DeMarcus Lawrence took to social media on Tuesday after hearing continued criticism that team owner Jerry Jones had not made any public statements regarding racial injustice in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
The Dallas Cowboys defensive end said his point is even though Jones “is a person of influence and power, we need to stop relying on others to talk about change and actually be a part of the change.”
He said, “My choice is to be part of change.”
Lawrence also fired back at the many people throwing different names at him for not condemning the Cowboys owner.
