Patrick Mahomes is relentless in his fight for racial injustice and his most recent statement following the team’s final training camp solidified that.
When asked his response to critics against the Black Lives Matter movement, the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback had this to say:
“I’m going to do whatever I believe and whatever I believe is right,” Mahomes said. “I’m going to do whatever I can to fight for equality for all people. And I feel like I’ve shown that over this offseason and I’m going to continue that fight. I’m not worried about people and how they’re going to do negative stuff back to me. I’m worried about doing what’s right for humanity and making sure all people feel equal.”
The cry for justice reached high levels after footage surfaced showing a cop shooting Jacob Blake in the back seven times as he walked back to his vehicle.
The Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans and Washington Football Team all chose not to practice Thursday and use the day as a moment of reflection and action.
