Will Alabama players skip practice to stand alongside others fighting racial injustice within the sports community?

The violence of racial injustice continues.

As if the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor among others were not enough, another issue occurred on Sunday. Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old, was hit by four of seven gunshots in his back during an arrest by police officer Rusten Sheskey — according to multiple reports.

The incident happened in Kenosha, Wisconsin, as Blake was trying to break up a fight between two women.

While police responded to a call of domestic violence, Blake tried to get away from the scene and showed no signs of violent activity.
