University of Texas wide receiver Brennan Eagles wrote in a Twitter post Thursday that he's "not going to play another snap" amid the racial injustice currently plaguing the United States following the death of George Floyd.
Eagles added: "I'll be damned if you think I'll play another snap with the platform I have that [affects the] majority of people that contribute to the sport who don't actually play."
Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis last Monday after being transported to the hospital. He said on numerous occasions that he couldn't breathe before passing out, but officer Derek Chauvin didn't move his knee from the back of Floyd's neck.
