Blackhawks issue statement following death of George Floyd, mass protests

The Blackhawks joined the sports world and hockey community on Monday by speaking up in the wake of George Floyd's death and the mass protests that ensued over the weekend.

The full statement reads as follows:

The events over the past several days have been painful for our city of Chicago and the many communities within it. There is no tolerance for racism and inequality in our city and society.

We need to educate ourselves, have more honest conversations and acknowledge that we have a lot of work to do, beginning with our own organization.
