Clemson Football Team planning to protest for 'racial injustice'

The Clemson Insider has learned through several sources that members of the Clemson Football Team are planning a protest next Saturday (June 13) at Bowman Field in Clemson. The protesters will start their march at Bowman Field and will march through the Clemson campus.

TCI is told Clemson linebacker Mike Jones, Jr., is planning to go on his Instagram account tonight to announce the protest. The protest, according to information TCI has obtained, is for racial injustice.

In the aftermath of George Floyd’s death, an unarmed Minnesota black man who was killed by a police officer on May 25, peaceful protest and riots have broken out across the country as Americans have joined together in hopes to end the injustice towards black Americans due to police brutality.
