Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan has released an op-ed statement in response to the killing of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer and the systemic racism that is a bedrock of American society.
Racism, in all its forms, will kill. It kills people, it kills communities, it kills dreams, it kills hope.
The events of the past 10 days have been alarming and disheartening. Alarming because we know the history of systemic inequity that brought us to this point, not only with the recent killing of George Floyd and other African Americans in our country, but also the disproportionate impact the coronavirus has wreaked in communities of color.
