Patrick Mahomes posted a statement to his Twitter account saying "the senseless murders that we have witnessed are wrong and cannot continue in our country.''
"All I can think about is how I grew up in a locker room where people from every race, every background, and every community came together and became brothers to accomplish a single goal,'' wrote Mahomes, whose father Pat was a longtime major league pitcher.
"I hope our country can learn from the injustices that we have witnessed to become more like the locker room where everyone is accepted. We all need to treat each other like brothers and sisters, and become something better.
