Mark Stoops addresses UK Football attending Black Lives Matter protest

The Kentucky Football program made me proud today, and I’m sure they did the same for most of the people reading this post right now.

On Friday afternoon – on what would have been Breonna Taylor’s 27th birthday – Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops, along with associate head coach Vince Marrow, Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton, and the football student-athletes collectively marched through downtown Lexington to protest the racial injustices in the United States.

During a time when some of his peers have remained silent, Stoops made sure to make a direct statement, something he doesn’t normally do.
