Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores told his players they have the right to protest and show their emotions following the killing of George Floyd, and he urged them to be careful if they choose to be active in their cities.
Flores, during a video conference on Thursday, said he was "a good friend" with former University of Indiana football player Chris Beaty, who was shot and killed in Indianapolis on Saturday night.
Lance Bennett, who is Flores' assistant and close friend, played football with Beaty at Indiana.
Flores said Beaty, who he remembered as being "full of life," was protesting in Indianapolis.
