Phillies' Bryce Harper: World 'Should Have No Room' for Inequality and Racism

Philadelphia Phillies All-Star outfielder Bryce Harper joined the numerous athletes across all sports condemning racial injustice following the death of George Floyd while in Minneapolis police custody May 25.

Harper posted an Instagram photo of him kneeling next to a young black boy with this lengthy caption:

"I've been trying to come up with words for this post. Trying to write the right things and trying to get my mind and heart wrapped around this. I grew up on the East Side of Las Vegas around many different cultures knowing one thing — My parents taught me to love everyone equally, regardless of the color of their skin, where they came from, young or old.
