Devin McCourty didn't hold back on a Sunday afternoon video conference with New England media.
The Patriots veteran safety took no questions during a six-minute session, choosing instead to make an impassioned statement about his belief that people need to stay attuned to the equality problems in the United States.
McCourty pledged his support for the cause of Breonna Taylor, who was killed by Louisville police when a shootout began after authorities burst into her home with a "no-knock warrant."
McCourty also spoke about healthcare inequities, the "digital divide" underprivileged students face because some don't have access to technology and the internet for remote learning, efforts to reach out and listen to minorities involved in law enforcement and the need for the NFL to have more diversity in coaching and personnel.
