METAIRIE, La. -- The New Orleans Saints' player leaders, including Malcolm Jenkins and Drew Brees, announced a season-long #SayHerName initiative Friday to support the plight of Black women in America.
Saints linebacker Demario Davis and left tackle Terron Armstead explained that the "player-led campaign" was conceived as a way to "be on the same page with a united issue" to use their platform this season.
They credited Saints owner Gayle Benson and the organization for being "100% supportive."
"That's what you need for change -- you need everybody," Davis said.
