Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller says he is hopeful that the outrage and unrest sparked by the killing of George Floyd result in structural change against racism and discrimination against black people that did not happen in similar situations in the past.
Miller shared his thoughts in an op-ed for Time:
"Many of us have seen this day coming, but let's not get it twisted. The social upheaval we are witnessing is not about one horrific incident in Minneapolis. This has been building up for years, decades, generations. We can either confront it for what it is and make it an inflection point in the arc of our nation's history, or we can become complicit in the perpetuation of our disease because we refuse to admit we are ill.
