The Penguins on Monday night released a statement condemning racism and the violence that followed the killing of George Floyd.
The statement referred to the violence that happened outside of PPG Paints Arena when a group separate from the Floyd protestors, largely individuals who have made a habit of exacerbating otherwise peaceful protests, lit a police car on fire and caused other damage to the area surrounding the arena.
"This has been a horrible time for our country and our city," the statement said. "We all are appalled by senseless violence and share the outrage that racism and social injustice continue to permeate our society.
