As protests continue across the United States in the wake of George Floyd’s alleged murder by Minneapolis police, Syracuse head coaches and teams have shared their stances on Floyd’s killing and the Black Lives Matter movement.

Some Orange athletes, including senior center Bourama Sidibe, have participated in protests across the country. Though not every SU head coach or team has released an official statement, many have shared their thoughts on social media.
