Bayern Munich Defender Says Club Is Discussing Protest Over George Floyd's Death

Bayern Munich defender Joshua Kimmich said on Wednesday the team is discussing a possible protest over the killing of George Floyd.

“As a football player you have a big power in this world,” Kimmich said, according to The Independent's Miguel Delaney. “My opinion is we should feel this responsibility and say something like [Jadon] Sancho did. ...We discussed it and maybe we can do something. We maybe have to do something because we cannot give something like this a place.”

Floyd died in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25 after officer Derek Chauvin placed his knee on Floyd's neck for more eight minutes.
