safety would like the to follow in the NBA's footsteps when it comes to supporting the Black Lives Matter movement.

"The NBA, I think they had a tight organization and you saw that and you still see it," McLeod said, per Tim McManus of ESPN. "I think that's the most upsetting part. Not saying that we haven't done anything, I would just like to see more be done."

McManus explained the NFL has taken some steps, such as pledging more than $250 million over 10 years to social justice causes, writing phrases such as "End Racism" in the end zone and playing "Lift Ev'ry Voice And Sing," which is known as the Black national anthem, before games.
