Madison Square Garden Company Calls for 'Positive Change' After Initial Silence Following Killing of George Floyd

The Madison Square Garden Company issued a statement Tuesday breaking its silence in the wake of the killing of George Floyd.

"Every one of us has a role to play in creating a more just and equal society, where there is no racism, bigotry, violence or hate," the Madison Square Garden Sports and Entertainment companies said in a statement. "We stand with all who act for positive change."

The New York Rangers, Rockettes and MSG social media accounts also shared the statement, which did not elaborate on its meaning of "positive change." The company's statement Tuesday coincided with Floyd's funeral in Houston.
