Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman Cameron Erving said Friday head coach Mike McCarthy delivered a simple message during a team meeting about racial justice.
"He said it in the meeting, 'I'm a white man, and I'm trying to understand what is truly going on,'" Erving said, per Jori Epstein of USA Today.
McCarthy later told reporters he's trying to listen and learn from his players:
"I don't think I can sit, even though I'm in front of a microphone or in front of the room as the leader of the football team, and even for a second know exactly what the Black community is going through.
