Richard Sherman is one of the NFL’s leading voices, regularly speaking his mind on issues of race and social justice.
On Monday, he praised the white quarterbacks who have joined the conversation in speaking up in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.
Floyd’s death while in custody of Minneapolis police last week has gripped the nation and prompted an outpouring of commentary from athletes acknowledging the ongoing problem of police violence toward black Americans, with several white NFL quarterbacks among them.
“I’m impressed with the white QBs speaking up because those are voices that carry different weight than the black voices for some people,” Sherman told MMQB’s Albert Breer on Monday.
