Countless athletes and coaches from across the world of sports have spoken out against racism in the weeks following the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. Many have even marched in Black Lives Matter protests. Now, more and more sports figures are putting their money where their mouths are.
Athletes both black and white, and ranging in notoriety from Michael Jordan to collegiate tailbacks, continue to donate money to Black Lives Matter and similar racial justice causes.
Jordan, famously apolitical during his playing days, made waves over the weekend when he and Jordan Brand pledged $100 million over 10 years to groups that pursue racial equality and social justice.
