George McCaskey Releases Statement Regarding George Floyd Murder And Protests.
"The murder of American George Floyd by a police office has sparked riots and unrest in the United States. It's a story and theme we see way too often across the world but especially in the United States. The recent events have sparked some NFL players and owners to speak out against the violence and the latest is Chicago Bears' chairman George H. McCaskey."A week ago another unarmed African-American man died at the hands of a white police officer. We are witnessing the anger and frustration play out in protests across the nation, including Chicago. "We must do more than wring our hands and hope it doesn't happen again. As an organization, we have addressed it internally by offering unconditional support to our family of staff, coaches and players, and today Ryan Pace and Coach Nagy spent the allotted two hours of team meeting time listening to and healing together with our players and the coaching staff. "Through our voice, our actions and our resources, it is our obligation to lead. We will continue to work with our player-led social justice committee to provide funding and exposure to local organizations dedicated to empowering communities that have been oppressed for far too long. We're proud to support organizations like BUILD Chicago; I Grow Chicago; My Block, My Hood, My City; and Youth Guidance, among others, who are doing great work in these communities and we encourage fans to partner with us in supporting them. Our commitment is to continue to be an active participant in change." A statement from our chairman George H. McCaskey: pic.twitter.com/U0JPfeElGX
