Joe Burrow, Bengals wear special messages on shirts ahead of Week 1 kickoff

Cincinnati Bengals players used pregame warmups in Week 1 before the team’s showdown with the Los Angeles Chargers to share an important message.

Burrow and Co. donned shirts that displayed the messaging “end racism” on the back. One shot of star wideout A.J. Green showed the following on the front: “Injustice against one of us is injustice against all of us.”

The display of unity comes on the heels of the team using an off day to march to the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, where Trey Hopkins and Burrow issued statements.

A previous report had said the Bengals were considering a pregame display or demonstration during the national anthem while standing against racial injustice.
