Matt Ryan joins ESPN to talk about Atlanta community fundraiser

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is one of several white quarterbacks to speak out in wake of the protests surrounding the death of George Floyd. While others shared social media posts, supporting black communities, Ryan went a step further.

Last week, Atlanta’s former MVP QB created a GoFundMe aimed at advancing the lives of the black community, and donated $500,000 to help kick things off. Ryan’s fundraiser has raised $1.2 million in total thus far.

ESPN’s Outside The Lines program had Ryan on as a guest to talk about his fund and why it was important for him to get involved. Check out the segment below, as shared by OTL’s Jeremy Schaap.
