According to The Athletic‘s Rhiannon Walker, Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins, and SVP of Player Development Doug Williams, will head to Washington D.C. this weekend to speak with Mayor Muriel Bowser, who attended the protests for Black Lives Matter on Saturday.
Haskins has been very vocal on social media about the need for police reform, and the protests against police brutality that sparked after the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis a couple of weeks ago. As for Williams, he is famously known as the first African-American quarterback to win a Super Bowl in the NFL, which he did with the Redskins in 1987.
Mayor Bowser has been active regarding protests in Washington D.C., though she has faced some criticism online for making hollow acts, such as painting ‘Black Lives Matter’ on the street in front of the White House, but making no movement towards defunding the police department. It is unclear what will be discussed with Haskins and Williams come to chat, but you can reasonably guess that this will be part of the conversation.
