Tennessee Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk has released a statement calling for equality after the death of George Floyd while in police custody.
Adams Strunk is just the latest member of the Titans to call for racial equality. Here’s her statement:
“I want to add my voice and the voice of our organization to the calls for equality and reiterate our firm stance against all forms of racism.
“Hearts, minds and institutions need to change throughout our country. Those who face racism need to be heard, and more importantly, understood by those who haven’t listened before.
“Our organization and our players have dedicated time and resources to these issues through the ‘We Stand For’ campaign and we are making a difference in our own community, tackling issues like educational equity, judicial reform, policing policies and assistance for underserved areas. We are proud to support those efforts and we will continue to find ways to impact our region. As part of this, we are providing information to our fans through a resource guide (https://www.tennesseetitans.com/community/we-stand-for/resource-center) so others can join us in these steps to progress.
“Hearing our players and coaches speak over the last two weeks have been constructive to this vital discussion. I support our players using peaceful protests and their platforms to advance us as a nation. I would encourage those who haven’t thought about these issues before to understand the pain, anger and frustration of the black community. Black lives matter. We should all agree on that.”
The Titans also released this video on social media.
