Trey Flowers urges folks to ‘try listening’ to the protests and people of different backgrounds

Lions defensive end Trey Flowers is typically a man of few public words. But Flowers was compelled to address the ongoing protests and the death of George Floyd that are dominating the nation right now. He titled his address “It’s not wrong to not know, it’s wrong to not want to know”.

In his nearly 10-minute video post on his Instagram account, Flowers described how the messages being transmitted and received often resemble the “telephone game”, where it gets progressively diluted and distorted the more people get involved in the chain of conversation.

“Try listening” was Flowers’ impassioned plea to folks who are upset with the protest movement. It’s worth the time to watch–and listen–to what Flowers has to say.
