The Toronto Raptors have released a statement in the wake of the ongoing protests in the U.S.
The team called for humankind to confront the systemic problem and do more than just grieve.“As an organization and a community, we come from all over the world. We are diverse, we speak different languages, but our shared humanity unites us. When we see racism and violence committed against someone because of the colour of their skin, we should, and do, feel outrage. We cannot accept this.
While we grieve for those we have lost, we know grieving is not enough. We must honour their memory by acknowledging these ills exist, confronting them, and coming together to create a better society.
