Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow was among the notable athletes to speak out Friday in the wake of George Floyd's death while in police custody Monday in Minneapolis, saying the "black community needs our help."
"They have been unheard for far too long," Burrow, the Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 overall draft pick, said Friday on Twitter. "Open your ears, listen, and speak. This isn't politics. This is human rights."

“They have been unheard for far too long,”
What? That’s all I ever hear watching the MSM.
What about the RIOTS and Looting boys?
They appear to get excited to burn down their neighborhood when they have enough people to do so and they know the cops will not enforce law and order.
Never let a crisis go to waste.
“When will all Americans be treated and respected equally regardless of race and gender??”
Gender? I guess the soccer player gets “equally” excited when whites and white males are victims of violent crime.
Well, he did speak out against the black who beat up white residents of a nursing home in Detroit, right?
Also, the elderly white couple who were killed by a black sniper while visiting their son’s grave, right?
Burrow could have simply denounced the killing. Instead he infantilized blacks like leftists and the media always do, likely to ingratiate himself to teammates. Pathetic.
Unheard????
BS.
Be against any form of violence and I may listen, otherwise you will be heading for Colin land
“They have been unheard for far too long,”
Nonsense. Just concentrate on playing football. I am older than he is, and race is all I have heard all my life.
I wonder what the Japanese have to talk about. It is about 99% Japanese. They need to import other races so they to can agonize over racial inequalities.
One of the things I learned over the past few months is that I don’t miss sports at all.
Bengals offensive line is ranked #30 of 32.
Bengals offensive line has four black guys, one white guy.
Joe is saying all the right things to keep his body intact
‘Instead he infantilized blacks like leftists and the media always do’
what else is there to do with population of people who insist on acting like infants...?
‘likely to ingratiate himself to teammates.’
what’s wrong with that...? he has to deal intimately with, and in fact depend upon his teammates, the vast majority of whom are black...
He should have just kept his foolish mouth shut.
It is the kind of drivel you expect from today’s college graduates.
Joe Burrow should have stayed out of politics. This is a foolish rookie mistake. He made himself small. His comments will have no worthwhile impact in the world. Nobody needs Joe Burrow to explain what we all have seen.
“One of the things I learned over the past few months is that I dont miss sports at all.”
The NFL, by its actions, has unwarily promoted that sentiment across the nation.
Oh, Joe. Dont lose your new fanbase before camp begins. Dumb.
Well done, child, for repeating the patronizing mantra of the left. Apparently blacks are too stupid and incompetent to organize or help themselves.
