ESPYs: Black Athletes Call on Sports Stars to "Use Your Platform" to Address Racism
A slew of athletes and stars made an appearance during a powerful segment on Sunday's ESPYs to address the deaths of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor by police and urge others to "use your platform" to address racism. Super Bowl champion Malcolm Jenkins kicked off the segment talking about how the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile — who were both shot and killed by police in 2016 — "changed my life." "I remember feeling hurt and defeated, confused about what I wanted to do next," he said.
