“We are a team. Black, white brown,” say the players in the video. “Together we are a family. We are brothers.”

“In the field we are relentless. We are strong. We are conquerors. But we are human beings first.”

“And at this moment in history, we cannot be silent. We must speak for our brothers and sisters, for our sons and daughters.”

The idea of ​​sharing the message came after the players met with Stephen A. Smith and Condoleezza rice … that inspired the team to use their platform for good, according to al.com.

The message continued … “When we see our families, our neighbors, our classmates subjected to violence, we recognize the fear in their eyes.”

“We believe that solutions to our challenges are within us. We choose to listen. We choose to listen and understand the perspectives of others.”

“Let’s listen. Let’s unite. Because all lives cannot matter until black lives matter.”
