The entire nation is reeling after the death of George Floyd, an African-American man in Minneapolis killed after a police officer was caught on video kneeling on his neck for over seven minutes.

Floyd's death has sparked protests against police brutality, specifically against the African-American community, across the country. .

Those protests have featured a number of prominent members of the increasingly socially conscious sports community.

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown even drove 15 hours from Boston to Atlanta to participate in protests there!

Even those who did not participate in the protests directly have used their platforms to voice their opinions?

Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri penned a piece that was published in the Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, in response to the protests.

Ujiri acknowledged the 2019 incident when a police officer stopped him from joining the Raptors on the court following their NBA championship victory.

"If it was another team president heading for the court -- a white team president -- would he have been stopped by that officer?

"I recognize what happened in Oakland last June is very different from what happened in Minneapolis last Monday?

In the NFL, San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York announced that he is donating $1 million to "local and national organizations who are creating change" amid the protests.

Floyd was a friend of former NBA player Stephen Jackson.

You think that was the only way this “trained” officer could handle the man

George Floyd was clearly murdered by a Minneapolis police officer

How many times do we have to see black men killed on national television

Last night, my son was shot in the eye with a rubber bullet while peacefully protesting for justice for George Floyd

Countless others have also experienced this use of excessive police force while trying to have their voices heard

For Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and far too many other women, men, children

"I wouldn't wish the way George Floyd was murdered on my worst enemy

That officer applied just enough pressure to keep him alive for almost six minutes in that chokehold
