Similar to when everyone was challenged to speak up on the social justice issues, we need everyone, especially men to speak out against domestic violence. In this instance, everyone that represents @nfl in any facet should speak out against this. Our women continue to suffer.

Ex #Illini RB Ra'Von Bonner said he has committed as a grad transfer to Temple.

[Scott Springer @sspringersports]

Ra’Von Bonner tells me he has committed to Temple. He opted out of 2020 at Illinois. His fifth year will be with Owls. @AvesAthletics @TempleOwls @American_Conf @American_FB @gmcsports #cincyfb

“The idea that you would just stop and give up is something that would be a betrayal to our ancestors.”

@BarackObama tells @KingJames why it's our obligation to continue the fight for equality #TheShopHBO @hbomax

[Joey Burrow @JoeyB]

The black community needs our help. They have been unheard for far too long. Open your ears, listen, and speak. This isn’t politics. This is human rights.

[Joey Burrow @JoeyB]

How can you hear the pain Black people are going through and dismiss it as nothing. How can you hear the pain and respond with anything other than “I stand with you.”

One of my proudest days as AD. Today, I watched tomorrow’s leaders take a knee and then stand tall. Our #ILLINI family found its voice & used its platform to make a difference. Our future is bright in their hands. Honored to be included & to be associated with them. #BLM 🖤🧡💙

[Natee⚡️ @based_nvte]

@IlliniAD To all y’all “fans” in here “disappointed” about this post, that just showed me all I needed to see. My AD literally said he stands with the black community and it’s time for change and y’all “disappointed” ?? Pls stay out of memorial stadium and never come back! I’m disgusted 🤦🏾‍♂️
