In the world’s most popular sport everyone is talking about Jadon Sancho. Not for his 3 goal game for Borussia Dortmund as they beat Paderborn 6-1 in the Bundesliga match on Sunday; but for celebrating a goal by removing his jersey to reveal a “Justice For George Floyd” message on his undershirt.
George Floyd’s death at the hands of police in Minneapolis has the whole world watching. Even in Bundesliga which is a Professional Football (Soccer) League in Germany and he wasn’t alone.
Weston McKennie paid tribute to George Floyd, by wearing a “Justice for George” armband on his left sleeve Saturday. McKennie from Texas, played on U.S. Men’s National Team and now plays for Schalke 04 in Bundesliga League said on Twitter:
“To be able to use my platform to bring attention to a problem that has been going on to long feels good!!! We have to stand up for what we believe in and I believe that it is time that we are heard! #justiceforgeorgefloyd #saynotoracism”
