“It hits different when it happens in your own backyard,” a player said in Louisville’s video. “I think I can speak for a lot of guys here when I say we’re hurting.”
Louisville players: ‘It’s time to take a stand’ Coach Chris Mack and players David Johnson, Charles Minlend and Malik Williams gave speeches and led the peaceful march from Cardinal Stadium to Throws Field, per the Louisville Courier-Journal.
It was the 121st day of protests in Louisville since Taylor’s death.
Hundreds of Cardinals athletes and citizens joined them chanting “Breonna Taylor” and “No justice, no peace.”
Players wore black T-shirts with the Cardinal logo and “BLM.”
