Madelyn Burke: As protests all over the country continue in the wake of the murders of George Floyd and Briona Taylor, more NFL players are starting to participate in the cause against police brutality. Among these players, some notable Carolina Panthers have protested recently in the Charlotte community. Joining me now is Panthers reporter Jason Hewitt. And Jason, being involved in the community is nothing new for this team. But tell me a little bit about this "Justice Walk" and some of the players who have participated in it recently.
Jason Hewitt: Absolutely. So the "Justice Walk" was against police brutality and it was set in Dilworth Myers Park. And among the players who participated were Shaq Thompson, Tré Boston, Chris Manhertz, Ian Thomas and even André Smith from the Ravens also participated.
Madelyn Burke: And you mentioned in Dilworth Myers Park, that's an affluent Charlotte neighborhood. What is the importance of it being held there?
Jason Hewitt: Well, with Matt Rhule coming in and having character being like a really essential part of the organization. I feel like having this protest in this neighborhood allows all these players to show up and show out and be leaders in the community.
Madelyn Burke: Jason Hewitt, thank you so much for the time and the insight.
