Professional sports stars from all walks of life are taking a stand against racial injustice in the United States following the murder of George Floyd at the hands of the Minneapolis Police Department earlier this week.

Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons is now the latest to speak up. In doing so, he’s honoring Floyd’s memory and calling for the end of blatant racism while saying “enough is enough.”
