GSM Live 5/22/20: In Full View - Race, Sport, and Privilege
Ahmaud Arbery's case has sparked outrage in the sports community. An athlete himself, Ahmaud was out jogging during the day on February 23rd when two armed men, claiming he resembled a burglar, fatally shot him. Among those in the sports world to condemn the killing was LeBron James who took to social media stating, "We're literally hunted every day..." Athletes from around the country have now added their names to a letter demanding that the US Attorney General investigate the death and police handling of Arbery's case, which took over two months to see Gregory and Travis McMichael, the two main suspects, arrested. Is this a new moment in athlete activism?
