Redskins secondary show Ferguson victim Michael Brown support (PHOTO)
Last night when the Washington Redskins secondary walked out the tunnel to play against the Cleveland Browns, the secondary came out with their hands raised in the air. 11 total players walked out the tunnel with their hands up in the air. It was a show of solidarity with the people in Ferguson, Missouri, who are protesting the shooting of teenager Michael Brown.
According to ESPN.com, Safety Ryan Clark said Brown “could have been any one of us. That could have been any one of our brothers, our cousins. … When you get an opportunity to make a statement and be more than a football player, it’s good.”
