Evander Kane says more athletes need to speak out against racism

by

San Jose Sharks winger Evander Kane joined ESPN’s First Take Friday morning where he discussed the tragic death of George Floyd and how the sports world can do more to help fight racism.

“We need so many more athletes that don’t look like me speaking out about this, having the same amount of outrage that I have inside, and using that to voice their opinions, voice their frustration. Because that’s the only way it’s going to change,” Kane said. “We’ve been outraged for hundreds of years and nothing’s changed. It’s time for guys like Tom Brady and Sidney Crosby, those type of figures, to speak up about what is right and, clearly in this case, what is unbelievably wrong. Because that is the only way we’re going to actually create that unified anger to create that necessary change.”
