1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: Have you guys had any discussions about action you might

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: take as a team. No, yet, We talked about a

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: little bit in the locker room. But sure, we'll continue

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: to discuss it and figure out ways that you know,

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: our voices can be heard and you know, ways that

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: we can impact the communities around us. The communities were

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: from I said, we have a platform by playing football.

8
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 1: We need to use it properly and like I said,

9
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: just trying demand change. All right, Next question is Joe Caryota,

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: followed by Eric Group. All right, James, how you doing,

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: Buddy good? How are you good? Um? Yeah, some of

12
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: the guys said that you guys, you know, talk today

13
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 1: before practice. Some NFL teams decided not to practice today.

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: Was that ever a thought in your guy's mind as

15
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: you guys came together to discuss what is going on

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: across the country right now? I mean there's a lot

17
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: of thoughts running through a lot of guys minds. And said, um,

18
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: may not necessarily mean not to practice today, but we'll

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 1: continue to discuss things as a team and figure out,

20
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, what's best. And I said, how to you know,

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: get our voices heard and come together as a team

22
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: and figure out what's best to make an impact in

23
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: a positive way in this world. I said, we need

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: just need more positivity, more good light. And I said,

25
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: just spread a lot of good energy, a lot of

26
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: positivity in this world. I think that's what the world

27
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: needs to see. Next question Eric Room, followed by Loving

28
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: reading James. Is there a difficulty in playing and going

29
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 1: through this because I think we're seeing now. You know,

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: sports is a significant part of everyone's life. It's a

31
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: business for some, but it's it kind of pales with

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: the Paris and what's going on. It's hard for you

33
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: to balance that as just personally. It can be tough.

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: It hurts to keep seeing these things happen over and

35
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: over and over again. And I said, there's a lot

36
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: more important things going on in the world and its words.

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: And like I said, we have a huge platform here

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: and it's supporting that we use it properly, try and help,

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 1: you know, use our voice to those who marketalize and

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: get their voices heard. Go through the struggle each and

41
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: every day that you know I may not see, or

42
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 1: many other people may not see, but there's really people

43
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: out there going through things. But there's each and every

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: day that's not getting caught on camera, So we're just

45
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: trying to speak out for those people to try and

46
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: make the world better for them. Next question, Love and Reid,

47
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: followed by Alex Park and James. How's it going. I know,

48
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: before a lot of this happened, it didn't take up

49
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: a lot of my mental space. But I feel like

50
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 1: right now all of my mental space is taken up

51
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: by watching what's going on. I'm not saying it makes

52
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: it hard to work, but it does make it a

53
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: little bit difficult for more to concentrate what I'm supposed

54
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: to be doing. How much mental spaces it's taking up

55
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: for you, um as you're supposed to get out there

56
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: on the field. It takes up a lot, honestly, Like

57
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: I said, it hurts just to keep seeing these things.

58
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: And I said, especially with you know, social media being

59
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: more prevalent and you know, camera phones, people are catching

60
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: a lot and stuff on camera more than ever before.

61
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: It's not like it wasn't happening before. It's just now

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: things are being seen, you know, by the whole world now.

63
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: And I said, these things been going on for a

64
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: very long time. People have been speaking up for a

65
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: long time, but I think now more than ever, there's

66
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: more people speaking about it. I think it's great. I

67
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: think trying to have those tough conversations talking to people,

68
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 1: like I said, just trying to figure out what what's

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: best to do. And it's tough. Sometimes you feel stuck.

70
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: You don't know who to talk to, you don't know

71
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: what to do. But like I said, I think guys

72
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: across all sports, and guys and girls across all sports

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: and just trying to do whatever they can to I said,

74
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: make an impact, make a change a thing a lot

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: of people truly care about. You know, it's not just

76
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: one subject. It's not just police brutality. There's so much

77
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: going on more than just that. Um there's so many

78
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: issues that need to be tackled. Sometimes you just don't

79
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: know where to start. But I said, I think this

80
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: is a great beginning, just grabbing everybody's attention by just

81
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: you know, the NBA not playing their playoff games, and

82
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: I think is the NFL we have to figure out

83
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: a way for us to you know, make an impact

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: as well. In real quick how proud were you? You

85
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: talked about the NBA, but even the Detroit Lions, not

86
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: Patricia faith Flowers, Ron Harmon, they went out there to

87
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: make sure that their voices were heard. Awful. Also, how

88
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: proud were you are those guys? That was awesome. That

89
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: was huge for them to you know, cancel practice and

90
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: spend the whole day speaking on that subject. I know

91
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 1: a lot of guys were emotion about it, some of

92
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: our old teammates, you know, thron Harmon Trade flowers and

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 1: guys like that. I think that was that was huge.

94
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 1: It's just said, I think it's just the beginning. Um.

95
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: A lot of people care about this subject. And I said,

96
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: the more we continue to talk about it, I think

97
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: no things so hopefully turn for the better. Next question,

98
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: Eric Roub, Sorry about that, James. I'm wondering if it's

99
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 1: too personally I understand, but if has anything like this

100
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,600
Speaker 1: ever happened to you where you've been unfairly judged or

101
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: or something like this, whether it was when you were

102
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: growing up or in college or even recently for me.

103
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: Um no, not not exactly like some of these situations

104
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 1: that have been going on right now. But I mean,

105
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily have to be you know, getting you know,

106
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: shot by the police and things of that nature. It

107
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: could be you know, being followed in the store all

108
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: things of that nature, just being judged by the color

109
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: of your skin and not for the person you are

110
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 1: or things that people deal with on a daily basis.

111
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be just myself just seeing these

112
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: incidents that are going on, knowing that that can be

113
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: my brother, that could be my dad, and I could

114
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: be my cousin, I could be one of my best friends.

115
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: You know, it just hurts. I mean every time I

116
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: see these situations, I think that's somebody that I truly

117
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: care about. It hurts. Man. You don't you don't ever

118
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: want to see anybody had to deal with these situations.

119
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 1: Is It's just not right. You have to be better.

120
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: We have to do better as people. I said, people

121
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: have to change their actions, change their hearts, just find

122
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: a way to think better judgment. Thank you. Next question

123
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: Alex Barth. Hey, James, I've seen on Twitter that you've

124
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 1: been a big supporter of the student movement at University

125
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,600
Speaker 1: of Wisconsin as they've gone through all this and now

126
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: this latest incident hits close to home. I'm wondering just

127
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 1: your thoughts on what they've been doing and if you've

128
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: been in communication with them at all. I mean, I

129
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: have one of my best friends. He works at recruiting

130
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: at Wisconsin, so he keeps me kind of involved with

131
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: things that they're trying to do there. Is trying to

132
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: create a more diverse can because and you know, try

133
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: and help make the campus more that first, get more

134
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: minority students in there. I think that'll be huge. Wisconsins

135
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: of majority you know, white school, a majority white people

136
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: on campus, so to make it a more diverse campus

137
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: will definitely be a great start for sure. But to

138
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: see those you know, young athletes, they want to try

139
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 1: and make a difference in a positive way and try

140
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: and help those you know who may not be getting

141
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: those opportunities like they should, or those people who are marginalized,

142
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: help them get into college and further their education like

143
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: the rest of the people in the world. I think

144
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: that's a be a huge deal and something that'd be

145
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: be great for the university. We'll pause for just a

146
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: minute to see if anybody else wants to raise a hynd.

147
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: We'll go back to left and read gym. It's just

148
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: real quick. I'll give you a football question. Just how

149
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: does it feel where you are in camp right now?

150
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: As everybody kind of ringing it up together, getting are

151
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 1: you where we need to be without the preseason games

152
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: and just kind of going up against your own team.

153
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: I wish you had to continue to progress because, like

154
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: I've been saying, it's on a crunch schedule. Um, I

155
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: mean when it's like a couple of weeks out from

156
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: the first game. So each and every practice has to

157
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: be meaningful, Each and every beating, each and every walkthrough

158
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: has to be meaningful. Um. Like I said, on a

159
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: crunch schedule, guys are trying to do the best they

160
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: can to be in shape, take care of their bodies,

161
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: get that contact in. Um, you're not going to play

162
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: a full game like you may have had a chance

164
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: we can get those full speed reps in, trying to

165
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: make it translate as much to a game as possible,

166
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,360
