16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Throughout a week of mainly peaceful

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,959
Speaker 1: protests around Jacksonville, the Jaguars have been meeting and planning,

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: and they haven't been and talking about football as many

19
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 1: people around the country are. They've been discussing social injustice

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: and racism and what the path forward could be for

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: themselves and their community. As a team, the Jaguars decided

22
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: to do something immediately, and it's only the beginning of

23
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: what's to come. It started with Friday's march from t

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 1: I a A bank Field to the Jacksonville Sheriff's office

25
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: steps about a mile away, and then back. The players

26
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: and coaches and their families led the way, followed by

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: most of the Jaguars front office and business side, a

28
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: total of about two fifty people. When it ends, no

29
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: one really knows, but as you'll hear, there's a vow

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: to keep the momentum going for as long as it tanks.

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: It could be weeks, it could be months, years, could

32
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: be a few elections, or even a generation. But it's

33
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 1: a start, and that's where the Jaguars are at the moment.

34
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: We start at t I a A bank Field at

35
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: the beginning of the march, with comments from Director of

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: player Development Marcus Pollard, wide receiver DJ Chark, kicker Josh Lambeau,

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: and team Chaplin former offensive line mean Maurice Williams. I

38
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: want to thank Coach Maron because all of this sparked

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: from his vision. Coach UH coach Marone. Dave called Well

40
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: and our players. We had a team meeting on Tuesday,

41
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: and the guy said, we need to do something, and

42
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: we want to do something now, and so this came

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: from that conversation. Coach said later for virtual meetings that

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: we're supposed to be having learning football. He thought it

45
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: was profound and very uh productive that we do something

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: and our players have a voice to say how they feel.

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: And our guys decided this is something that they want

48
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: to do right now. And we have some other steps

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: that we're going to continue to do. But I want

50
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: to thank Coach Maron for that vision. Dave called Well

51
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: for that vision, for allowing our players to have a platform,

52
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: to have this voice to speak their opinions, and to

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: have so many of them here today is awesome. DJ.

54
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just happy that we are to be

55
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 1: here together to support something that meets very that's very

56
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: dear to me and a lot of people that's out here. Um,

57
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's good to see the community come together.

58
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, police brutality and all the racism that's come

59
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: up in the past months has that's something that's been

60
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: going along forever, you know, so it's great to see

61
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: our boys come step out of the shadows and see

62
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: y'all support us, and we all can do this together

63
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: as a community. So thank you, thank you, m Um,

64
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: Hello everybody, thank you for coming out. Um. There are

65
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: a lot of things about these issues going on right

66
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: now that I don't understand personally and I never will. UM.

67
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: What I do know is there are people that came

68
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: before us doing things of this nature that allowed a

69
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: peaceful protest like this to occur. When change needs to happen,

70
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: there is a system for us to force that change,

71
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 1: and this is the start of it. And I'm here

72
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: to support my teammates, all of them, doesn't matter what

73
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: the color is. And I'm here to learn maybe a

74
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: little bit more about how serious this is. And so

75
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: thank you guys for let me be here. Thank you

76
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: all for being here, and let's start to affect change.

77
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: Thank you, josh Mo. Will you definitely, Um, you almost

78
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: can feel the weight of the moment this time in history.

79
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: It's just, Um, there's been a lot that's been going

80
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: on in two thousand and twenty, from the pandemic from

81
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: now this and this has been such a loss of

82
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: life throughout the world. And this you almost gathered to

83
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: this place, You're like, man, like, Lord, what is going on?

84
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: Even if you don't know the Lord, You're like, man,

85
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 1: what is going on right now? But I do know

86
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: this one thing. No matter how much influence you have,

87
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: no matter how much money you have, but we're all

88
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: being called to wonder where what is going on? With Gods?

89
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: There has to be a higher power that can solve this,

90
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: that can bring light to this. Because as much as

91
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: advanced as our society is and as much technology as

92
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: we have, we've been faced with things we haven't had

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: the answers to. And so when you are faced with

94
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: moments like today, we need to get on our knees

95
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: and we need to pray. A man, It's a scripture

96
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: I want to read and second Chronicle seven fourteen. It says,

97
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: if my people who are called by not my name,

98
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and

99
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from

100
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: heaven and I will forgive their sin, and I will

101
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: heal their land. Let's pray. Father, We just thank you

102
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: for just being such a good guy. We thank you, Lord,

103
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: even as we are in this season, Lord, that you

104
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: are Sovereign, that you're watching over us, that you've been

105
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: protecting us. And Lord, for those who have lost lives

106
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: in this year. Lord, we pray for those families. We

107
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: pray for those famili who has lost life in this

108
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, those who have lost lost lives in this

109
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 1: in this pandemic that's gone worldwide. But Lord, we also

110
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: pray for those firefighters, Lord, who just lost their lives,

111
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: just serving during their active duty. Lord, just trying to

112
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: make sure that they can keep us safe. But we

113
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: pray for the families. We pray that you will comfort them,

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: that you're bringing peace to their minds and their hearts

115
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: as they process losing yet another life. But Lord, we

116
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: pray today the reason why we gather for the injustice

117
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: that is going on this country for far too long.

118
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: We pray that you unite us. Lord, let us not

119
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: just be another moment, and that we move forward and say, Okay,

120
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: we've done that, but let us be a moment that

121
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: is stirred by the fire of God, and we recognize

122
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: that we need you, Lord and what you stir in

123
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: our hearts to repent and recognize we don't have all

124
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: the answers that we are wicked in our ways that

125
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: in our own righteousness, Lord, Father God, it is not

126
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: good enough. But let us rely on the Lord, our

127
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: God Almighty. But we pray for George Floyd's family. We

128
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: pray for Brianna Taylor's family. We pray for the many

129
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: others who have lost their lives to brutality in this country.

130
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: Lord Lord, let it never be again that events like

131
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: this happened, where there's lynchings and there's people who are

132
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: killed on the TV for us to watch with our

133
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: own eyes, and we have to explain to our sons

134
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: and our daughters what is going on. Lord. We pray

135
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: for change that happened, for change to happen. Now, let

136
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: us embrace the beauty of God's creation. Let us embrace

137
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: the different colors, Let us embrace the different cultures. Let

138
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: us embrace the different people groups that you have put

139
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: here on this earth floor. We pray for peace and

Speaker 1: our mark today. Lord be with us. Lord, as we

141
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: go out as one unit united, recognize that we need change,

142
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: lordie not that we pray for wisdom for our political figures.

143
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: Step into that system and break up this mess, Lord

144
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: from the God, so we can get the truth. Lord,

145

146
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,240

00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: that you are a guy who can bring change. In fact,

Speaker 1: we are able to now move forward in unity. Lord,

00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: and that's what we're praying for. And in this in

00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: Philip Randolph between the arena and the baseball grounds, and

162
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: then right on Bay Street by Intuition and Maxwell House,

163
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 1: before arriving at the steps of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. There,

164
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: former Jaguars tied End and now officer Ernest Wilford spoke

165
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: to the group assembled, followed by Jaguars running backs coach

166
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: Terry Robiski and wide receiver Chris Conway. Good up, Mr Ernest,

00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: thanks jump um. I'm not gonna say a whole lot

Speaker 1: at this moment in time. I just wanted you guys

Speaker 1: to know that you guys voice it's heart and I

170
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: would use my platform and everything in my will being

171
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:11,559
Speaker 1: to make sure that your message is transpired in our office.

172
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: Um at the moment, at this moment time, if you

173
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: believe in a cause here today, I will request you

174
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: guys to take a knee for one minute, and now

175
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 1: we will have a few words by first terryal Bhisky,

176
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: followed by Mr Chris Connolly. I guess that's the veteran,

177
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: the veteran on the staff, the old guy get to

178
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: do with it. But just to touch a little bit

179
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,959
Speaker 1: on what Marcus talked about. When Marcus spoke earlier, he

180
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: spoke about his his grandmother. Say, his grandmother was in

181
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: the march and she got spent on a couple of times.

182
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: I feel like I was in that march with her.

183
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: I've been doing this for so long, uh, I was

184
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: in my first march. I think back in the eighteen

185
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 1: sixty seven, nineties, six gig the first time we had

186
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: to march, and I've been through about three or four

187
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: NFL strike since then. I've had a bunch of marches

188
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: since then. A little bit of what Josh was speaking

189
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: on is as Americans, I think march is the way

190
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: we have to let our voice be heard. And all

191
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: those places I've been, this is my I think my

192
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 1: eight NFL team I've been with, and I think the

193
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me. We're sitting on the sitting in

194
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: a meeting on Tuesday, and they hear the head coach,

195
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: the head coach of the organization step up and say

196
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna say something. I think as we all travel

197
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: through life, we see we see actors, We see actresses,

198
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: we see athletes, We see people all the time as

199
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: an individual making statement. We see uh, some big name

200
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: actors step out front and get arrested for what they

201
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: believe in because they want to make a statement. We

202
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: see Lebron James say things. We see Florid mill Weather

203
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: to say things. This is the first time I can

204
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: tell you, guys, in my lifetime, I felt doganization an

205
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,720
Speaker 1: organization said something to have a head coach to step

206
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: up with his family to have a general manager to

207
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: speak to all the players, black and white and said,

208
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna make a statement. I have never in my

209
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: forty five years in the NFL, I've never seen it.

210
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: And then I have the owner to come out and

211
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: release the article he released and the racism that he

212
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: felt and he still feels today was unbelievable to the

213
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: city of Jacksonville. I'm gonna say, we're here today as

214
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: this group, all of Jacksonville be out. You have something

215
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: I promised to be brought of. Everybody walking out here

216
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: today have a shirt on and they said black lives matter,

217
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 1: and it does. I swear to God, I'm black. My

218
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: kids are black. I'll tell Josh, Josh, you may not

219
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,319
Speaker 1: see the results from this, but your grandkids will, your

220
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: kids will, their kids will. We're watching today because a

221
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: black man got killed and it started with that. And

222
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 1: I know these t shirts read black lives matter. Life

223
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: is all we got. Every life matter. I think Jodine

224
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 1: know me well enough to know if he was in

225
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: the building and he was burning down, I'd go get him.

226
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 1: Todd Wash don't know his life matters to me. I

227
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,199
Speaker 1: worry with him every day. When that Moncacly rise Joe Dana.

228
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 1: I love the people. I love guys. Y'all we got

229
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: is each other, stay together, stick together, stand for what

230
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 1: you believe in, and f the rest of it. Chris Connley,

231
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: thank you. I'm gonna try to keep this um as

232
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,439
Speaker 1: short as I can. There's a wealth of a welling

233
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: up of emotions that has swept over me the past week.

234
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: UM and uh, I'm just gonna do my best to

235
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: keep things short. But I had to write it down

236
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: because I didn't want to get up here and just

237
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 1: just have all that emotion overflow. UM. But watching watching

238
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: the events that have happened with mod Aubrey, and starting

239
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: with the mod Aubrey the video when it got released,

240
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: I sat in my house upstairs, in my office and

241
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: I just began to cry be because I saw someone

242
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 1: who looked like me, someone who looked like my brother,

243
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: someone who looked like my friends, get shot down and

244
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: fall on the street like an animal. And that hurt

245
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: me because I've seen it time and time again. And

246
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: so I forgive me if I'm long winded, but I'm

247
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: gonna get through this. The events of the last few

248
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 1: months have culminated and shook the nation for many opening

249
00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: their eyes to something the marginalized have pointed out the

250
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,560
Speaker 1: whole time. What I and others know is that these

251
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: atrocities have been foreshadowed. They have been allowed to manifest

252
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: because of years of systemic indoctrination and oppression. I urge

253
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 1: you today, brothers and sisters, to know this history, study it,

254
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: seek it, because through it, though it may make you uncomfortable,

255
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: it will lead towards change. George Santayana said those who

256
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: can not remember the past or doomed to repeat it

257
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: and the revend. Dr Martin Luther King said that we

258
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: are not makers a history, were made by it. We

259
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: can not allow comfortability of revisionist history to disarm our

260
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: minds and weaken our convictions. A Confederate monument sits a

261
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 1: couple of blocks from here, praising the South dark past.

262
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: Our revision is history would tell us that it's there

263
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 1: to honor men fighting for states rights. But true history

264
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: would tell us that. In the cornerstone addressed Alexander Stephens

265
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: said that our states are built on the fact that

266
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: the negro is inferior, and slavery and subordination is his

267
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: normal and natural state. That's true history. This monument sits

268
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 1: a block from where the acts handle Saturday happened in Jacksonville,

269
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: a block from it. Reminding people in this city of

270
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: what's happened to them. True history would remind people that

271
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,000
Speaker 1: not only Confederate sympathy eisers butchered black people in the streets,

272
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 1: but police joined in too. Revisionist history is what allows

273
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: us to believe that systemic racism isn't real, or that

274
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 1: racism isn't of itself, is only isolated incidents, not instilled

275
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: by government back segregation, not instilled by a history of

276
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 1: bias and policing. Revisionist history is what allows people to say, yes,

277
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: these things happen, but that was the past. Can't we

278
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: just move on? Richard Ross said, let bygones be bygones

279
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: isn't a legitimate wish if we wish to call ourselves

280
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 1: a constitutional democracy. Protests like this one and peaceful protests

281
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 1: across the country are fighting for our constitution. They're fighting

282
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: for our democracy. So I plead that everyone out there

283
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 1: would get out and they would demonstrate they would do

284
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: it peacefully. And to those people who are trying to

285
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 1: detract from this movement, who are trying to add on

286
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: and instill hate and riots. We won't let you hijack

287
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 1: this moment. We won't let you do it. Fighting for inequality,

288
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: Fighting inequality that allows longer sentences on average for African

289
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: American men, Fighting inequality that allows black adolescence to be

290
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: eighteen times more likely to be charged as adults. Everybody

291
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: look around at the kids here, man, A Black adolescent

292
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 1: is eighteen times more likely to be charged and convicted

293
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: as an adult. That's what we're fighting today. We're fighting

294
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 1: in equality that would allow this league to marginalize and

295
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: to leave players in two thousand sixteen, when they stood

296
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 1: up and said that there was a problem. That's what

297
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: we're here to fight today. That's what you're all here for. Today.

298
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 1: Today we say no more. Today we see a name

299
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: that can't await change, the city that won't sit still

300
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 1: or be quiet. Today, I'm surrounded by brothers and sisters

301
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: of every color who rallied together to echo the cries

302
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,119
Speaker 1: of George Floyd, to echo the cries of Brianna Taylor,

303
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: to echo the cries of a Mod Aubrey and the

304
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: countless others like them. Today we're encouraged today, we're emboldened. Today,

305
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 1: we know that that change will come. Today. I'm surrounded

306
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: by you, and I pray for you that you would

307
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 1: abound in love and knowledge and deep insight. Like Philippians

308
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: one nine says, this is a marathon and not a sprint.

309
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: Every woman and child and man can sustain this for

310
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: more than just a moment and make sure that this

311
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: is a movement right now. I challenge all of you

312
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: to learn this history, to learn our country's true history,

313
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: not so that it makes you comfortable, but so that

314
00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,399
Speaker 1: you can be empowered to go out and make true change,

315
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,640
Speaker 1: So that you can go out and, as they say,

316
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,239
Speaker 1: you can beat him at the ballot, so that you

317
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: can weaponize the voters in this city to get people

318
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,120
Speaker 1: who will truly represent each and every one of us.

319
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: Voters can do this right now. Movements like this can

320
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: do this right now. I want to say thank you.

321
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: I want to say thank you to my black brothers

322
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,120
Speaker 1: and sisters who are out here. I want to say

323
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: thank you to my white brothers and sisters who are

324
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: out here. I want to say thank you to every

325
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: single child who is out here, younger person who is

326
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: out here. Because you're seeing an example of what the

327
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 1: future can be. You're seeing an example of a future

328
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,200
Speaker 1: that's fighting for you. For you right now, I'm fighting

329
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,280
Speaker 1: for you. When I saw that video, I saw you.

330
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: I saw you, I saw you. Thank you to all

331
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 1: of you. This is only the beginning. Don't let people

332
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: roll you up. Don't let people tell you that you're

333
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: not worth it. When they say black lives matter, there

334
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: same black lives matter because they're hurt. Right now, we're

335
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: not saying the matter more and everyone here, I hope

336
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 1: everyone here knows that. But let's show it. This is

337
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 1: only the beginning here in Jacksonville. Let's make sure that

338
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: we maintain this momentum so it's not a movement, and

339
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: this is a movement. Thank you from J s O.

340
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: The crowd then marched the same route back to t

341
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: I A a bank field and finished the rally with

342
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: a message of unity from head coach Doug Barron. I

343
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: also want to thank the officers that helped and assist

344
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: at us today, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and making it

345
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: a safe walk for all of us. I also want

346
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 1: to point out, you know, for the people that joined us. Now.

347
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 1: As I was walking back, gentleman comes up to me

348
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: and I didn't recognize him. I didn't know where he's from,

349
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,760
Speaker 1: but he said he was able to see it on TV.

350
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: He felt that it was important to him. He asked

351
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: me from my shirt because he wanted to be part

352
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: of it. And the whip is around here, somewhere right here,

353
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:13,359
Speaker 1: so he's part of it. And gave him my shirt.

354
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: And I think that shows how important it is. You know,

355
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,640
Speaker 1: just during this week, we've had a lot of discussions,

356
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, as far as with our football team and

357
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 1: team meetings, you know, with players and coaches. You know,

358
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: these meetings weren't about football. You know, this was something

359
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: much bigger, you know, the problem that we have going around,

360
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,919
Speaker 1: the problem we're dealing with, the social injustice to the

361
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,719
Speaker 1: black people in this country and face and what we

362
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 1: can do to help. The one thing I realized early

363
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: with my goal in these meetings, you know, has been

364
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: to learn, listen, and to get a better understanding of

365
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: the events that are happening. I told the players, as

366
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: a white male in this country, I will never understand

367
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 1: what it's like to be black, or in a racial

368
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: or raise black children. But I will push myself every

369
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 1: day to learn and to become more well informed. And

370
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: I thank the players for helping me watching the murder

371
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: of Mr Floyd create a lot of anger, frustration, and sadness.

372
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: Wednesday night, I was able to take part in a

373
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: demonstration in San Marco, but it also gave my wife, Helen,

374
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: and I an opportunity to sit down with our children

375
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: and talk to them and discuss it. And they felt

376
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: strongly enough to go out and express themselves during that demonstration,

377
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 1: and I couldn't be more proud of them as a parent.

378
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: And I was happy to see the Jacks to build

379
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: community and adversity with over three thousand people strong in it.

380
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: We have a lot left to do. There's a lot

381
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: going on right now, and I think Chris said it best.

382
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 1: You'll hear things like this is a moment, and I

383
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: know that I've heard message you like that before where

384
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: we have to seize the moment. But this is a movement.

385
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: This is something that we are working on as a

386
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: team with our players to make sure that we can sustain.

387
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: We understand that during the season there will be a

388
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: focus on football. We understand that we will be tired,

389
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: our bodies will be beat up, but we also realize

390
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 1: and recognize the importance of making sure that we can

391
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: sustain our message as a whole. Now, we're not looking

392
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: anywhere else from except from within and when we talk

393
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: about to the people here, whether it's our front office,

394
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: up top, our owners. Shot Com has given us a

395
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: great platform that we can all be heard. We need

396
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that. I've talked to this building

397
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: many times. You know, there's a lot of separation that

398
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,679
Speaker 1: goes on even within these walls that we need to

399
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:22,439
Speaker 1: come together. We need to have the same ideas. We

400
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 1: need to throw things out there, we need to understand

401
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: each other, and we need to have a voice that

402
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 1: will make sustainable, dramatic change. I appreciate everyone being here today.

403
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: Chris said it best. Okay, this is this is a marathon,

404
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: not a sprint. We've got to keep fighting. We can't

405
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 1: let people distract us, take us away, different ideas, different opinions.

406
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: We've got to maintain our focus and stay on course.

407
00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot that we are working on that we

408
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: feel that we can make a difference. Those will become

409
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: an out in our conversations with the players first, the coaches, obviously,

410
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: with ownership and the rest of our organization. I can't

411
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 1: tell you what this means to me again, I say

412
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 1: it again. If you are a white person, I challenge

413
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: you please, if you think you understand, take a step back, listen, learn,

414
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: Let's not make the same mistakes we've made. We need

415
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: to stand together, white and black to make this a

416
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: movement work again. I appreciate everyone's time, Thank you for

417
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: coming out. This is only the beginning. We have a

418
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:46,959
Speaker 1: long fight. That fight may last after the season, beyond

419
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: years to our next generations. But we as competitors, no,

420
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: we have to take the competitiveness that we have as players,

421
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: the competitiveness that I've seen in these great young men

422
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: that we have, both black and white, and we need

423
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: to take that competitiveness and put it into one and

424
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: of all the things that we need to do, that's

425
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: the damn battle we need to win, the battle against racism.

426
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Full coverage available on the Jaguars
