Russell Wilson joined ESPN this week to share his own experiences with racism. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback focused on the Black Lives Matter protests during his interview. “When you think about the idea of Black Lives Matter, they do matter,” Russell said. “The reality is that, me as a Black person, people are getting murdered on the street, people are getting shot down, and the understanding that it’s not like that for every other race.

It’s like that in particular for the Black community. I think about my stepson, I think about my daughter, I think about our new baby boy on the way, and it’s staggering to watch these things happen right in front of our faces, so I have a heavy heart right now.” Wilson and Ciara have two children
