Von Miller and Giannis Antetokounmpo led groups of Broncos and Bucks players in Denver and Milwaukee.
In Milwaukee, a group of Bucks players turned out for the protest in T-shirts that bore some of Floyd’s last words, “I can’t breathe.” Sterling Brown, Donte DiVincenzo, Brook Lopez, Frank Mason III, Giannis Antetokounmpo and his brother Thanasis joined the crowd.. “That’s what we’re going to do today. That’s why I’m going to march with you. I want my kid to grow up here in Milwaukee and not be scared to walk in the streets. I don’t want my kid to have hate in his heart.
“Last Saturday, we said we are committed to doing our part and we mean it,” the team said in a statement Saturday. “CPI has been a long-term partner but, upon reflection, we feel that it is right to end our relationship.” The issue with CPI arose when Jorge Millares, leader of the Queen City Unity organization, said he sent a mass email calling for action after Floyd’s death. He“Please spend your time in a more productive way,” Gill wrote in an email that Millares posted on Facebook. “A better use of time, would be to focus on the black on black crime and senseless killing of our young men by other young men.”
