Some of my grandkids thought it was pretty funny to play up those names; I couldn't watch that."such as"Justice,""Equality,""Black Lives Matter,""Say Their Names,""Vote,""Peace" and others on the back of their jerseys instead of their names during the bubble in 2020 as a show of support for fighting racial injustice in the United States.
