Ravens cancel morning practices, will have ‘team unifying session surrounding social justice reform’
The Baltimore Ravens continue to walk the walk when it comes to social justice. The Ravens have canceled their morning practices and will instead have a “team unifying session surrounding social justice reform.”
This comes just a day after Baltimore canceled their afternoon meetings and used the time to have a serious discussion about social justice reform. The Ravens released an impactful statement in the evening with specific calls to action, including demanding prison and police reform as well as calling for justice for Breonna Taylor and Jacob Blake.
The Ravens have been committed to this cause, especially this offseason. Earlier this offseason, Baltimore released a video of several players and team officials calling for social justice reform and backing “Black Lives Matter.” Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti donated $1 million to select Baltimore organizations fighting for social justice reform, picked by the players.
In such a condensed offseason due to the coronavirus pandemic, every practice is even more important than usual. The decision to cut one of those valuable practices in an effort to continue talking about social justice reform shows a continued commitment to the cause, something the players have been very passionate about.
