Summary

It’s hard to put into words what we are experiencing in the world right now. The death of George Floyd and the subsequent rallies and protests have sparked a movement many in our generation have never seen. While some might think we don’t need to go down this path, we feel silence isn’t the way to go either. It’s a conversation that is happening in every facet of our lives and this sport is no exception, especially as you watch many athletes coming forward with their own stories. We chat with Dawgs Academy products LaRon Smith (Spruce Grove) and Jose Nunez (Chestermere) about their own experiences with racism and what the current world's events mean to them.
