Avalanche Captain Gabriel Landeskog Speaks Out About George Floyd’s Death
Some athletes are speaking out about the death of George Floyd, a black man who died while in the custody of the Minneapolis police, including our own NHL Avalanche Captain.
Instagram was taken by storm last Tuesday (June 2) for #BlackoutTuesday, and while many posted a black photo to express their solidarity with the protests across the country, others waited and posted their own statements about the situation.
Gabriel Landeskog posted the following on Instagram regarding George Floyd's death.
