Statement On Behalf of Spider Athletics
There is no place on our campus, in our city, our state or our country for racism. The discrimination against the African American community must end now. The senseless death of George Floyd last week was another horrific reminder of the injustices that people of color experience in our society. Richmond Athletics is committed to being part of the change that stands up against racism as well as an active part of the solution that ends these tragic events.
Now is the time to end the systemic discrimination, brutality and violence towards the African American community. It MUST be changed for the good of humanity. We stand with the University of Richmond, NCAA, Atlantic 10, our Spider student-athletes, coaches, staff and supporters who are outraged and hurting in this time of pain. We see you, we hear you and we are with you.
