Weston Stood For His Community

He has been successful enough now and has to face less racism, but he still is totally against the fact that the country is still backward regarding racism.
American policeman killed a black man just because of his color.
Many other police officers supposed to protect the citizens are harassing people, beating them, and attacking them just because they are black.
People had seen enough of it, and so did Weston. So he and other football players stood against those injustices and said it was enough.
