‘We stand for more than just sports’: White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson reflects on the reactions the past week to the death of George Floyd

So the White Sox shortstop visited spots in the city and shared photos Sunday on his Instagram account. It was a chance to reflect and respond after the death of George Floyd on May 25 in Minneapolis.

“At the end of the day, we stand for more than just sports,” Anderson said during a conference call Monday. “If you remove the sports, as you can see now, then what are we? We’re human beings. We stand for more than our job title.”

“Just to see the things that are going on and how the world is reacting, I think there are a lot of angry people out there who feel like they are going unheard,” Anderson said.
