There is an abundance of players to speak out on the recent events stemming from George Floyd's death in police custody and Ryan Tannehill of the Tennessee Titans is one of the latest. In a post to his Instagram, Tannehill issued a strong statement on the Black Lives Matter movement.

As Tannehill points out, it is vital that everyone admits there are racial issues that need addressing. While standing in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, Tannehill believes everyone should be treated equally. However, it's evident that those values aren't being held truthfully in today's society.

Rather than it being an individual issue, Ryan Tannehill understands that it is a systemic issue. Therefore, the Titans quarterback is calling for changes to be made to the very systems these issues arise from.

Earlier this offseason, Tannehill re-signed with the Titans following a stellar debut season with the team in 2019. Entering his second year in Tennessee, the veteran signal-caller is using his voice in the community in hopes it can incite change.

Besides Tannehill, other white quarterbacks in the NFL have spoken out against the racial injustices occurring today. At the same time, guys like Matt Ryan have advised others to listen and educate themselves. In doing so, everyone can begin to understand the experiences of those that need their voices to be heard.

There have been plenty of people to combat the Black Lives Matter movement by saying All Lives Matter. But as Tannehill alludes to, all lives will not matter until black lives matter.
