George Floyd’s brother thanks Raiders for tweet that sparked backlash
NY Post
George Floyd’s younger brother Philonise thanked and defended the Las Vegas Raiders after an online pitchfork mob ridiculed the NFL team for an awkward tweet intended to celebrate Tuesday’s conviction of Derek Chauvin for Floyd’s murder last May.
Shortly after Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer, was convicted on murder and manslaughter charges in the death of Floyd, the Raiders tweeted, on their official account, “I CAN BREATHE 4-20-21.” The tweet was supposed to honor the 46-year-old Floyd, whose final words, “I can’t breathe,” became a national rally cry during the country’s reckoning on racism that followed Floyd’s murder.
