Transcript

00:00 I'm Jill Painter Lopez for Sports Illustrated and LeBron James today made a post about Ahmaud

00:06 Arbery.

00:07 He was the young black man, 25 years old from Georgia, who in February was gunned down and

00:13 killed by two white men.

00:15 He was on a jog and he was unarmed.

00:17 Now the two white men, according to reports, initially said that they were trying to make

00:22 a citizen's arrest for what they thought was an attempted burglary.

00:26 Now we're here in May.

00:28 No arrests have been made in the case.

00:29 There was a protest outside of a Georgia county courthouse today.

00:34 And again, many athletes have posted about Ahmaud Arbery and wanting justice for him.

00:39 LeBron's post was about saying, "Rest in peace, Ahmaud."

00:43 And he said, "We can't even leave the comfort of our homes to go on a damn jog."

00:48 And he used the hashtag "profiled" because we are simply black.
