NFL Star Saquon Barkley’s 2020 Tweet On Racism & Injustice Resurfaces Amid Trump Golf Outing Backlash

Saquon Barkley’s own words from 2020 are back in the spotlight amid backlash.

A tweet from Barkley during the height of the 2020 protests has resurfaced:

“The protests are amazing and Inspiring. But please in 2 or 3 weeks when the protest are no longer happening. We still need change, we need to come together as a community and we need action! Racism and injustice can not exist!”

That post came during nationwide protests sparked by the killing of George Floyd and others, fueling a global outcry against police brutality and systemic racism.

Now, social media users are comparing that sentiment to Philadelphia Eagles player Barkley’s recent defense of his White House visit and golf outing with Donald Trump – the key figure behind anti-DEI policies and widely accused of pushing racist rhetoric.
