UK Releases Statement in Support of Black Student Athletes at Kentucky

The University of Kentucky released a statement Tuesday to show support for their student-athletes, especially their black student-athletes.

In the statement, UK is calling on the Big Blue Nation to come together and support.

UK released the following statement.

“Our student-athletes inspire. They uplift. They lead. Even in the midst of a time of great pain, especially for our black student-athletes, they are doing it again. Faced with yet more reminders of the presence of racism and bigotry in this country after the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and too many others, they are speaking out. They will not do this alone.

“We call on the Big Blue Nation to join us; listen, hear, empathize, act. Support our black student-athletes, just as you do when they represent us in competition.”
