“Antiquated laws and legislation needs to be amended or repealed, especially those that are prejudicially biased to people of color,” Rodgers said (h/t ESPN.com's Rob Demovsky).

Adams added: “Racism is taught and learned; it's not something you're born with. Let's do a better job of educating our youth and the younger people behind us.”

Over recent days, protesters have marched and gathered to call attention to police brutality and systemic racism. The demonstrations arose in the wake of George Floyd's killing.

Floyd was removed from his vehicle on May 25 while four Minneapolis police officers were investigating an alleged forgery in progress. A video showed an officer kneeling on Floyd's neck for almost nine minutes despite Floyd indicating he couldn't breathe. Floyd later died at a local hospital.

The four officers were fired from their jobs, and prosecutors initially charged Chauvin with third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced Wednesday he was upgrading Chauvin's charge to second-degree murder and charging the other three officers with aiding and abetting murder.
