\n Football talk took a back seat this week, as new head coach Joe Judge on Friday used his virtual team meeting with the Giants to discuss the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis and the ensuing protests around the nation railing against racial inequality and police brutality against African Americans.<\/p>\n

The meeting did not only include Judge and his players. Co-owners John Mara and Steve Tisch participated, The Post has learned, for the purpose of listening and understanding the issues being discussed, and the thoughts and emotions of those logging into the meeting remotely from all over the country.<\/p>\n

This was not the first time Judge and his players talked about these issues. Judge had discussions with players all week and called a meeting Friday to specifically share his thoughts and hear what his players are thinking and feeling. Mara and Tisch listened in.<\/p>\n

Having ownership involved is crucial, given the events of the past few years, when Colin Kaepernick was effectively blackballed from the NFL after he took a knee before game<\/a>s, during the national anthem, to protest racial inequality and police brutality against black people.<\/p>\n

The Giants, in a statement issued last week, said, \u201cGeorge Floyd\u2019s senseless death is the type of tragedy we have seen too often for far too long. Over the past week, our players and coaches have talked about the hurt, the pain, the frustration and the anger.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The statement went on to say, \u201cWe continue to talk about what we can do to help unite and heal and, more importantly, create real opportunity and meaningful change. We have a responsibility as citizens to work in a constructive way. What we do to make a difference is what is most important. We have the ability to advocate for social<\/a> justice and sustained change.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, died last Monday as the result of Derek Chauvin, a Minneapolis police officer, kneeling on his neck for more than eight minutes. Chauvin was eventually charged with second-degree murder, and three other officers were charged with aiding and abetting the murder of Floyd.<\/p>\n

Giants players have not been silent amid the protests. Saquon Barkley and Sterling Shepard were part of a group of NFL players who created and posted a powerful video on Thursday, demanding action by the NFL. A day later, commissioner Roger Goodell, in a response video, admitted, \u201cwe were wrong for not listening to the NFL players earlier.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Barkley last week posted a photoshopped picture of himself on Instagram wearing a football jersey that read, \u201cI can\u2019t breathe,\u2019\u2019 a reminder of what Floyd said over and over as he was dying. Wednesday, Barkley took to Twitter to post \u201cThe protests are amazing and Inspiring. But please in 2 or 3 weeks when the protest are no longer happ<\/a>ening. We still need change, we need to come together as a community and we need action! Racism and injustice cannot exist!\u201d<\/p>\n

Former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, a Pro Football Hall of Fame member, in a video last week, expressed his sadness for the deaths of Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t get it. I don\u2019t understand it,\u201d Strahan said. \u201cMad as hell about it. Because we continue to have these same conversations, and at the end of the day, there seems to be no resolution. No justice. No finish. I think that\u2019s the frustrating thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very hard as a black man that the color of your skin makes people scared of you.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
