A telling new study comes as college kids increasingly get…

\n The Detroit Lions canceled practice on Tuesday to protest the police shooting of Jacob Blake, proclaiming, \u201cWe can\u2019t be silent.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NFL squad made the announcement outside the team\u2019s training facility in Allen Park, Michigan, gathering as a team and denouncing the Sunday shooting that left the 29-year-old victim partially paralyzed, ESPN reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a team, we looked each other in the eyes and realized that football isn\u2019t important today,\u201d said Lions safety Duron Harmon, who is black. \u201cWe have a platform that we are able to use not just to raise awareness but to create change.\u201d<\/p>\n

The team also posted photos on Twitter showing the team gathered around a whiteboard that read \u201cThe World Can\u2019t Go On\u201d and another reading \u201cWe Won\u2019t Be Silent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had some really real conversations as a team,\u201d said offensive tackle Taylor Decker, who is white. \u201cI\u2019m fortunate to be in a locker room with white, black, brown, different socioeconomic backgrounds, guys from all over the country and they are guys that I care about.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to hear the pain and fear from people that I care about, people that I love, are going through,\u201d Decker continued. \u201cI know it\u2019s not my reality, but they shouldn\u2019t have to go through that. They shouldn\u2019t have to have that fear.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBA players are weighing a boycott of game<\/a>s over Blake\u2019s shooting, Yahoo Sports reported Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Lakers star LeBron James has also spoken out against the shooting, calling it \u201cf\u2014ed up\u201d that black Americans must live in fear of police.<\/p>\n

Blake was shot at least seven times by a white police officer in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday. Witnesses and relatives said Blake\u2019s three children were in his SUV when he opened the door to the vehicle and was shot in the back.<\/p>\n

He was rushed to a local hospital and underwent surgery \u2014 but his father told reporters Tuesday that he is paralyzed from the waist down, and doctors have not determined if the injuries are permanent.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
