"We are deeply hurt, saddened and angered by the continued actions of racism and injustice in our world. In the midst of the aftermath since the death of George Floyd, we hear the pain and anguish of our friends, brothers and sisters throughout the sports world and our community. Cardinal Athletics stands together in our Guiding Principles of respect, integrity, honest communication, collaboration and compassion in order to fight the systemic racial divide that has caused so much hatred and injustice in our country. Together we unite for change and justice."
