For those of you who are sports junkies and don't really follow the news, the shooting of central Florida teenager Trayvon Martin has caught the attention of most of the U.S and arguably the world. Martin was shot...and killed, by a Sanford, Florida Neighborhood Watch captain who thought Martin was something he wasn't because he was wearing a hooded sweatshirt and was black.
Martin was carrying a soda and a bag of Skittles at the time.
Thus far, the incident has drawn national attention, mostly for what hasn't happened. The shooter, George Zimmerman, hasn't been charged with anything, despite there appearing to be overwhelming evidence that he should. The Sanford Police department has taken tons of heat and been the target of rally's because the appearance of nothing being done.
This afternoon, LeBron James and his Miami Heat teammates posed for a picture wearing their hoodies. The reason was simple: A show of solidarity for the Martin's.
The gesture we are guessing will be replicated by many, and it should. You can consider this our way of repeating the statement.
