Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho, who scored the first hat-trick of his career, joined a chorus of outrage over the death of a black man in Minneapolis. He along with teammate Achraf Hakimi wore shirts with the message "Justice for George Floyd" in a Bundesliga match on Sunday. England forward Sancho, who helped Dortmund's 6-1 rout of Paderborn, and the Spanish-born Hakimi who plays international soccer for Morocco, took off their team shirts to display the message. US defender Weston McKennie displayed a "Justice for George" message on his armband in Saturday's 1-0 home defeat by Werder Bremen. Athletes have been fuming after a Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was charged on Friday with murder in the death of unarmed 46-year-old Floyd.
