  Memphis football coach Ryan Silverfield sent out a tweet earlier in June that appeared to support the Black Lives Matter movement. Now he's taking it a step further. Silverfield announced Tuesday on Twitter that every Memphis helmet will have a "BLM", short for Black Lives Matter, sticker for every game. The circle will be gray with BLM in blue lettering, with the M being the Tigers logo. It's the same logo Silverfield tweeted out two weeks ago. Silverfield added a hashtag of #ALLINagainstRACIALINJUSTICE in Tuesday's tweet. The news was retweeted by several players, including senior defensive back TJ Carter, defensive tackle O'Bryan Goodson and wide receiver Calvin Austin III.

The Tigers football team, currently in the middle of voluntary workouts, helped lead a Unity Walk earlier this month from their practice field at University of Memphis' south campus to main campus to protest against racial injustice. At one point, Silverfield chanted "Black Lives Matter" along with his players. The announcement is the latest sign of the football team sending messages against injustice. It also shared a video on the football team account earlier this year where Silverfield, running backs coach Anthony Jones Jr. and players vowed to take a stand together against systemic racism. - Memphis Commercial Appeal
