On Sunday, as part of the NFL’s “My Cause My Cleats” initiative, several Commanders will advocate for an issue that's personal to them: ending gun violence.
“It was tough,” Sweat, a defensive end for the Commanders, said Wednesday. “It was real tough. When you lose somebody like that, who you know genuinely cares for you — because there’s not a lot of people out here you can actually say has true love for you — but my brother, my mother, people like that, I can honestly say do. It’s like you lost a trusted soldier.”
He added: “It affects a whole community, a plethora of people. That’s my main objective is just to [encourage people] to settle our differences without guns.” “Gun violence overall is hurting us everywhere, in all cities: back home [in Tuscaloosa, Ala.], up here,” Robinson said. “Almost really, really hurt me — well, it did hurt me. It’s a little more personal when it comes down to me wearing it because I’m a victim.”Harris said he joined the cause because of Robinson and the four relatives he has lost to gun violence in the past five years.
