Most NFL players do touchdown celebrations like the Nae Nae or Shmoney Dance but Maurice Jones-Drew decided to make a statement. “Hands Up, Don’t Shoot” is the recurring theme for protesters in Ferguson, MO who are fighting for justice for Michael Brown, the unarmed teen who was killed by police officer Darren Wilson.
In the first quarter of the Raiders preseason game against the Green Bay Packers Friday night, Raiders Maurice Jones-Drew had a nifty move to break free for a 40-yard touchdown run. He then dropped the ball, raised both hands and bowed his head, repeating the move protesters across the country have done in support of Brown who allegedly surrendered before he was gunned down.
