“I don't really believe in people diving,” Hill said. “I don't believe in that sort of thing. I believe in bringing people together because that's what I do in life. I do football camps all over the world, trying to bring different people together…because we all have the same destiny. We're on this earth together. We have to live together.”
“So when I say, 'Let's make a change,' let's do it together. So Miami Police Department, and all the cops around the world, one cop doesn't make the whole group look bad. Everybody has bad guys. Every team has bad guys. My job is to use my platform and my resources to align with the different police departments.”
“We've tried everything. We've protested. We've taken a knee. So what's next? My wife and I are trying to figure out how we can be part of this change. It's important to us. We want to change people's lives, not just in Miami, but all over the world.”
