Ring of Honor released a statement in regards to the passing of George Floyd and the ongoing protests
“ROH stands with the peaceful protests occurring around the country that are forcing important conversations and action to address racism in this country. ROH supports a diverse, inclusive community that treats all people with the respect and dignity that they deserve, and we will use our platform to expose instances of racism and prejudice in all forms. We all extend our sincere condolences to the Floyd family and hope that as a country we can come together and ensure incidents like this never happen again.”
Independent Wrestler Faye Jackson questioned the motives behind ROH’s statement in a series of tweets, which you can see below.
And this is only a small thing of many things I went through
But this ain’t the platform. Im already exhausted from it and no I don’t want to go on your podcast to talk about it. I’ve BEEN tired https://t.co/gL0FPjkC3z

I’m sure I’m gonna be more blackballed after that statement but it had to be said. PTSD is real.

I remember the days of “Women of Honor” having locker room meetings but I was never invited.
The one time I invited myself I was met with stares and eye rolls.
Inclusive right? https://t.co/KNigSrqmPl
