Raiders WR Zay Jones Shares Uplifting Encounter With Elderly White Woman Amid Rampant Protests (TWEETS)

Raider wide receiver Zay Jones just gave us a heartwarming moment amid all the things we’ve collectively had to deal with in 2020.

The latest being the tragic murder of George Floyd at the hands of police that has led to backlash from citizens in their selected city as they protest and march up and down to have their voices heard.

Jones, entering his second year with the Las Vegas Raiders, took to Twitter and talked about an encounter he had at a local Home Goods store getting furniture for his place when he was approached by an elderly white woman.

She told him she was from Minneapolis and that Jones mattered to her.

i was just at a local home goods store w/ my cousin getting furniture for my place when an elderly white woman approached me at the check out counter. she looked at me w/ tears in her eyes… & then said “i’m from Minneapolis & I just want you to know “you matter to me.”
