Georgetown's men's basketball players sported "I Can't Breathe" T-shirts as they warmed up for their game against No. 10 Kansas this evening. 

The T-shirts are meant to pay homage to Eric Garner, an African American male who died in Staten Island, New York, on July 17 while being held in a chokehold by a New York Police Department officer. The act was caught on video camera, but on Dec. 3, a grand jury decided not to indict the officer. 

Numerous NBA players have worn the T-shirt while warming up for their games in recent days, including LeBron James, Kobe Bryant and Derrick Rose.
