guard Jrue Holiday took part in the Playbook Initiative launch event in partnership with New Balance last weekend.
The program was inspired by members of the 2016-17 Celtics roster and focuses on “anti-discrimination and bias-prevention.” It focuses on the creation of a “social playbook” that provokes “a dialogue on race, religion, gender, disability, and sexual orientation and ultimately equips kids with the tools to intervene in challenging social situations.”
“I think if you’re in that position and you have the heart for it, you’re comfortable with it. It’s always good to put yourself out there and put out what you believe in,” Holiday said.
