As society has seen a rise in vocal racism around the United States over the past year, Stan Van Gundy has been among the NBA coaches to speak out against that racism. This morning he published on Time magazine an eloquent support of athletes who are protesting for equality in the criminal justice system.
In a time where bigotry seems on the rise and commitment to racial equality on the decline, I have an obligation as a citizen to speak out and to support, in any way possible, those brave and patriotic athletes who are working to bring change to our country.
