As sports, politics and human rights issues become more intertwined this year, the focus has shifted to how athletes and coaches are using their voices to advocate for change on their social media platforms.
At Marquette, coaches across different sports have gotten involved by marching with athletes and staff in the recent march across campus. Many have also stepped up to help their athletes become more educated about social issues.
“You can’t completely shed the emotional element, but I want any opinions they have to be coming from a thoughtful space,” men’s basketball head coach Steve Wojciechowski said.
