Warriors head coach Steve Kerr spoke out against police violence and in support of Colin Kaepernick’s ongoing protest in a conference with reporters on Wednesday.
49ers quarterback Kaepernick has chosen to kneel during the national anthem in protest of racial injustice and police killings, and sparked a movement across the NFL that has begun to spread into other sports.
Kerr discussed the matter and praised Kaepernick’s decision, taking a strong stance in wake of the recent police shootings that killed Terence Crutcher, an unarmed black man, in Tulsa, Okla.
“...probably one of the best things that’s come out of the Kaepernick issue is that people are talking, and that’s a good thing,” Kerr said, according to Anthony Slater of the San Jose Mercury News.
