As NBA and WNBA players continue to work tirelessly to both resume their seasons and continue acting alongside #BlackLivesMatter against systemic racism and police brutality, writing about basketball seems like an increasingly trivial activity.
To help these players make the most of their efforts to utilize their platforms to fight against racial and social injustice, I will be donating $10 dollars to an organization or fund with similar ambitions every time I post for The Bird Writes through the end of the season. Today, I will be donating to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, which works to achieve racial justice through public education, litigation and advocacy.
