The Orlando Magic arrived Tuesday at Walt Disney World to enter the NBA bubble with some players wearing T-shirts to promote their recently unveiled “Get off the bench and in the game” voting awareness campaign.
Magic CEO Alex Martins said the shirts were made as a way for players to further promote the campaign. Interest from outside the organization grew quickly and the Magic found out just how much people wanted to join in, Martins said.
“Honestly when we developed the shirts, it was really about the awareness campaign, and our players’ and our team’s desire to get out the message that it’s important for everybody to vote and to exercise their right to vote,” Martins said Wednesday during a videoconference with reporters.
