Following the aftermath of the Kyle Rittenhouse ruling in Kenosha, Wisconsin, National Basketball Social Justice Coalition Executive Director James Cadogan released a statement:
“Our thoughts are with the families of those whose lives were taken in this tragedy. The right to peacefully protest is a bedrock of our democracy and the National Basketball Social Justice Coalition remains committed to preserving that right for all. Any forms of vigilantism in our society are unacceptable.”
Rittenhouse shot two people in a counter-protest following the arrest of Kenosha man Jacob Blake.
In the aftermath of Blake’s arrest, the Milwaukee Bucks led a league-wide protest during the NBA Playoffs taking place at Disney’s Wide World of Sports in Orlando.
