Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski delivered a strong message of support for the Black Lives Matter movement on Friday, and called on Americans everywhere to finally stand up and fix systemic racism in the country.
Krzyzewski, in a lengthy video posted to the team’s official Twitter account on Friday, addressed fans directly, calling them out for ignoring racism for four centuries.
He started the video insisting that the Black Lives Matter movement — something countless prominent figures in the sports world have supported and helped push forward in recent weeks — isn’t a political stance, something some try to make it into.
