SALT LAKE CITY — Before each game, Utah Jazz head coach Quin Snyder meets with media, and he has become known for wearing a variety of T-shirts at these gatherings, from Jazz to Salt Lake City Stars gear.
On Saturday night before Utah took on the Brooklyn Nets at Vivint Arena, Snyder, along with many others in both the Jazz and Nets organizations (including players), donned a shirt that carried a message of anti-racism in the wake of Monday's incident between Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook and a fan at the arena.
The grey shirt featured an image of black and white hands clasped together, and below the image was a quote from late activist Fred Hampton which says, "You don't fight racism, you find racism with solidarity.
