It Has Never Been Just About Sports

And they say athletes should just keep to sports. This is how influence can make universal impact. This is how media helps continue to share these stories for their own audiences. These stories deserve global conversation b/c the history of systemic racism+brutality is universal. https://t.co/Cf9VTOH8c0

#StrikeForBlackLives

I commend the players on the @Bucks for standing up for what they believe in, coaches like @DocRivers, and the @NBA and @WNBA for setting an example. It’s going to take all our institutions to stand up for our values. pic.twitter.com/rUGETgAt7P

NBA players are courageously on strike (withholding labor), NOT boycotting (withholding their $ /purchase). The diff is important bc it shows their power as *workers.*

The courage this takes is profound. WNBA organizing in this moment MUST be recognized too. #StrikeForBlackLives https://t.co/QfsJAHLVLx

Today’s boycotts, anniversary of Kaepernick’s protest and it all hovering around the 15th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is just some really, really, really heavy perspective. Injustice takes on so many forms with so many Black women and men fighting to tackle America’s sins.

On August 26, 2020, games and matches in four leagues were boycotted or postponed.

If 2019 was the summer @CocoGauff let her racket do the talking, then 2020 has emerged to be the summer where the young star found her voice off the court.
