#226 - NBA players stop sports to protest social injustice, Duke holds protest

from Duke Basketball Roundup · host Duke Basketball Roundup

We look back at the historic day in sports that was August 26, 2020, when the NBA players refused to play their playoffs games to protest the shooting of Jacob Blake and injustice against Black people in this country. Many of the other sports leagues soon followed by postponing their games. We get into a discussion over whether the NBA players have a bigger platform if they play out the rest of the playoffs or decide to go home. After the break, Duke Basketball held a protest rally in K-Ville on Thursday, and we discuss what we saw from that rally. The words of freshman Henry Coleman III were the most poignant, and those are the words we choose to lead this episode with. Learn more about your ad choices.
