Brown added that athletes who speak out need to be articulate, informed and mindful that their words have staying power. For Rose, the era of athletes sticking to sports is over in part because President Donald Trump hasnt been shy about criticizing NBA and NFL players who disagree with him. If hes acknowledging NFL players who are kneeling and he says, They deserve to be fired, that now becomes a sports topic.

HOUSTON Kenny Stills is glad NFL commissioner Roger Goodell regrets the way he initially reacted when Colin Kaepernick and a handful of other players began kneeling during the national anthem to protest police brutality years ago. He can say whatever he wants to say now, Stills said Monday. Were reactive instead of proactive when it comes a lot of issues in our country and within the league as well," he said. So, yeah, I went there to bring more attention to this case and were hoping that something can happen soon. I saw that video this morning around 5:00 a.m. and I didnt know if I was going to come to work today, Stills said.

AUSTIN, Texas Actor Matthew McConaughey discussed race relations, prejudice and injustice in a lengthy interview with former Texas Longhorns and NFL star Emmanuel Acho. How can I do better as a white man? McConaughey asked Acho. You have to acknowledge that theres a problem, so that you can take more ownership for the problem, responded Acho. Theres certain just imported, obvious ways that we are prejudice that we dont even understand, said McConaughey. Acho said black women also receive similar back-handed compliments, which appear to be natural during a conversation.
