So then help those athletes attain that level of wisdom. Unfunded mandates like "you should speak up" don't make sense considering the steps that it took for Magic to get to where he's at consciously.
As with many things in life, we don't learn at the same speed. For some, they've been aware of the significance of the civil rights movement all their life. For others, it takes a real nikka wake up moment. Either way, Magic and others of his generation, should use this as a TEACHING moment. Keep comments that are directed toward athletes at a minimum because they come off as if you're antagonizing them. Direct your call to action to YOUNGER generations who don't think its acceptable to voice their opinions in public.
Because let's be real, lets get really really real here, if black high school/college athletes were actually allowed to express their social opinions, you would never see another post game or pre game interview again.
, you want your kids to get a nikka wake up call that late in the game?
