Did you happen to catch the press conference by the players? Sure, these guys don’t speak for everyone. But this point was specifically mentioned.
Reeves: “I think if you look around this room, there are a lot of white athletes in here, and I think that’s the point being made.”
“For all these athletes in here to take a stand and say ‘we see the problem too’, and we stand behind you”. “I couldn’t be more proud”.
