Following the death of George Floyd, many athletes and organizations around the globe have spoken out against racial injustice and police brutality.
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich released a powerful video on Saturday discussing the issues and even admitted he’s quite embarrassed to be a white person in today’s society.
“It’s like the neighborhood where you know there’s a dangerous corner, and you know that something’s going to happen someday, and nobody does anything,” Popovich said in a video released by the Spurs. “And then a young kid gets killed and a stop sign goes up.
“Well, without getting too political, we’ve got a lot of stop signs that need to go up — quickly — because our country is in trouble. And the basic reason is race.”
