The NBA gets it. The NFL?
At tonight's game featuring the Sacramento Kings vs. the Boston Celtics, a PSA was aired featuring players from both teams decrying the recent killing of an unarmed black man by Sacramento Police officers. Notable quote, from Celtics forward, Al Horford, "We will not shut up and dribble." Apparently, the NBA has no problem with its players using their fame to speak out on the issues.
