As @jonahweiland knows, I was skeptical if not outright cynical about the return of sports.

But the NBA has done it right, not only saying the right words but consistently following through at every level.

The players are using this platform to fight for the greater good.
I’m also absolutely in love with the @Raptors have never relented, as a team and as individual players, in fighting to make people understand #blacklivesmatter .

They are an absolute shining example of using your corporate power to further positive social change. https://twitter.com/Raptors/status/1298694851823837185
“You can’t be something till you see it.”

Representation matters.

Using your voice matters.

As Webber asks, if not now - then when will the change come? https://twitter.com/bubbaprog/status/1298755867836321794

Listen to every word. Proud of the @Bucks players. https://twitter.com/malika_andrews/status/1298763459165904898
Meanwhile, the NHL continues to embrace the belief that somehow one can be neutral or non-political.

The league of Maurice Richard is afraid of politics in sports? C’mon. https://twitter.com/helenenothelen/status/1298766640155262976
Just remember that tonight the NHL will enforce five minutes for fighting, two minutes for hooking and less than a minute to talk about the systemic racism that leads to so much senseless death.

Reflection ain’t the action that’s needed. https://twitter.com/BradyTrett/status/1298774601401380865
Powerful words from Dom.

We are defined by what we do.

And when don’t step up, when we don’t put anything on the line and we hide behind words...that’s the action that defines us. https://twitter.com/snytv/status/1298824101541359616
