NBA, gli allenatori: "La violenza della polizia è inumana". E istituiscono un comitato
L’associazione degli allenatori ha diramato un comunicato condannando la violenza della polizia, la profilazione razziale e l’utilizzo del razzismo, definendoli “vergognosi, inumani e intollerabili”. Per cercare soluzioni nelle città NBA, l’associazione ha istituito una commissione: ecco chi ne fa parte

Da sempre gli allenatori NBA sono abituati a parlare tanto, praticamente ogni giorno durante la stagione. E per questo spesso sono i volti delle proprie franchigie, senza nascondersi anche da temi sociali e politici come fatto spesso negli ultimi anni da coach come Gregg Popovich, Steve Kerr e David Fizdale

Per questo l’associazione degli allenatori NBA, la NBCA, dopo una conference call con tutti i membri ha diramato un comunicato molto duro su quanto sta succedendo negli Stati Uniti: “Come allenatori guidiamo un gruppo di uomini, la maggior parte dei quali afro-americani, e vediamo, sentiamo e condividiamo i loro sentimenti disgusto, frustrazione, impotenza e rabbia”

“Gli eventi delle ultime settimane — la violenza della polizia, la profilazione razziale e l’uso del razzismo — sono vergognosi, inumani e intollerabili. Come gruppo diversificato di leader, abbiamo la responsabilità di farci valere e parlare per chi non ha voce — e per quelli che non si sentono al sicuro a farlo”

“Assistere all’omicidio a sangue freddo e in piena luce del giorno di George Floyd ha traumatizzato la nostra nazione, ma la realtà è che gli afro-americani sono presi di mira e perseguitati su base quotidiana. Come allenatori NBA, non possiamo trattare quello che è successo come un caso isolato di indignazione”

Abbiamo il potere e la piattaforma per farlo e la useremo”. Ecco chi fa parte del comitato istituito dai coach
