Lebron James and Colin Kapernick, along with a handful of other professional athletes can usually be counted on to speak out on issues of social justice and reform.

But this time around, coaches from all levels, players from all levels, your neighbor, their son, maybe even fathers, brothers and cousins, have, one way or another, spoken out about the recent death of 46-year old father George Floyd, including many in the high school basketball community.

Their platforms are typically utilized to announce offers, commitments or upcoming visits, but recently, it’s been all about the current state of affairs in the country.
