Both Michael Jordan and Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive have released statements condemning Donald Trump’s recent comments against the protests currently spreading through the NFL in which players and personnel kneel during the national anthem.“One of the fundamental rights this country is founded on was freedom of speech, and we have a long tradition of nonviolent, peaceful protest,” Jordan wrote in a statement, according to Rick Bonnell of The Charlotte Observer. “Those who exercise the right to peacefully express themselves should not be demonized or ostracized. At a time of increasing divisiveness and hate in this country, we should be looking for ways to work together and support each other and not create more division.” Visit www.thegrio.com for full article.
