GREENBURGH, N.Y. — Knicks president Phil Jackson plans to meet with his players and try to get a team-wide agreement on what they want to do regarding public protests during the national anthem.
“We want to do something that’s unified and representative of who we are,” Jackson said Friday. “We want to be respectful in its own way to our citizens and people around, our family.”
The NBA and the NBA Players Association have begun working together in an effort to “create positive change” amid the violent acts throughout the country that have resulted in protests in other professional leagues.
