New York Knicks management supports its players expressing their opinion on social issues. But general manager Steve Mills hopes players can now move beyond the symbolic gestures of protest to work "together to make a difference."
"I've spoken to Carmelo [Anthony] a number of times about this issue and I think he's an example of guys who have been outspoken about issues and the community coming together. But also rather than symbolic gestures, about moving forward and trying to have a dialogue and moving forward to make things happen," Mills said Friday at the Knicks' season-opening press conference.
