The ongoing protests against racism and for social justice continue to ripple through the country in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. They’ve effected nearly every facet of American life including sports. The Dallas Mavericks joined the chorus of solidarity with the protesters with their strongest statement on the ongoing events yet.
Their initial statement, released Sunday, read, “History goes through phases. Phases in Restoring (justice), Rebuilding (communities), and Rebounding (as people). Rebounding takes a team effort and we will rebound together.” For lack of a better word, it was cutesy, and didn’t strike a proper tone.
