Memphis Grizzlies coach David Fizdale isn't afraid to speak his mind. The most notable example of that came during the 2017 NBA playoffs when he ranted about officiating following a first-round loss to the San Antonio Spurs, and spawned a meme in the process.
On Wednesday Fizdale voiced his opinion in an interview with Wendi Thomas of MLK50, speaking eloquently on a number of topics at the forefront of the national conversation, decrying the racism rampant in the country today, including the "Unite The Right" rally in Charlottesville which lead to deadly violence in the city, harshly criticizing President Donald Trump's response to those events, and urging city leaders in Memphis to remove confederate monuments.
