Utah Jazz players, staff wear shirts denouncing racism before game against Brooklyn Nets

On Saturday night before Utah took on the Brooklyn Nets at Vivint Arena, Snyder, along with many others in both the Jazz and Nets organizations (including players), donned a shirt that carried a message of anti-racism in the wake of Monday's incident between Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook and a fan at the arena.
