Before moving forward on this piece, I wanted to address something from the comments in the last couple weeks since I have written posts on topics involving the Washington Wizards that intersect with race and politics.
I received complaints last week that some commenters have written or egged on racially-charged or racist comments. These came after a recent post highlighting the reactions the Washington Wizards’ and Mystics’ players had after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of murdering George Floyd on May 25, 2020.
After some comments on that post and others, we had to ban some users.
