As a Hawks fan you support a team with a racist mascot.

Not the same as Cleveland and Washington

Notice how unmoved and detached the men beside him are.....The look we've seen on the faces of White NFL team members.

Sport uses the veneer of brotherhood as a silencer & a motivator yet very few non-black Athletes have shown a spec of brotherhood

From Football to BasketBall, to Soccer, this look of inherent indifference is seen on non-black faces. Because our pain is invisible to them

Riskier for him is that he is not a good player

Its like giving the middle finger to all those who fought and died to give us the freedom that we have today.

They fought and died for the ideals & values of your country not for a flag or anthem. Americans need to support their fellow Americans
-
And they fought and died to give people the freedom to express themselves in peaceful protest - even when their motives or actions offend.
