KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The NABC Board of Directors has released the following statement.
“We are saddened and angered by the death of George Floyd and other recent senseless losses of life, and offer our deepest condolences to all who share in our grief. We acknowledge that sympathy alone is not enough. As coaches, we have the responsibility to use our platforms to push back against hate, and to stand alongside those – including many of our players and colleagues – who for too long have been marginalized. Racism and prejudice of any form have no place in our world. We demand all coaches to join in the cause – by listening, by speaking out and by acting – of making equality for all a reality.”
