America Is Raging. Listen to What’s Being Said.

As cities boil over, pleas from sports figures to hear the voices in the streets.

By Jason Gay May 31, 2020 10:18 am ET

A humble ask from a sports columnist:

Pay attention.

Pay attention to what’s happening in America.

Pay attention to who is speaking out, and who is laying low.

Pay attention to what’s happening in the streets, the fire, the chaos, the hearts that are breaking…but also pay attention to the anger.
Hear it. This anger that’s playing out, it isn’t new. It’s built up over years, decades, generations upon generations. It’s foundational.

“I feel like sitting back and being quiet, that’s literally going to solve nothing, so at least get a conversation going. Even if you don’t want to do it publicly, that’s fine, that’s not your venue. But at the same time, you can maybe take what I said and talk about it individually. Even if you disagree with me, why do you disagree? That’s fine if you don’t agree, but at the same time, why don’t you think that those viewpoints are valid?” Brianna Turner, WNBA player.
