Black Lives Matter in Sports

Black Lives Matter in sports is a movement where athletes and teams use their platform to raise awareness about racial injustice and inequality faced by Black communities. By kneeling, wearing symbols, or speaking out during games, they aim to highlight issues like police brutality and systemic racism. These actions seek to promote social change, encourage dialogue, and support marginalized groups, emphasizing that Black lives matter just as much as everyone else's. It’s a way for sports figures to use their influence to advocate for equity and justice beyond the game.
