It was an open secret but it has finally happened. The protests by movement
Black Live Matters
(black lives matter) have marked the
return from NBA
in the bubble of Orlando. Despite contrary messages from Donald Trump, the players, trainers and umpires have decided challenge the president and kneel down together during the interpretation of the anthem of U.S.
Despite the fact that according to the code of conduct of the NBA
prohibits he kneel down during the anthem, the league commissioner, Adam Silver, had already stated that the competition would not sanction should the players decide to protest in this way against the racism and the police brutality in U.S.
In addition, several of the players have played with vindictive messages substituting their names on the shirts. For example, the star of the Utah Jazz, Rudy Gobert, he did it with the name
Equality
(equity), Joe Ingles, a white Australian player for the Salt Lake City team, has done so with the word
Ally
(ally); while Zion Williamson has done so with the inscription
Peace
(paz).
