A couple of thoughts:
1. I am so GRATEFUL to have played for a coach that is so LOYAL and GENUINELY loves his guys, and is not afraid to express it!
2. I pray that I am able to live to 70+ years old. If I do, I hope to have half the passion for anything that MY COACH still has!

Leadership!!!
Genesee County Sheriff (Flint, Michigan) Chris Swanson put down his helmet and baton and asked protesters how he could help.
The protesters chanted "walk with us" so the Sheriff joined — and walked alongside the protesters in solidarity.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania:
A wonderful 44-seconds.
This was how the peaceful protest concluded yesterday — with one of the organizers giving the state police water that was donated to protesters.
Please listen to his words.🌎❤️

I’m not picking sides. NOTHING I HAVE SAID IS POLITICAL. You have NO idea what political affiliation I am. You can’t know because I DON’T know! But this is what you do! It’s OBVIOUS you didn’t listen to the message. You and people like YOU ARE THE PROBLEM! Stay off my timeline!

Big thanks to UNC Basketball for suggesting we both wear these pins. This rivalry is built on respect. The gesture meant a lot to my family.
Tonight, two rivals come together in support of the Capel family and the fight against ALS. Both coaching staffs are wearing this pin.

My kids just started their distance learning today! I grew up with parents as educators. They both taught k-12 at some point. So I have always appreciated and had great respect for teachers! After the past 2 weeks, I realize even more how underpaid and undervalued they are!!!

The beautiful spirit of humanity! WE NEED MORE OF THIS!
As riots in Minneapolis continue, a center for low-income housing put out a call asking for food donations.
This is how people responded.
There was so much food it became a distribution center for anyone — at all — who needed it.
Humanity.🌎❤️😇

This looks like something from the ‘60’s. What the hell man??? Seriously, how can ANYONE watch this and not be furious? I don’t know what the guy was arrested for. It doesn’t matter. NO HUMAN BEING SHOULD BE TREATED like this! But you ONLY see it with black men. WHY???

Think about this: MJ retired because he had nowhere to go. The GREATEST player in the history of the game didn’t have a team after winning his 6th title, and still being the most dominate player in the game! The Bulls front office and ownership was a travesty!

For the life of me, I cannot understand how someone could justify shooting someone else in the back 7x. I just can’t find a reason. I pray that Jacob Blake recovers and he and his family get the proper justice that OUR country has PROMISED US ALL! Please Lord, MAKE IT STOP! SMH🙏🏽

@colin_dunlap
for sharing your family’s journey. Thank you Pittsburgh, for being you!
Seeing his daughter Darran diagnosed with leukemia was devastating to Pittsburgh sports radio host Colin Dunlap.
But both of them found out just how generous the city of Pittsburgh and its sports teams can be.

Also, Bruce lost two daughters to car-accidents. He tells the story.
