Mientras el Estados Unidos intentionaba lidiar con las scenes que sururgieron en Washington DC. on Wednesday, when President Trump’s partisans marched on the Capitol, the world of sports was trying to find out how to process the events of the day with all of them.
“Pero lo que no es”, says the coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, Dok Rivers, the nightmares of the night, “It’s scary that it’s an attack on democracy. It’s not. Democracy prevails. It’s always. It’s embarrassing, it shows a lot. When we see the protest in the verb and we see the stories , we are in the police and the national guard and in execution, and we are here and there is nothing (similar) … Basically a point about the privileged life of many many ways.
“I say, because I do not believe that many people will cry (Declare): Do you imagine all African American furs living in the capital that has passed? It’s for me, it’s an image that is worth more than a few words, for those who want it all, and probably something we should consider again.
“There is no police attack on the people, no golf policy on the people. The people were eagerly listened to by the Capitol. Entones, show that can spread pacifically to a multitude. But it’s a sad day, in many ways, it’s not good for our country. On the other side of the front, the people will be here, but it will be the part of us, as well as those who are solemn ”.
“Can you imagine today if it was black people storming the Capitol, and what would have happened?”

If the ballooning game between the University of Massachusetts and the University of George Washington in the nation’s capital were held, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski informed the high schools that he did not have formal discussions between the NBA and the National Association of Basketball Players about the possibility of possessing any of the 11 league games scheduled for Wednesday night. It also contains all the NBA equipment in Washington, Los Wizards, which has a list for para and in Philadelphia against 76ers.
“We must be the best we can be,” said the Washington Wizards coach, Scott Brooks. “When I watch the videos, it’s repugnant. It’s a special place, and it’s just a hope that everything is salvo. It’s not necessary to be allowed. It’s unacceptable.”
The same can be said of the plans of the NFL for the Comodines Game this weekend between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Washington Soccer Team of Landover, Maryland.
“There are no changes in the state of the game at the end of this week”, said the NFL spokesman, Brian McCarthy.
He has 24 tumultuous hours, since no cargo was presented by the tiroteo of Jacob Blake by Kenosha, durante este verano. March for the Late, the Democratic candidates for the two Senados in Georgia, the reverend Raphael Warnock y Jon Ossoff, there are many gunners of their careers the fairy tales of the world and the place where the violent scenes in Capitol hill el merercoles la la tarde.
The coach of the Boston Celtics, Brad Stevens, dijo que él y sus jugadores habían hablado sobre la decisión en el caso Blake el miercoles por la monana, pero que no había tenido la oportunidad de hablar con ellos despude de todo lo que sucedió en Washington durante la tarde.
“Lo vi todo”, says Stevens. “I’m sure our players will do it all. I’m sure everyone around the world has seen it. Suppose my reaction is sad. Creo that the form in which he sees is that creo that all hope that the people who elijamos for conducting are suppose to be modeled the leader, he hagan in a manner motivated to serve the demas demonstrating composition, acting with grace. And, cambio, we elect a president who, fortunately, is salient, and others who have not shown his grace.
‘Ha side consistent. And he simply operated with an activity to “win at all costs”. And now it is, our world of sports is much less important, obviously, but it is always thought that if you operate with an act of “gain at all costs”, there will be a very good and unsatisfactory final. And in this situation, a final victory.
“If I hope for two weeks from now, just like any other person”.
Pocos places the emotions of the last 24 hours in Atlanta, where Warnock converts to the first African-American man elected to the Senate by the state some days before the disturbances of the mercury will be delayed.
Pero para Lloyd Pierce, the Hawks coach who was in the vanguard of the impulse of the organization to get the vote so far in the general elections of November as in the special election that acaba to hold, it is he who establishes the mercantile in vain.
“It’s tragic,” Pierce said. “I believe that it is sad, honestly. I believe that it is a sad reality, it really is. It is lamentable that this is what we were living in our country after the one we passed. But we are not hoping. In a day for some like you , an African American man, a day to miraculously here in the state of Georgia and to be seen as Raphael Warnock convert to the first African American man who represents the state of Georgia in the Senate and sees the next that this is the reaction, this is the reality.
‘It is not a coincidence that this is the reaction to all the events. Followers of this race have been with some very promising elections. Georgia people vote and vote. African Americans in the state of Georgia will vote on one more day than in the November 3 elections. Hablaron for this state and for the country.
“We live in a divided country and we can decide that power and politics, but also race. And it is a reflection, and it is worthwhile for those who have discussed the problems related to the color people, the color communities, the African Americans. and his ability to have access, if any, he has decided, what he sees is high, he is real. Racism is real. The problems are real. The protests are real. Because what we are seeing is sad, it is a sad reality that our country only has to reconnoiter and reconnoiter. For those who do not create it, hope that it creates now “.
Tanto Pierce as Rivers también hablaron about the difficulties to see the form in which the protesters were treated when the theme was Black lives matter, and the fairies were treated, when the photos were taken by the police and friends were brought in to enter the Capitol.
“These are not the masses,” said Rivers. “Las masas han hablado. I’m very sorry Georgia. Georgia habló, ¿sabes? If you are not one of them. This is a group of people who decided to be rebels. And if we say yes, then we believe that all of us will live in a better place, ¿verdad? Pero el simbolismo de asaltar el Capitolio sin forzarlos. If you are an African American, it definitely touches on a different way. This is not something for African Americans. This is some stadium and we will not convert to it. But definitely you should think, sure “.
“Ojalá supiera la respuesta a eso”, dijo Pierce. “Never change until you recognize that there is a difference. Never forget that there is a reconciliation of the past as it has always dealt with African Americans and their history. Regress to slavery, regress to Reconstruction, regress to los you can say that the things you want to change do not recognize that there is a problem, what you are looking for is a recorder that has a big difference.
“There is a reason why there are no tyrants, brutalities, scoundrels and things of its nature and the people simply walk by the Capitol as if they were not fighting. You have been sent to the office of Nancy Pelosi as if nothing. All of them understand that Habria has armed and fleeing at this time and the African Americans are protesting. If African American people are protesting outside. We will not mention that the people will enter and destroy the edification. But there is something to be said for recognizing that there is a big difference in how we treat African American people with respect to the application of the law and it has simply not been sued.
“We have been lying about it, we have had protests about it, we have a reason why the people have gone out of their way to vote and vote to change the leadership. But you have to recognize that there is a difference in the form in which they are treated. African Americans in this country, especially those who respect the application of the law, in situations such as this one are not going to change “.
Indeed, in the midst of all this, the players and coaches are in the process of discovering how to concentrate on the area in question while assimilating everything that has been added to its environment.
“Hay tantas capas”, says the coach of the Houston Rockets, Stephen Silas. “It is suecedent in the edification of the Capitol, and the lie is the one by which, and this lie is the one by which it is: the division and all these are other things. it seems that at the moment there is a greater division in humanity. That is what I am suffering and suffering at the moment “.
