As part of efforts to end racism, the National Basketball Association (NBA), has reportedly decided to paint ‘Black Lives Matter‘ onto courts before the start of next season.
It is said that the league and the players’ union have decided on the move and the NBA will use three arenas at the Disney site as 22 of the league’s 30 teams conclude the regular season beginning July 30.
The WNBA (women’s basketball league) might also follow the NBA’s lead and put ‘Black Lives Matter’ on its courts at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, for its 2020 season, according to ESPN.
Issues of racism has been trending in the recent weeks after an unarmed black man Goerge Floyd died while being pinned down by a white police officer.
Since then, there has been several protests across the world with the Black Lives Matter movement being pushed.
