* Abdul-Jabbar defends protests, says racism deadlier than Covid-19
Manchester United’s Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford added their voices to worldwide protests against racism. Also at the weekend, NBA legend, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar defended the protests in a powerful op-ed for the Los Angeles Times on Saturday, writing that while he doesn’t want to see stores looted or buildings burned, the protests are the result of what happens when black Americans have been pushed to their tipping point.
Those who criticize the looting and fires, saying that those actions are hurting the protesters’ cause aren’t wrong, but they’re not right, either, the former Lakers star said.
