Quote of the Day


Former NBA player, BBC Olympic basketball analyst, and current Amnesty International “Olympic Ambassador” John Amaechi:

To me, it is remarkable that we want to say athletes should shut up and just play.  In everyday context they are good enough to tell us what cereals to eat, what shoes to wear, about anti-obesity or whatever, but when it comes to a fundamental tenet of human rights, somehow they are not good enough.  If we want them to be holistic role models, then let’s let them be holistic role models.

Word.
