'We can all add more empathy into our daly lives,' Love wrote on Instagram
“Everyone reacts differently to stressful situations. And the fear and anxiety resulting from the recent outbreak of COVID-19 can be extremely overwhelming,” Love captioned a photo of himself with the arena workers. “Through the game of basketball, we’ve been able to address major issues and stand together as a progressive league that cares about the players, the fans, and the communities where we work.
“I’m concerned about the level of anxiety that everyone is feeling and that is why I’m committing $100,000 through the @KevinLoveFund in support of the @Cavs arena and support staff that had a sudden life shift due to the suspension of the NBA season,” he wrote. “I hope that during this time of crisis, others will join me in supporting our communities.”“Pandemics are not just a medical phenomenon.
“Be kind to one another. Be understanding of their fears, regardless if you don’t feel the same. Be safe and make informed decisions during this time. And I encourage everyone to take care of themselves and to reach out to others in need — whether that means supporting your local charities that are canceling events, or checking in on your colleagues and family,” he concluded.RELATED: U.S.
Love’s message was met with a sea of support from fans as well as his Cavaliers teammate, who had announced earlier in the day that they would be compensating all of their hourly employees and event staff team members at the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse “as if every game and every event is still taking place.”Other stars sent Love support on social media, including sports journalist and broadcaster Taylor Rooks.
“Kevin Love is everything that’s good about the NBA. He’s everything that’s good about people. He shows it time and time again,” she wrote on Twitter and Instagram. “This pandemic is and has been rough on all of us. But it’s gestures like Kevin’s that give us all some peace.”
