Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers reacted to the Madison Christian School shooting by condemning the violence and calling for action. However, he made controversial statements about guns, suggesting they were the real terrorists, while failing to acknowledge the security measures in place at NBA games.

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers reportedly reacted to the Madison Christian School shooting by claiming, “Kids can’t go to school safe.” He added, “Kids can’t go to school safe, and it just seems like we don’t do anything about it. I’m not going to get up here on the podium and give a long speech except for it’s just bad. We’re thinking about them.”, “This whole thing about, ‘I guess it wasn’t a terrorist attack,’ just infuriates me.

If that was your child, I’d bet they think it was a terrorist attack. The guns are the terrorist, and until we understand that, we’re going to keep having terrorist attacks. It’s sad.” Rivers did not mention that security/officers with guns are part of the security surrounding/protecting NBA games every night. He also failed to see that background checks for gun sales in America have topped one million checks a month. The NBA’s ratings are down 48 percent over the past 12 years and “this year alone they are down 28 percent on ESPN,” Sports analyst Colin Cowherd looked at the dwindling viewership and said, “‘Go ask the Democrats. Be warned, once you detach from regular people in America, you will pay a price.”,Sports analyst Colin Cowherd looked at the dwindling viewership and said, “‘Go ask the Democrats.
