NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers have signed an open letter criticizing political interference in college sports, arguing it threatens educational freedom and the values instilled in student-athletes.
NBA coaches Steve Kerr and Doc Rivers have signed on to an open letter blasting what they call the “political interference” in college sports . “College sports unite us as a nation, drawing out team spirit and shared values of fair play,” the letter, according to ESPN.
“Campuses – big and small, public and private, two- and four-year – are a bedrock foundation for the role sports play in American life. Protecting university independence safeguards this proud tradition.” “Right now, at both the federal and state levels, acts of political interference threaten the independence of our colleges and universities,” the letter adds. The letter goes on to allege that this “political interference” harms college culture and claims that the cuts to funding, attempts at censorship, and “intimidation” of administrators are a threat to educational freedom. “When students are afraid to speak their minds, they cannot give their all,” the letter continues. “When campuses are polarized, it’s hard to maintain the ‘one team’ spirit we instill in the locker room. Unprecedented political pressure on colleges and universities undercuts the values we have sought to instill in student-athletes.”**Livewire** Operation Epic Fury Day SixTrump Rejects Ali Khamenei’s Son as Iranian Successor, Says He Has to Be Involved in ChoiceU.S. Labor Market Lost 92,000 Jobs in February, Unemployment Rose to 4.4 PercentTrump Honors Lou Holtz After His Passing: ‘An Absolute Winner’U.S. and Venezuela Agree to Restore Diplomatic Ties on Anniversary of Hugo Chávez’s Death Dem Sen.
