How can athletes promote social<br> justice?
CaHeK987 [17]

ORLANDO, Fla. —

The NBA playoffs will pick up again this weekend after players made a powerful statement on Wednesday.

Athletes have a voice when it comes to change and demands for social justice. Their impact is extending off the court and into the world.

"We stand with them, we support them and we're there for them," Michael-Carter Williams said.

The Orlando Magic's Michael Carter-Williams spoke Thursday about the Milwaukee Bucks' decision not to play Wednesday and instead, making a demand for the end to social injustice.

"We have a big platform that we can use to really make change in this country and we can go home to our communities and make change there," Carter-Williams said.

The Bucks' decision led to all NBA games being postponed Wednesday, some baseball games weren't played, as well as soccer, and the WNBA.

"This was a historic moment last night, we never had anything like that happen before," Dr. Richard Lapchick said.

Lapchick is a UCF professor who is also the president of the Institute for Sport and Social Justice.

He says the impact from Wednesday's boycott can't be overstated.

"The unity that occurred between the players and teams and leagues, was particularly impressive," Lapchick said. "The importance of what the players are doing, and what the country is doing in response, is looking at more than police brutality, it's looking at systemic racism."

"People are just tired of what's going on, there's no justice at all," Sandy Lallavee said.

Lallavee is one of the many residents we spoke to who supports the athletes' desire for a committed dialogue and effective change.

"I think it's the right thing to do right now, I support their decision and I think it's terrible what's happening in the world, in America," Gerrod Trytten said.

"It's a younger generation doing things and trying to make change, I respect them and I think they're doing the right thing," Nick Trapp said.

"They're showing their humanity, they're showing what they really care about in society," Lapchick said.

Consider the following equations of motion.
Helen [10]

A) No, the equations presented above are the product of the derivation of position and velocity when the acceleration is constant.

The equations change to polynomial function of the second degree for the description of the acceleration when described as a function of time.

B) Yes, when the acceleration is zero it is concluded that the velocity is constant, therefore they could be used to describe the position as a function of the change in velocity.
