We got some crazy news out of Orlando in regards to Jonathan Isaac a small port for the Orlando magic if you guys are not familiar with the subject Jonathan Isaac Refused to kneel or wear a black matter the black lives matter t-shirt during the national anthem So so obviously after the game everyone had questions for him. They wanted to hear him out to see what his Stance was or why he made the decisions that he did So what we're gonna do is before we even break it down ourselves from our own unique perspective. We're gonna play this video We're gonna see what he has to say then we're gonna take it from there You know during the anthem, but you also didn't wear a black lives matter shirt. Do you believe the black lives matter? Absolutely Don't go hand-in-hand with supporting black lives I feel like just me personally Standing on a stance that I do believe that black lives matter, but I Just feel like it was a decision that I had to make it. I didn't put in putting a shirt on and kneeling I went hand-in-hand with Made me support black lives or not. I believe that for myself. My life has been supported through the gospel Jesus Christ Everyone is made in the image of God and that we all for sure God's glory You know each and every one of us each and every day do things that we shouldn't do you say things that we shouldn't say We hate and we dislike people that we shouldn't hate and dislike Sometimes it gets into a point where we point fingers About whose evil is worse Sometimes that comes down to simply whose evil is his most visible So Like the answer to it is Right there, I just want to again I just want before we finish out the clip I just wanted to just kind of break down kind of digest what we just heard right there So Jonathan Isaac, so he has his own unique perspective on these social issues in some of our earlier videos and some of our earlier videos when I was critical of Kyrie Irving when I was critical of Lou Williams And even the NBA with regards to the the primary plans that were set in place that we actually knew of You know, I was critical of the NBA for Or and the NBA Players Association for saying that part of the plan was The Black Lives Matter on the court Black Lives Matter patches on the jersey t-shirts things of that nature And and and Jonathan Isaac is actually taking the same approach he you know, he understands that you know these slogans the the sands Kneeling during the anthem at the end of the day They make for great moments and makes for great TV, but when we go home You know when we look at our communities when we look at our own surroundings, you know Duties actions do these things actually change our environment that he's do these things, you know the these symbols That's what these t-shirts are. This type of symbolism doesn't actually make real change And and so I think he's taking this stance that you know He I think he wants the NBA to actually do something, you know, I'm still curious. I still want to know what Set in stone did the NBA Players Association What did they what what did they want the NBA to do to affect change on these social issues? And the only thing that we've seen so far are a bunch of symbols kneeling kneeling during the the anthem again That's great. It shows unity. It shows that we're all on the same page But again, it doesn't not it does not provide a solution. It does not even jump-start a solution You know, we all understand that, you know, especially with the killing of George Floyd or the murder of George Floyd We all understand that something needs to be done. Something needs to be done with regards to police brutality the social injustices Voting reform that some of the players are participating in but with regards to what the NBA is doing I like the fact that he's standing on his own two feet He's not just following trends because again at the end of the day It's sad but for a lot of these players when they go home or when they take these t-shirts off A lot of these social issues really won't mean much You know again a lot of this for a lot of people is just for the show and it's sad and unfortunate, but the truth of the matter is that This has now become This has now become I would say Clickbaiting and a way for people to kind of clout chase on a specific moment and that's what people are doing It's it's trendy now to say black lives matter. It's trendy now to wear the black life matter t-shirts, but but are you guys? Or are we as a community actually doing the things that need to be done to affect change? And I feel the same way with regards to NBA is the NBA actually doing things? aside from things that are Considered symbolism are they actually doing the things that matters to affect change in these communities? So we're gonna go ahead and hear him out. I like his approach man I and again, he he has his own reasoning. I don't expect everyone to be on the same page again He's not wrong for his line of thinking because again, he sounds like he's a very religious person And so he's taking he's making he's basing his decision Based on his faith and his religious beliefs and I can only I can do nothing but just appreciate that Answer that go ahead. Oh, am I able to follow up with a quick one? Yes, please. Do go ahead. Okay Um, so Jonathan, I I'm asking this with all sincerity. I just want to really understand your reasoning for that Can you just explain further what you feel like religion has to do with kneeling for the anthem to protest against racism and police brutality? the correlation between those two Well, I mean honestly, I don't I don't really see it as religion for myself. I see it as a relationship Not only I don't I don't think that you know kneeling or Putting on a t-shirt for me personally is the answer I feel like for me black lives are supported through the gospel Our lives are supported through the gospel that we all like I said have things that that we do wrong Sometimes it gets into a place of pointing fingers about who's wrong is worse Who's wrong is seen so? Like the Bible tells us that we're off. We all fall short of We all fall short of God's glory and that at the end of the day, whoever will Humble themselves and seek God and repent of their sins that we could see it in a different light See our mistakes and people's mistakes in a different light. I see people's people in a different light That would help bring us closer together and get past can go get past anything that you know, that's on the surface Doesn't really deal with the hearts of many Okay, I can really I can really and truly appreciate his stance on that it almost seemed like towards the end of that it almost seems like that the reporter was trying to box him in to To make in a statement that they could chop up and take the wrong direction. So I'm glad he stayed the course He maintained his answer. He didn't veer away from it. You know, that question was very very leading She I think she was trying to to lead him into saying why he didn't potentially support Black Lives Matter, but that's definitely not the case again Everyone has different opinions on this not everyone's going to want to kneel not everyone agrees with nearly everyone has their own Perspective on this based on their own life experiences, you know, and I think we again Primarily as a black community we point the finger and we blame too much When someone doesn't think Like the masses And sometimes we need to stop the blame game and just understand that he just has a different perspective on this again Like he told her Being you don't have in faith having your own faith and belief is different from being religious You know these religions as you know, these religions have their own agenda Sometimes religions can be political at the end of the day is about your own individual faith your own individual choices And I like that he held to his guns right there. He didn't allow a reporter to get some type of clickbait statement out of them that could be chopped up and used against him later down the road down the road because we know we're living in an age now where people are Looking for you know, people are looking for things that they can chop up and make a mess of You know in the public. We just saw it with we just saw it with Andrea Goddard in the situation with Ariel powers where she took she took a compliment and turned it into something negative and then and be you know the media in the toxic social environment ran with that and tried to Drive the narrative that he was being disrespectful towards women and so we can see it here. I can see the stories out tomorrow probably people are going to be saying that Jonathan Isaac doesn't support black lives matter when that clearly isn't the case people are gonna make me making a big deal about it I'm reporting on it here now because again, I support what he's doing If he has his own individual and unique perspective on this And at the end of the day, he still supports the movement. I appreciate that He has his own reasons for that Like I've said time and time again, and I've already said this I've said this before he even before this even happened I said the kneeling the t-shirts the symbolism These things won't do anything There were a lot of things that NBA players could have asked for that were tangible that could have really had a major impact on communities a lot of these social issues educate people with regards to Making better life choices and at the end of the day the players never came to a clear and concise plan And what Jonathan Isaac did right there? Just kind of brings home the point that Most of the NBA players a lot of the NBA players again We're more so about getting back to playing basketball as opposed to what to somebody, you know As opposed to really really addressing some of these social issues and we've kind of let that skate by without being addressed It's kind of been swept under the rug and then when we as we watch these games a lot of the symbolism is just being Thrown in our face and it gives the impression that something's being done But at the end of the day, what is really being done is that's the main question. What is really being done? Well have the players held the NBA's feet to the fire to make them put money Or resources into these communities to fix some of these problems and so far I haven't seen anything tangible from the NBA Adam Silva even confirmed. There's nothing tangible being done There's only talk and again, we we allow players to skate by You know the players initially sounded as if they were going to hold the NBA Accountable to make them take action and and at the end of the day we see that that did not happen So again, Jonathan Isaac refusing refusing to anneal for the national anthem alongside all of his other players are refusing to wear black lives matter t-shirt and He has you know, I give him I give him an FYF salute We have to give him a salute on that because again, he's standing on his two own two feet He's making his own decision and he has all reasons for why he's making that decision and he's not wavering from it So I can definitely appreciate that.
