Carmelo Anthony, LeBron James & Other Speak Out After Recent Violence

First off let me start off by saying " All Praise Due To The Most High." Secondly, I'm all about rallying, protesting, fighting for OUR people. Look I'll even lead the charge, By Any Means Necessary. We have to be smart about what we are doing though. We need to steer our anger in the right direction. The system is Broken. Point blank period. It has been this way forever. Martin Luther King marched. Malcolm X rebelled. Muhammad Ali literally fought for US. Our anger should be towards the system. If the system doesn't change we will continue to turn on the TVs and see the same thing. We have to put the pressure on the people in charge in order to get this thing we call JUSTICE right. A march doesn't work. We tried that. I've tried that. A couple social media post/tweet doesn't work. We've all tried that. That didn't work. Shooting 11 cops and killing 5 WILL NOT work. While I don't have a solution, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people don't have a solution, we need to come together more than anything at this time. We need each other. These politicians have to step up and fight for change. I'm calling for all my fellow ATHLETES to step up and take charge. Go to your local officials, leaders, congressman, assemblymen/assemblywoman and demand change. There's NO more sitting back and being afraid of tackling and addressing political issues anymore. Those days are long gone. We have to step up and take charge. We can't worry about what endorsements we gonna lose or whose going to look at us crazy. I need your voices to be heard. We can demand change. We just have to be willing to. THE TIME IS NOW. IM all in. Take Charge. Take Action. DEMAND CHANGE. Peace7 #StayMe7o

After the devastating night that occurred in Dallas, some of our greatest stars, including Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James, spoke out.

Admittedly, it’s extremely tough to discuss sports after such a night.

What the world watched in Dallas on Jul. 7 of 2016 was something unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. An example of counterproductive, senseless violence that can top Dallas is hard to come by.

Sports is the sandbox.

In the end it means very little. It isn’t real life and it doesn’t judge life and death.

But this is why we love sports. It’s an intersection of real life and something enjoyable – entertainment and competition for all. It’s unscripted, drama-filled content.

Stars such as Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James understand this notion. Just take a look at some of the overwhelming words, following Dallas, coming from our greatest sports stars:
