you know, there have been, you know, kaepernick to now so many folks standing up. i couldn't have this conversation without talking about the work of the wnba and the women basketball players who stood up and have been so powerful on these issues and have sacrificed, many of them taking time off the league, out of the league to engage and work directly on social justice movements, athletes setting up foundations and other things. and so the fact of the matter is every couple of years we hear, has the movement lost steam? the movement isn't about just people standing up and raising their voices, because we have nothing else to do. the movement is about us standing up and speaking out because we can do nothing else, because our lives and our families are on the line, because day in and day out we are dealing with the impacts of systems that are not broken, but are operating exactly the way they are designed and are set up to harm and hurt us. and then to not deliver accountability and justice. and this is simply not about hearts and minds. it is about power. and that

fourth wave was colin kaepernick.th wave was framed up by entire teams becoming involved in this situation. and this was set in motion, i could see this coming in 2014, when the university of missouri, black football players threatened a boycott, not just a protest, they threatened a boycott unless the students' demands that the president be fired and so forth, that the students had been battling for two years, was recognized and honored. three days after the football players sent out that statement on social media, the president resigned, soon followed by the chancellor and ultimately the football coach. at the end of it, it was clear to me that this was a new wave of athlete activism that was already on the political horizon. once you get teams involved with boycotts, they're sending a message, not like protests which are simply making a statement. then comes the strategic challenge of, what are you going to do next, what are next steps. >> we're going to have that conversation, dr. edwards. i can talk to you about

so when people say what did the kaepernick protest do in the long run?years out and we see what those seeds have grown into. they have grown into these protests. the question the players have when they meet this morning -- they want 11:00 a.m. was the time they immediate -- do they continue to play? some say they are too hurt individually to continue on. they can't see this happen again. i can't speak to that. i have not gone through what they have experienced or feeling personally. every person has a right to their feelings and opinions. if you choose not to work or play, that's your choice. i do think as i accepted back, not emotionally involved, playing would be the best thing to continue to keep their message out there. the players have worn these messages on their jerseys. they have shown support by taking knees around the world in different sports. if after every game when they're asked about the game, they answer the question, but they'll keep the issue on the front burner. i think by keep their platform available might be the most impactful thing

we don't want these people -- it's funny, with kaepernick to take a step back, all of the sudden you heard a couple of other speeches who said, i think rudy giuliani who you just mentioned is if it's peaceful protest, that's totally fine. it's just that when it gets violent we're upset about it. colin kaepernick lost his job and for the last three or four years persona non grata and smeared because of all this. so now we're already seeing revisionist history. i'm glad you mentioned that. there is a stark contrast what's happening in the country right now, a conversation that the country is trying to come to grips with, trying to move forward, and what you heard tonight really sounded just completely dissonant from that conversation america is having. >> that's an important backdrop. i want to thank blake and liz. and on that point, michael steele is returning later in the program to get into some of the reporting we've been doing on the racial disparity in profiling of police brutality. it's important. i know, michael, like a lot of people, you care about it. he joins us later. thank

they've had it with colin kaepernick. they've said it with the nba bubble. this will perhaps kick the resentment up some. i think doc rivers understands this, this is a seminal moment for a lot of reasons. think of how diverse the protesters were in the aftermath of george floyd's death. think of the response now. the milwaukee brewers, most of the players on that team are not players of color. and the players of color with the detroit lions who are now with the milwaukee bucs in the nba are joined by their white fellow teammates. there's something afoot here that is different than what has preceded it. while i certainly understand doc rive rivers' emotions, he is a universally respected man. he's a good man. and as he said, were you -- someone was speaking to me. it was not you, erin, i guess. should i finish? >> finish your thought, please. >> doc rivers is a universally respected man, but i think he understands that regardless of some of the forces of resentment and resistance or worse, including what we saw in kenosha over the past 24 hours with the shoo

but with the nfl, like what you brought up with colin kaepernick, over the last week the light has gones and starting to realize just how much power they have. snfl a different monster. we know their history. we know what the owners, the league and commissioner has done for year after year when it comes to racial and social issues. now we're on the precipice of the biggest sport in terms of coming back what will nfl do since they have been at the center of this came since 2016. now there are a lot of people that have optimism with everything that's been going on, especially this last week that maybe finally nfl will the turn a new page. this is a new chapter that hopefully these owners understand finally get it. i don't necessarily feel this way just because i have history on my side showing this isn't the league that's going to do the right thing. because we know that they haven't. but we're going to find out very, very soon what's going to happen and what happens in the nfl will have a lot to say about what happens in the coming months and the coming years. >> before we wrap, i saw yo

you know, colin kaepernick started something or i should rather -- to be more concise, he continued aradition of how black athletes have always had been in this space. if you want to go back as far as jackie robinson through muhammad ali, john carlos, tommy smith, kareem abdul-jabbar, there's a pretty significant list of athletes who fought for racial injustice or fought against it, rather. so now we have reached a crucial breaking point in our country and a lot of athletes, many of whom are black, they're tired. they're exhausted. they're frustrated. they're angry. they want america to listen to what it's like to really be black in america in this country and to understand the racism that they still even faced, despite being pro athletes, despite having the platforms and making millions of dollars. and often in many moments they're reminded that they're black, so this just their frustration kind of come to life. >> you see some players -- chris paul, the president of the nba administration, he has been critical of some fellow players for not doing more. noting that some are not regis
