what is his posture if you will about the civil rights movement and then to fighters like muhammad alire making more challenges to power. where was sugar ray? so first, there was also a gap, 1952 until 1955. he leaves middleweight boxing to become a tap dancer. and travels to nightclubs in the usa it's not a very good nightclub. but because he is sugar ray robinson he gets on with a pretty big nays he travels with the band it's amazing. he comes back, regains his middleweight belt again. an astonishing comeback. just a feared fighter and he tries to move up to heavyweight to take on jewelry maxim and he loses. his fight career starts to go downhill. he loses his nightclub. he and his wife have divorced. so you have riots in america, he retires, moves out to l.a., in 1963 there is the march on washington. he does not go. robinson did not like cliques. he thought unwisely that may be all of the so-called hip people were going to go to the march on washington. i think if he had it all to do over again he would have went. but he did not. he was not actively involved in civil rights. he tho

athletes are often told to shut up and play, we know many use their voices to call for change from muhammad aliaking up to tommy smith and jean carlos with their fists up in the air to colin kaepernick taking a knee, it's not new and athletes and activism often go hand in hand. in the wake of george floyd's death athletes are turning up the heat calling for social justice and racial equality. wnba athletes looking to today's tip-off are also focusing on seeking justice for victims of police brutality and racial justice including breonna taylor, the louisville emt shot dead in her home by police executing a no-knock warrant, and months later none of the officers involved have been arrested or charged. >> i've asked women from around the league to join me to amplify this message and to make it clear where we stand. >> reporter: the wnba dedicating this season to social justice. all players on the phoenix mercury will wear jerseys with breonna taylor's nar the lshtse be able to play with everything else that's going on with the murders that are happening and i think we're given a prime opportunity

well, if you want to go back and you look at any sport, whether muhammad ali, whether serena williamswoods, whether misty copeland, when you allow for integration at the highest level, the quality of the sport increases. in 2003, the n.f.l. implemented in7, four years later, for the first time in n.f.l. history two black coaches met in the super bowl. that's not a coincidence. i want to see the n.f.l. mandate integration in coaching. >> stephen: and for those of us who don't follow all the sports all the time, why do you think it's important that this progress be made on the field for the country in general? >> because the n.f.l. literally owns one day of the week. sunday is dedicated to n.f.l. football. millions of followers. what we see from some of our wealthiest men that are n.f.l. owners, what we see from one of our most beloved games will infiltrate the minds of the culture. remember, stephen, the n.f.l. said that kneeling was disrespecting the flag. and so the entire world began to believe that kneeling was disrespecting the flag. so if the n.f.l. were to say it is imperative t

you think about muhammad ali and kareem abdul-jabbar.ink about michael jordan who, you know, notoriously really didn't come out and said, even during "the last dance" documentary, i'm not a politician. he came out and made 2020 with a tweet saying, enough is enough and speaking about racism. colin kaepernick was one of the first in recent times, you know, to sort of restart this kind of movement, but athletes are coming out all over right now, and standing up and being much more political, and i think now is the time to do it, and i think it is being embraced. >> right. so joy, do you feel that there's a problem with players who may be didn't take a knee, like giant player sam coonrod? >> i believe he didn't take it for religious reasons though he said. i don't -- i think that's just fine. lookit. here's what we've come to. three years ago, this is what trump told to a group of supporters during a campaign rally. wouldn't you love to see one of these nfl owners when someone disrespects our flag, to say, get that son of a bitch off the fi
