Jonathan Isaac 成為 NBA 重啟後第一位沒有穿 Black Lives Matter 上衣以及單膝跪地的球員
在 NBA 停賽期間，非裔男子 George Floyd 被警察壓制致死，使得原本就已經岌岌可危的種族議題因此大爆發。
而非裔球員佔多數的 NBA 在這次事件中自然會有所表示，除了在各遊行中都可見球員的身影外，官方也同意讓球員選擇在球衣背後繡上各種標語以表明自己的立場，且把「Black Lives Matter」直接印在球場地板上。
在開賽唱美國國歌時，多數球員都單膝跪地，此舉出自於 NFL 舊金山四九人隊四分衛 Colin Karpernick 在抗議美國種族歧視時表達拒絕向美國國旗致敬的動作。不過在今天魔術對籃網的比賽，魔術前鋒 Jonathan Isaac 並沒有跟著球員一起跪地，也沒有穿上寫著 Black Lives Matter 的上衣，以下是他的說法:
"I believe that Black Lives Matter. A lot went into my decision, and part of it is, I thought that kneeling or wearing the Black Lives Matter t-shirt doesn't go hand-in-hand with supporting Black lives. So I felt like, just me personally, what is that I believe is taking on a stance that, I do believe that Black lives matter, but I just felt like it was a decision that I had to make, and I didn't feel like putting that shirt on and kneeling went hand in hand with supporting Black lives. I
believe that for myself, my life has been supported by gospel, Jesus Christ, and everyone is made in the image of God and that we all forge through God's glory.
"我的確相信 Black Lives Matter ，但我認為穿上標語衣服或者在唱國歌時單膝跪地不能與支持種族議題劃上等號。"
"我的生命被耶穌所支持著，這一切都是上帝的旨意，我們都追隨著上帝的榮耀前進。"
Each and every one of us do things that we shouldn't do and say things that we shouldn't say. We hate and dislike things that we shouldn't hate and dislike, and sometimes it gets to a point where we point fingers, whose evil is worse, and sometimes it comes down to whose evil is most visible. So I felt like I wanted to take a stand on, we all make mistakes, but I think that the gospel of Jesus Christ is that there's grace for us, and that Jesus came and died for our sins and that if we all come
to an understanding of that and that God wants to have a relationship with us, that we can get kept all of the things in our world that our messed up, jacked up.
"我們都曾做過我們不該做的事情，或說過我們不該說的話，我們都曾厭惡那些我們不該厭惡的事情，有時我們甚至會指責彼此的惡行並比較孰惡。"
"所以我覺得，我想表達的是:我們都會犯錯，但在耶穌的福音中都會有恩典在我們其中，耶穌為我們的罪而死，如果我們能了解這件事情，以及上帝想與我們產生的連結，我們就能導正我們搞砸的事情。"
I think when you look around, racism isn't the only thing that plagues our society, that plagues our nation, that plagues our world, and I think coming together on that message that we want to get past not only racism but everything that plagues as us as a society, I feel like the answer to that is gospel."
"當我們環顧四周，種族歧視不是唯一一件困擾侵害我們社會、國家和全世界的事情，我們得團結起來，為得不僅要跨過種族歧視的陰影，還得克服每一件侵害我們的事，我認為答案就來自於上帝的福音"
心得:
是個虔誠的基督徒呢！而的確，每個人都有權利用自己的方式支持自己心中的理念，只要理念正確，就值得被尊重祝福。
