Carmelo Anthony again called on his fellow athletes to use their platforms to speak out on social issues in the wake of the shooting deaths last week of two African-American men and five Dallas police officers.The Knicks star wrote in a column for The Guardian newspaper?that athletes shouldnt be worried about losing potential endorsement income when speaking about social issues. He added that hes considering using his platform at the Rio Olympics to send a message.I do feel like this is a platform where we should -- we as athletes, we as Americans -- use it for something, Anthony said of the Summer Olympics, which open Aug. 5. Whether we make a statement out there or send a message, we can show the world that were united. Whatever way we want to do it, this is a chance to do something meaningful before an audience of billions. I dont know what that something is yet, but we still have time to figure it out.Anthony recently posted a similar message on Instagram in the wake of the shootings in Dallas.He reiterated that he isnt demanding that all athletes speak out on social issues. But he doesnt want the fear of losing out on endorsement dollars to be seen as a deterrent.We have one of the biggest platforms to speak out, one where people pay attention to what we have to say, whether its everyday civilians or those in positions of power. We have that influence. Its just a matter of if we want to use it or not, Anthony wrote in The Guardian. Everybody uses it for different reasons. But at a time like this, you have to put aside the politics of business and whether a sponsor or somebody from a company that you represent is going to call you about it. If youre a human being, this affects everybody.NBA commissioner Adam Silver commended Anthony on Tuesday for taking a strong stance in the wake of the recent gun violence across the country.I am absolutely in favor of players speaking out and speaking from the heart about whatever issues are important to them. Its how this country operates, Silver said after the NBAs Board of Governors meeting in Las Vegas. Ive had this direct conversation with many of our players, and Im not one to say they have an obligation to do it, but I think those who feel comfortable doing it and want to speak out, they have this incredible forum to do it, whether its through in a formal way through media members that are in this room or whether its through social media. I actually think it demonstrates that these are multidimensional people. They live in this society, and they have strong views about how things should be. So Im very encouraging of that.In his column for The Guardian, Anthony stressed that he didnt have the answers to solve the recent gun violence thats plagued the country. But he wanted to put pressure on political leaders to work toward finding a solution by continuing the national conversation on the issues.This is not really about politics, he wrote. Theres nothing political about taking a stand and speaking on what you believe in. The teams and the support systems around athletes urge them to stay away from politics, stay away from religion, stay away from this, stay away from that. But at certain times youve just got to put all of that aside and be a human being. That time is now. Matt Harvey Jersey .
