Why not? A lot of young people look up to these athletes. KG and T-Mac, though it may not be their intent, are showing people that NBA superstars aren't just a bunch of super fit, over-paid, athletic machines; they have developed enough of an opinion for themselves to urge others to follow, to do something worthwhile. The message these two are sending is fundamentally good. Why squash it? “…but there’s no reason for sports and politics to collide.”
