Victor Wembanyama did the math, just like every one of us does every day.
He added up what matters to him. Calculated what his conscience would let him abide. Weighed the power of his voice and the price of using it.
Then he spoke his mind. Why that matters:

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

People who say this are clearly speaking aspirationally about a shared American creed they hold dear. “Have you heard of the Trail of Tears?” is not a very helpful response, because they probably have and the priority right now is moral opposition to fascism and not fake-educating each other.

How Buss family infighting drove the $10B sale of the Lakers
