Garrett Temple latest Net to reveal which social justice message he’ll dawn in Disney

Joe Harris, Dzanan Musa and Caris LeVert have each decided on which social justice messages they will wear on their jerseys in Disney.

Multiple Brooklyn Nets players have announced they intend to take advantage of the opportunity to wear social justice messages on the backs of their uniforms,

Dzanan Musa will have “Equality & Peace” across his back. Joe Harris’ first option is “Equality,” and his second is “Vote.” Caris LeVert will dawn “Black Lives Matter.”

Garrett Temple, who has spoken at length about the social justice issues in America, has now decided what he will wear across his back in the Disney bubble. During his appearance on CNN on Friday, Temple revealed he has chosen “Education Reform” as his message.

During a Zoom call with reporters, Temple explained what went into his decision, per Ian Begley of SNY:

I’ve seen a lot of guys say putting stuff on their jerseys is really just window dressing and if that’s what they believe then that’s up to them. There are so many different causes to tackle, unfortunately in our community. We in the Black community have been marginalized so much, there’s so many different things that need to change in order to allow us to get better chances. I think education is something that’s very much needed. It’s fallen by the wayside in most cases. The public school system isn’t nearly where it needs to be in a country as powerful as ours.

Allowing people to be educated, allowing people to learn more things, maybe even changing some curriculum to make things more applicable to real-life scenarios, I think is something that really needs to happen. And give people more of an opportunity, once they get out of school, to use that education to make a better living for themselves and be contributors to society in an economic way. So education has been very important to me and my family. I know how much it can help and change someone’s life.

According to Marc Spears of The Undefeated, the other social justice message players can that Nets players have either not chosen or not revealed yet are as follows:

Say Their Names, I Can’t Breathe, Justice, Freedom, Enough, Power to the People, Justice Now, Say Her Name, Sí Se Puede (Yes We Can), Liberation, See Us, Hear Us, Respect Us, Love Us, Listen, Listen to Us, Stand Up, Ally, Anti-Racist, I Am A Man, Speak Up, How Many More, Group Economics, and Mentor.
