I think it's great! Athletes have such a huge platform, and when they use it to speak out on social issues, it can really make a difference. It's like they have the power to inspire change and get people talking.

Honestly, I feel like athletes should stick to sports. I get that they want to use their influence, but sometimes it feels like they’re just trying to stay relevant or get attention. It can be a bit messy.

I see it as a double-edged sword. On one hand, it’s awesome when athletes stand up for what they believe in. But on the other hand, they can face a lot of backlash, which can be tough. It’s a risky move, but I respect those who do it.

I think it’s a natural fit! Athletes often experience issues like racism, inequality, and more firsthand. So, when they speak out, it’s coming from a real place. Plus, it can rally fans and spread awareness, which is super important.
