YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr gave a passionate plea for gun control after the fatal mass shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Kerr said he didn’t want to talk about basketball during a press conference in Dallas.

LeBron James made no effort to hide his anger. Jayson Tatum of the Boston Celtics, a young father, called the news “devastating.”

The sports world reacted swiftly Tuesday to the news of an 18-year-old gunman opening fire at an elementary school in Uvalde and killing at least 19 children.

It was the deadliest shooting at a US grade school since a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut, almost a decade ago.

"I'm tired of the moments of silence. Enough. There's 50 senators right now who refuse to vote on HR8, which is a background check rule that the House passed a couple years ago. It's been sitting there for two years. And there's a reason they won't vote on it: to hold onto power," Kerr said.

He spoke before his team faced the Dallas Mavericks in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals.
