Washington Post: NBA 'brave' to ally with anti-gun group

The Washington Post’s editorial board hailed the National Basketball Association’s decision to team up with an anti-gun group to speak out against firearm-related violence, saying the move was pretty “brave.”

“Sports figures are supposed to be role models, but too often they disappoint. Not so with the National Basketball Association and its brave decision to speak out against gun violence,” they wrote this week. “In charting a new course in civic responsibility, the NBA sets a standard that we hope other organizations follow.”
