So, I have made a call to all of my UCLA friends who are privileged to be playing professional sports, and I have asked them to join me in a public awareness campaign that we call, "We Should Not Be the Only Ones." I, and the other athletes who have joined me, think we should not be the only ones to get an education, because we can perform well on a field or on a court. We have little interest in politics, but we have a large interest in human rights. It should be a simple right for a young person of color in this country to have access to higher public education. Let's start recruiting students, the way they recruited me and the rest of my friends, so we don't get to a point where every black student on campus is an athlete.
