We just came together as the leaders of the team-me, Davion and Olivier, and we decided this is something we wanted to do, to take a stand against what we're seeing in the world today. The sophomore leader of the group, Brooks told reporters, "I think the message pretty much stands for itself. Keion Brooks spoke on behalf of the players in the locker room. If they said, 'we're good by ourselves,' I probably wouldn't have been out there." They're trying to figure out life and making statements they feel they have to make, and I want to listen to what they're saying and then I'll support them if they want me to be there. He added, "These kids are good kids and they care about this country and all of the other stuff. "I said, 'tell me why,' and they said, 'this is why,' and I said, 'OK.' They said, 'will you kneel with us,' and I said, 'do you want me to,' and they said, 'yes we do,' and I said, 'OK, I'll kneel with you.'"
" I heard that they wanted to do it when we were on the way to the arena, so I called the three leaders in and I said, 'talk to me,' and they said they wanted to kneel. "We didn't have a whole lot of conversations," Calipari explained. After the game, John Calipari was asked what conversations, if any, the team had before the decision to kneel together.
