Former NBA star Adonal Foyle has always been outspoken when it comes to social justice issues and these days he has a lot to talk about.

The recent NBA boycott in protest of another black man being shot by a police officer has Foyle recalling his own encounter with police when he was a player with the Orlando Magic.

On this week’s edition of Florida’s Fourth Estate with Ginger and Matt, Foyle explains why the recent protest by NBA players is such a powerful statement.

He says being in a bubble while they are away from family and friends has forced the players to take a good look at what’s really happening in society right now.

Foyle says the days of expecting NBA players to shut up and dribble are over.
