The reasoning behind the letter is due to Texas Governor Greg Abbott and his recent decision-making regarding voting rights and reproductive care.
Two members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have released a letter encouraging professional athletes to not sign with any Texas teams.
"Over the past few months, legislators in Texas have passed archaic policies, disguised as laws, that directly violate privacy rights and a woman's freedom to choose, restrict access to free and fair elections for Black and brown voters, and increase the risk of contracting coronavirus." Both men then went on to say"if you are a woman, Black, or want to lower your chances of dying from coronavirus, avoid Texas."
