I think all blacks should heed this warning, not just black athletes. This is very important, I hope all blacks comply with this NAACP advice.
If you decide to travel to Florida:
NAACP Travel Advisory for the State of Florida
The NAACP Board of Directors issued a formal travel advisory for the state of Florida. The travel advisory comes in direct response to Governor Ron DeSantis' aggressive attempts to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools.
