Ja Morant’s NSFW idea for his personalized jersey
對於客製化球衣 Ja Morant有個兒童不宜的想法

Memphis Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant has a rather bold statement he would like
to make ahead of the NBA restart in Orlando, Florida.
在要前進出發至奧蘭多打球前，灰熊菜鳥Ja Morant有個相當大膽的想法。

The league will allow players to replace their respective names with social
causes or statements on the back of their jerseys.
聯盟將允許球員將球衣可以因為社會因素或者要做陳述，可在背後原本名字的部分作修
改。

However, Morant apparently wants to put a blunt message for police forces in
the wake of social unrest and protest against police brutality.
不過，針對現在社會不安以及對於警察暴力的抗議，Morant想要直截了當放要給警察的訊息在球衣上。

Aside from the numerous incidents of police violence perpetrated against
Black Americans as of late, numerous studies — including one from Michigan
State University — show Black people are far more likely to be wrongfully
convicted for drug crimes.
除了最近許多警察暴力針對黑人的事件之外，許多研究指出--包括了密西根州大的研究--顯示黑人更可能會因為毒品案被錯誤地定罪。

For his part, the Grizzlies rising star does not seem to be playing around
with this idea. He indicated as much on Twitter:
對於這為灰熊新起之秀Morant來說，這似乎不只是一個玩玩的想法，他在推特上也寫了：

The Grizzlies rookie has not been afraid to make his voice heard amid a monthof tension with respect to racial injustice in America.
美國在過去這個月因為種族不平等的因素呈現緊張狀態，但是這為灰熊菜鳥並不害怕發
聲。

Ja Morant is already taking up the mantle of a leader in the Grizzlies lockerroom, and he is also hoping to potentially play spoiler in Orlando.
Ja Morant已經在灰熊休息室裡擔任起領導者的角色，他也希望在奧蘭多可以扮演讓人掃興的角色。

Memphis will head to Orange County as the eighth seed in the Western
Conference. They open their eight-game slate with a match-up against the
ninth-seeded Portland Trail Blazers on July 31.
灰熊會以西區第八順位去奧蘭多打球，7/31那天他們會面對第九種子阿拓拉開這接下來八場比賽的序幕。

Although the Grizzlies cannot move up to the seventh seed — they are seven
games back of the Dallas Mavericks — they have the advantage of needing just
one win in a potential play-in tournament in order to move into the playoff
bracket.
雖然灰熊不可能爬的到第七位--他們落後小牛有7場勝差--但是在若需要加賽的狀況下，他們有著只要贏一場就可以進季後賽的優勢。

Fans could very well see Morant and LeBron square off in the first round.
Whether the NBA allows Ja to have profane language on the back of his jersey
is another story.
粉絲很有可能會在季後賽第一輪看到Morant跟LBJ對決，至於聯盟會不會讓Morant那嗆爆的詞語放在球衣背後就是另外的事情了。

Morant把原本的推特刪掉，另外貼了聲明：https://tinyurl.com/yc3umxgd
"I want to first apologize for reposting something that didn’t clearly and
accurately convey what I wanted to share. My post was intended to focus on
the bad cops who get away with the murder of unarmed Black men and women, andthose who continue to harass peaceful BLACK LIVES MATTER protestors.
「我想要先跟大家道歉，重新寫推特，把之前我想要跟大家分享但是沒有傳遞清楚的部分說明清楚。我原本的推特是要著重在那些殺害沒有武器的黑人，以及不停騷擾和平抗議運動BLACK LIVES MATTER人士的那些壞警察們。

I know there are good cops “12” out there. I know some, and a few are
family. I am thankful to the cops at Murray State who took care of me, and
the cops who continue to watch over me with the Grizzlies. We NEED good cops
to step up and make sure other cops are not abusing their power.
我知道在警察群裡有好的警察，我知道，有一些還是我的家人。我很感謝在Murray州大照顧我的警察人員，以及在灰熊時照看我的警察們。我們需要好警察站出來，確保其他警察不會濫用他們的權力。

There have been too many Black lives taken by police that could have been
prevented. You may see me as just a basketball player and I may lose fans fortaking a stand, but I won’t stay silent.
有太多被警察奪走的黑人生命是可以避免的，大家可能把我僅僅視為是籃球員，認為我會因為表示我的立場會喪失球迷，但是我是不會禁聲的。

BLACK LIVES MATTER!! Where’s the justice for Breonna Taylor?? And the other
countless innocent Black lives that have been taken at the hands of dirty
cops with no convictions?"
黑人的命也是命!!Breonna Taylor的正義在哪裡？那些無數無辜因為骯髒警察殺害卻沒定罪的黑人生命，他們的正義呢？」
