Brooklyn Nets warm up in ‘No Place For Hate’ shirts with ADL logo
(JTA) — The Brooklyn Nets warmed up in shirts that read “No Place For Hate” and bore the logo of the Anti-Defamation League on Sunday night, before a game against the Atlanta Hawks at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
“No Place for Hate” is the ADL’s education program for combating bias, bullying and hatred in public schools.
The campaign was started as the number of anti-Semitic attacks has risen recently across the New York area, particularly in the borough of Brooklyn.
