Magic Johnson is known to be one of the best players in NBA history. After winning five titles as the star point guard of the “Showtime Lakers,” Johnson went on to become a successful businessman and a front office executive for the Los Angles Lakers.
Recently, Michigan State University has been involved in a sexual abuse scandal. Johnson, who is an alumni, wasted no time to condemn those involved on Twitter and offer his support.
If anyone was aware of the sexual assault happening to women on the MSU campus from the office of the President, Board of Trustees, athletic department, faculty & campus police, and didn’t say or do anything about it, they should be fired. Cookie and I stand in support of the victims and their families as they embark on the road to recovery; and I support the movement to hold everyone involved accountable. The roles of the new President, Board of Trustees, athletic department, faculty, campus police and students will be to work together to create new policies and procedures to ensure this never happens again. As a Spartan, I love MSU and want to work with Coach Izzo, the administration, and the students to be a part of the solution in any way that I can.
Johnson was once a member of the Michigan State Spartans before being drafted by the Lakers with the first overall pick in 1979. Johnson is an NBA Hall-of-Famer, and is widely considered to be the NBA's best point guard ever. Using his platform, Johnson decided to step up and speak out on Michigan State's sexual abuse allegations. Hopefully, these comments will truly make a difference.
