00:00 >> Yeah, I did for myself more civically engaged.
00:03 I actually voted early this year.
00:05 I think the NCAA did a great job by giving players the opportunity to vote,
00:09 even if they haven't before, or even if they did before.
00:11 They gave us this opportunity to use our rights to vote this year.
00:14 I think it's important for everybody to vote.
00:16 There's been a lot of racial tension, especially this year.
00:19 I mean, it's always been around, but this lately has been wild.
00:23 So I think everybody has to use this opportunity to make the right decisions
00:27 and go out there and help in policies.
00:29 >> Well, first off, I think it's a great opportunity.
00:33 I think it's a great thing that NCAA did.
00:35 Just give everybody the opportunity to go out there and vote and
00:37 bring awareness to the situation, what's going on.
00:39 And allow players if they didn't have the chance to go vote or
00:42 if they didn't have the opportunity to have that.
00:44 So I think that was a good thing for them to do.
00:46 As far as me personally, I'm definitely getting more engaged.
00:49 Unfortunately, I can't vote cuz I'm not an American citizen, but
00:52 I'm definitely aware of what's going on and
00:54 just trying to educate myself as best as I can.
