PITTSBURGH (AP) — College gymnasts across the country are using their voice to help impact social change. The Pitt women’s gymnastics team will wear leotards with the acronym for “Black Lives Matter” put in sequins on their left sleeves. At UCLA, the floor routines of Nia Dennis and Margzetta Frazier highlighting the influence of Black culture have gone viral. Pitt coach Samantha Snider says the sport is seeing a major culture shift, one that puts the power in the hands of the athletes instead of the coaches.
