En una jornada de cancelaciones de partidos en NBA, MLS y MLB por el tiroteo a Jacob Blake, varios peloteros de las Grandes Ligas expresaron su rechazo a la brutalidad policial.
En MLB, se cancelaron los partidos de la jornada del miércoles entre Milwaukee Brewers ante Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners ante San Diego Padres y Los Angeles Dodgers ante San Francisco Giants.
Dado el dolor de las comunidades de Wisconsin y otros sectores, tras el tiroteo a Jacob Blake, respetamos la decisión de varios jugadores de no jugar esta noche. MLB permanece unido por el cambio y seremos aliados en la lucha para acabar con el racismo y la injusticia. https://t.co/hhW4cbxljW

Ending police brutality is more important than sports

I am extremely proud to be a part of this group. We have listened, loved, and supported one another through this tough time. But I'm heartbroken for my brothers and teammates who fear for their lives and their families lives on a daily basis. This isn't about baseball right now-

Tonight I stand with my fellow professional athletes in protest of the injustices my people continue to suffer. I could not play this game I love so much tonight knowing the hurt and anguish my people continue to... https://t.co/nxUt02S64v

This is bigger than any sport. Period. The trauma is deeply rooted. As a white man, I will stand right along side Dee, Shed, Taijuan, Shef, Dunn, JP, CJ, KLew, Mallex, Fletch, Art. https://t.co/G8jlDKOVGd

Instead of watching us, we hope people will focus on the things more important than sports that are happening.
