Yesterday, players in the NBA, MLB, NWBA, and MLS made the decision not to play in response to Jacob Blake being shot in the back seven times by Kenosha, WI police. Not every team in those leagues did, but it was a powerful moment of athletes of various sports saying enough is enough.
Things happened differently in the NHL. The Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning had a moment of silence before the game while nothing happened before the Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks game.
People took notice.
