Atlanta United and Inter Miami CF joined other teams in the sporting world by postponing their match scheduled for this evening in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a response due to the shooting of Jacob Blake by a police officer in Wisconsin on Sunday.
The postponements were touched off in the NBA, as the Bucks and Magic opted not to play tonight’s scheduled playoff game in Orlando in a show of solidarity. Games between the Rockets and Thunder, as well as the Lakers and the Trail Blazers, were later cancelled by the NBA as a result. In Major League Baseball, the Reds and Brewers opted not to play, while the WNBA cancelled all games scheduled for tonight.
