Jeff Larentowicz addresses the match postponement vs Inter Miami CF
Wednesday night, the Atlanta United match against Inter Miami was postponed as players from both teams came to a collective agreement not to play the match. The decision was made to draw attention to the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin and broader social injustice, and was spurred by the Milwaukee Bucks’ boycott of their NBA Playoff game against the Orlando Magic. The Bucks’ decision set off a domino effect in the sports world as the remainder of Wednesday’s NBA and WNBA games players called off their Wednesday night matches were postponed along with three MLB games and four other MLS matches.
