After months of the world facing unprecedented challenges brought about by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the United State has been in a state of civil unrest since George Floyd died while in custody of Minneapolis police.
Protests erupted throughout Minnesota and spread to other states over the past week. The Black Lives Movement remains determined to bring about social change, end racism and police brutality.
Their messaging has been supported by several Los Angeles Dodgers players, and athletes, celebrities, businesses and other sports times across the globe. Major League Baseball has not publicly addressed the matter, but commissioner Rob Manfred did do so in an internal memo.
