National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts expressed outrage over the mob that stormed the United States Capitol Building in Washington on Wednesday and how it reflected on racial double-standards in America.
Roberts told ESPN that her contact with multiple NBA players throughout the afternoon kept returning to the contrast between the lawless scene of President Donald Trump's supporters storming the Capitol with the Tuesday announcement that the police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin would not face any charges in the shooting of Jacob Blake.
In the aftermath of the Blake shooting in August, the Milwaukee Bucks decided against playing a playoff game against the Orlando Magic in the league's bubble at the Walt Disney World resort.
