Description

It’s become bigger than a mere sports story. When the Milwaukee Bucks decided not to take the court last night, they were sending a statement on the police shooting of Jacob Blake in nearby Kenosha, Wis., and the Black Lives Matter movement as a whole. Other teams quickly followed suit, and NBA, MLB, WNBA and MLS games were postponed in solidarity.Sports legal analyst Exavier Pope weighs in, along with former Bulls great Craig Hodges and former Bears linebacker Sam Acho.
