The Milwaukee Bucks started it — a general strike in protest of Kenosha police shooting 26-year-old Jacob Blake in the back seven times.
The NBA’s best team chose not to take the floor for its playoff game yesterday afternoon.
The rest of the NBA followed, as did the Milwaukee Brewers.
While the Bucks read a statement together as a team, Brewers players Christian Yelich, Ryan Braun and Brent Suter, along with manager Craig Counsell addressed the media.
The Brewers will makeup Wednesday’s game Thursday, playing a doubleheader, beginning at 4:10 p.m. The games will be seven innings long.
