Good morning, Camden Chatters.
Last night, the Baltimore Orioles took a stand...by sitting out.
Not long before the scheduled first pitch of their series finale in Tampa, the Birds decided, after a players-only meeting, that they weren’t going to play.
They weren’t the only ones, of course. The Orioles’ game was one of seven postponements in the major leagues last night, adding to three that were postponed on Wednesday night along with the entire slate of NBA, WNBA, and NHL games and a slew of NFL practices. The player-led movement, sparked by the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday night, serves as a protest of systemic racism and social inequality following the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wis.
