Morning sports update: Jackie Bradley Jr. spoke about his ‘responsibility’ to address racial injustice

On Wednesday, players in multiple sports leagues in the United States decided to not play games in an escalated effort to bring about change and an end to systemic racism.

The decision was first made by the Milwaukee Bucks in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin.

On a local level, Celtics players have spoken out on the issue, as have members of the Patriots.

I do not have the words to meet the depths of my frustration & sadness. But, I do know that the senseless killings & shootings of Black Americans by the police and vigilantes has to stop.
