Wednesday was a day the sports world won’t soon forget, as the Milwaukee Bucks refused to take the court for their playoff game against the Orlando Magic in response to the police shooting Jacob Blake seven times in the back in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the latest example of police violence against people of color in this country. The Bucks were followed by other teams in the NBA, much of the MLS, and a few teams in MLB.
The Red Sox and Blue Jays weren’t among those teams, as they played their game on Wednesday, something I expressed my frustration with in the game column following the final out.
