White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito is among the baseball players speaking out on racial inequality and the police shooting of Jacob Blake: ‘That’s unacceptable. That shouldn’t be happening in a developed country.’

Thursday, the Chicago White Sox pitcher discussed a variety of topics with reporters in the aftermath of postponements in many sports as a call to spark change following the Kenosha police shooting of Jacob Blake.

“(This started with) the NBA, and I should say the WNBA, too, because the women in the WNBA really seem to be on the forefront as far as pushing for change, social justice,” Giolito said Thursday. “It’s obviously a very strange time in this country. What went down with Jacob Blake, in my mind, that’s unacceptable. That shouldn’t be happening in a developed country.
