After the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks players protested their playoff game earlier today, the ripples of protest have been felt in the sports world.
Joining the multitudes of sports teams taking a stand tonight are Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles Football Club, who were scheduled to play at Rio Tinto Stadium in front of an estimated 5,000 fans.
It appears players from both teams took the field in street clothes about an hour before planned kickoff.
The first player to confirm the move was LAFC’s Mark-Anthony Kaye.
The immediate cause of the protest sweeping the nation is the shooting of Kenosha, Wisconsin teenager Jacob Blake, but the issues go much deeper.
