On this day 4 years ago, Colin Kaepernick took a knee for the first time in protest of racial injustice. Today, sports across 4 leagues halted.
“We are expected to play at a high level, give maximum effort and hold each other accountable. We hold ourselves to that standard, and in this moment, we are demanding the same from our lawmakers and law enforcement.” [Milwaukee Bucks’s Players Statement]
#NBAboycott #MLBboycott #WNBAboycott #MLSboycott #✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
I want to reiterate someting I saw AOC say on twitter:
This isn’t a boycott - that’s consumers refusing to purchase.
THIS IS A STRIKE. Workers are witholding labor to make their case.
Good.
Plus! This is a WILDCAT strike, meaning they are all in violation of their contract by doing this. All of them are risking their jobs and paychecks.
