In a typically awkward way, Major League Baseball has been pulled into America’s discussion about racial injustice. After 30 to 40 minutes of discussion, the players decided to not play. In recent seasons, the percentage of Black players has hovered around 8%. The three games postponed Wednesday — the Cincinnati Reds and Brewers in Milwaukee, Seattle Mariners and Padres in San Diego and the Los Angeles Dodgers and Giants in San Francisco — were being made up as part of doubleheaders Thursday. NBA officials later announced that all three of the day’s scheduled playoff games had been postponed, and games scheduled Thursday also weren't played.
