The Arizona Cardinals, Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans and Washington Football Team all chose to not practice Thursday in response to the shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man, in Wisconsin. The Detroit Lions canceled their practice Tuesday, protesting the incident involving Blake, and racial injustice. “It’s time for the shield to protect us.”On Wednesday night, the Washington Football Team announced it would not hold its practice at its home stadium on Thursday afternoon. Coach Dan Quinn said he would talk with his players, including the team’s social justice committee, later in the day. Players and teams from the WNBA, MLS and tennis also sat out their competitions Wednesday night.
