8月27日，据美国媒体报道，因为抗议美国警察枪杀雅各布·布莱克事件，美国数项重大体育赛事被迫取消，其中包括美国职业篮球联赛、美国女子职业篮球联赛、美国职业棒球大联盟和美国职业足球大联盟。

这些球员和教练对布莱克事件感到愤怒。据美媒报道，23日下午5时左右，布莱克在基诺沙市路上被三名警察拦截。社交媒体上流传的视频片段显示，三名警察把枪口对准了在一辆SUV附近走动的布莱克。当布莱克打开车门准备坐下时，一名警察抓住他的衬衫并向其开火。听到7声枪声，目击者大声尖叫。布莱克伤势严重，事发后被直升机送往医院。

这次罢工得到了美国前总统奥巴马的公开支持，他周三晚些时候在推特上写道：“我支持雄鹿队的球员们坚持自己的信仰......这需要社会各界支持我们的价值观。”

Several major sporting events in the U.S. were forced to be canceled on Wednesday as players from the NBA, WNBA, MLB and MLS have made the bold and unprecedented move of boycotting games in protest at the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

Several players and coaches were infuriated by the infamous incident with Blake, an African-American man shot seven times in the back while attempting to enter his vehicle on Sunday. The 29-year-old is paralyzed from the waist down and protests have engulfed Kenosha, Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin-based Milwaukee Bucks were the first to make the decision to boycott Game 5 of their NBA playoff game with the Orlando Magic.

"Over the last few days in our home state of Wisconsin, we've seen the horrendous video of Jacob Blake being shot in the back seven times by a police officer in Kenosha, and the additional shooting of protestors," the Bucks players said in a statement. "Despite the overwhelming plea for change, there has been no action, so our focus today cannot be on basketball."

The walkout was publicly supported by former U.S. President Barack Obama, who tweeted later on Wednesday: "I commend the players on the Bucks for standing up for what they believe in... It's going to take all our institutions to stand up for our values."

雄鹿队的老板表示他们事先并不知道球员们的计划，但是支持他们。“带来改变的唯一途径是让人们看到正在我们面前发生的种族不平等。”

雄鹿队的高级副总裁亚历克斯·拉斯里发推说：“有些事情比篮球更重要，必须做出改变。我为我们的球员感到无比自豪，我们全力支持全体球员的选择。”

今天NBA三场比赛——雄鹿对魔术，火箭对雷霆，湖人对开拓者的比赛都被推迟。每个系列赛的第五场比赛，联盟将会重新安排。” NBA联盟在一份声明中证实。

洛杉矶湖人队的超级巨星勒布朗·詹姆斯在推特上表达了他对布莱克事件的愤怒。“我们要求改变。我讨厌这种暴力执法。”

几名NFL球员也在社交媒体上表达了对雄鹿队的支持，“NBA正在向我们展示黑人应该被平等对待。”

The Bucks ownership confirmed they were not aware ahead of time of what the players were planning but supported them. "The only way to bring about change is to shine a light on racial injustices that are happening in front of us," said co-owners Marc Lasry, Wes Edens and Jamie Dinan.

The Bucks' senior vice president, Alex Lasry, tweeted: "Some things are bigger than basketball. The stand taken today by the players and organization shows that we're fed up. Enough is enough. Change needs to happen. I'm incredibly proud of our guys and we stand 100% behind our players ready to assist and bring about real change."

On an extraordinary day for NBA, Wednesday's other two playoff showdowns were also later called off. "Today's three games – Bucks vs. Magic, Houston Rockets vs. Oklahoma City Thunder and Los Angeles Lakers vs. Portland Trail Blazers – have been postponed. Game 5 of each series will be rescheduled," the league confirmed in a statement.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James took to Twitter to express his anger. "WE DEMAND CHANGE. SICK OF IT," James wrote.

Several NFL players voiced support for the Bucks on social media. "NBA is showing us how it's done," wrote Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills. "Time to connect with local activists to help formulate demands."

抵制活动也迅速蔓延到其他体育项目上。

两届大满贯冠军大阪直美宣布退出周四在纽约举行的WTA西部和南方公开赛（WTA Western Southern Open)半决赛，针对种族不平等的抗议已经蔓延到网球领域。

“在成为一名运动员之前，我是一名黑人女性。作为一名黑人女性，相较于网球比赛，我认为布莱克事件更值得引起重视。”大阪在推特上说。

“我不希望在我不打球的情况下发生任何恶性的事件，但如果我能在一项白人占多数的运动中开始声援黑人的权利，那就是跨出了正确的一步。”

“看着警察对黑人的暴力执法，我觉得很难受。我已经厌倦了每隔几天在社交媒体上就会出现新的为黑人声讨权利的标签，我也厌倦了一遍又一遍地进行同样的声援。这样的恶性事件何时才能停止呢?”

Protests against racial injustice have spread to tennis as two-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka announced that she has withdrawn from her WTA Western Southern Open semi-final match in New York on Thursday.

"Before I am an athlete, I am a black woman. And as a black woman I feel as though there are much more important matters at hand that need immediate attention, rather than watching me play tennis," Osaka said on Twitter.

"I don't expect anything drastic to happen with me not playing, but if I can get a conversation started in a majority white sport I consider that a step in the right direction."

"Watching the continued genocide of Black people at the hand of the police is honestly making me sick to my stomach. I'm exhausted from having a new hashtag pop up every few days and I'm extremely tired of having this same conversation over and over again. When will it ever be enough?" she added.
