"Athletes have really found their voice": pros1 push dialogue on racism2

The sports world almost stopped on a dime3 as NBA teams, and even some baseball teams, followed the lead of the Milwaukee Bucks4 and declined to play in recognition of the shooting of Jacob Blake, the Black man shot and paralyzed August, 23 by Kenosha, Wisconsin police.

The players have agreed to resume play tonight. But, it is an extraordinary moment in sports that brought attention to racial injustices5 and police brutality6 in America.

On Tuesday, the Detroit Lions made the decision to cancel their training camp practice to take a stand against the shooting of Blake. They wore face masks and displayed several messages. One message on a large whiteboard and read, "The World Can't Go On."

The Detroit Lions were one of the first teams to strike.

“Certainly, they were a bit of a trendsetter, ” said John Niyo.

Niyo is a reporter for The Detroit News who has been covering the sports strikes in Detroit.

Many other sports teams followed suit and canceled practices and games. Niyo stated that teams have realized the potential of their platforms in recent years and are beginning to use it for political activism, despite their fan’s opposition7.

“It’s been a tough year for the stick-to-sports crowd, starting with the pandemic, and then particularly the last few months on the subject for racial justice,” Niyo said. “I mean, athletes have really found their voice, and at least in the pro-ranks, they’ve started to understand the power they wield8.”

While not all sports team owners have agreed with teams taking political stances, the Ford9 family, who owns the Detroit Lions, has been supportive of the Lion’s message and decision to cancel practice.

“I think this is a team [the Lions] that has found its voice too, and an organization that, I mean they’re aware of the city they’re in, and the climate they’re in, but they’re aware of what their players are saying and feeling and speaking. Finally,” Niyo said.
