On Wednesday, the Milwaukee Bucks NBA team didnt take the floor for their scheduled game against the Orlando Magic. It was in direct response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Shortly after, the team released a statement, demanding an audience with Wisconsins attorney general to discuss justice for Blake, and action from the wider league.

And while the Bucks were the first to walk out, the sentiment was brewing amongst players that something had to be done.

For teams who have been wearing jerseys emblazoned with messages like Black Lives Matter and Respect Us since the start of their bubble season, signs werent enough.
