Breaking: Washington to postpone Thursday’s scrimmage to protest shooting of Jacob Blake

Washington Football Team will postpone Thursday's scrimmage at FedEx Field after the shooting of Jacob Blake, per source

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) August 27, 2020

It was reported by NBC Sports Washington’s JP Finlay on Wednesday night that the Washington Football Team would postpone their practice on Thursday — which was set to be a scrimmage taking place at FedEx Field — until further notice.

The postponement comes in the wake of the shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin, which led a number of sports leagues to halt operations in order to reflect and find how to use their platforms to incite change.

The first domino fell on Wednesday afternoon when the Milwaukee Bucks players boycotted their Game 5 NBA Playoff game against the Orlando Magic, refusing to play. Since then, a number of other teams and sporting leagues have joined in the boycott, demanding change.
