Day 169

• And now a showdown in the LA protests just into the morning:  They've been kettled into a tunnel and not let out.
• Latest racist claptrap:  NBA players now being told, trending on Twitter, to move to China.  Be careful.  Trump wins, and many MIGHT.     
• The NBA referees are staging a protest march this morning in support of the players, in front of tandem meetings of the players and the NBA Board of Governors.
• Current tea leaves are basically saying that the season is over if the Lakers and Clippers aren't part of it.
• In the NFL (so far today), the Colts, Jets, and Washington have cancelled practice in boycott protest over the situation.
• The NBA will continue the playoffs...  at some point.  Word as of right now is tomorrow.
  
• Tonight's three NBA games have been postponed.
• The Mets and Marlins took the field tonight, held a 42-second (Jackie Robinson) moment of silence, the first batter laid a BLM T-shirt on home plate, and the game was called off.
• Six other games were also called off for today.  The three postponements from yesterday were all played as 7-inning doubleheaders today.
• The only games played today at all were rescheduled doubleheaders.
  
• I'll have a(nother) blog post on all that as time and circumstances permit tonight.  It's clear this is getting an "All In" moment here.
• The NHL has called off all play for at least tonight and tomorrow as well.
• Legendary Arizona basketball coach Lute Olson passed away tonight.
• It appears as if MLB will try a post-season bubble.  A proposal for one has been sent to the players' union.  That is, of course, provided we GET that far!
