Matches in a number of US sports have been postponed after some teams and sportspeople decided to boycott games in protest at the shooting by police of Jacob Blake.
It started with basketball as the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks - from Blake's home state - announced they wouldn't play. Shortly afterwards the remaining games in the NBA and WNBA were postponed. Since then, tennis star Naomi Osaka has pulled out of a semi final match in Cincinnati, baseball games have been postponed, and in Major League Soccer, 5 out of their 6 scheduled matches were put back after footballers decided not to play.
One of those players is Kei Kamara of the Colorado Rapids.
"If we play these games we're distracting people... from the bigger picture of what's happening in the country and around the world"
