NHL puts off 2 days of playoff games amid injustice protests

The NHL postponed two days of playoff games Thursday after withering criticism from Black players who said the league was slow to acknowledge the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin. It was made after members of the Hockey Diversity Alliance asked the NHL to postpone the playing of games, by saying: ''We strongly feel this sends a clear message that human rights take priority over sports.'' The alliance is made up of nine current and former minority players. Nearly a full day after the NBA and MLB saw games postponed over Blake's shooting last weekend, the NHL and its union made their announcement.
