With all the unrest taking place in Minnesota between the Derek Chauvin murder trial and the latest police killing involving Daunte Wright, the city has been at a breaking point with the ongoing protests. Out of respect for the recent police shooting death that took place earlier this week, sports teams in that area decided to postpone their respective games.
The Minnesota Twins released a statement pertaining to the police shooting:
“Out of respect for the tragic events that occurred yesterday in Brooklyn Center, and following the additional details in this evolving situation, the Minnesota Twins have decided it is in the best interests of our fans, staff, players, and community to not play today’s game.
