<Anchor> The

boycott of American professional sports players protesting racial discrimination continued today (28th). As Major League Toronto also joined, Ryu Hyun-jin's appearance was delayed.

This is Lee Sung-hoon.

<Reporter> The

Toronto team made a joint statement with the opposing team, Boston, protesting racism and announced that they would not play today.

[Director Charlie Monteyo/Toronto: I was also a victim of racism. If our player wants to speak up against racial discrimination, I fully support it.]

Ryu Hyun-jin's start today was delayed for one day before the Baltimore match tomorrow.

Seven games were canceled today, including Choo Shin-soo's Texas and Choi Man-man's Tampa Bay joining the boycott.

The New York Mets and Miami players lined up on the ground, followed by a 42-second silence to match the number of the first black player Jackie Robinson in the Majors.

St.Louis, who had to double-header eight times due to the COVID-19 outbreak, did not join the boycott.

Kim Gwang-hyun, who started against Pittsburgh, failed to achieve 2 wins due to the silence of the other players even though he made a good fight with 1 goal in his own book for 6 innings.

[Kim Gwang-Hyun/St. Louis pitcher: I think that if a mistake is made, the inning should not be scored, but it leads to a goal, so it seems that our team was chased in the second half.]

The North American Ice Hockey League playoffs could not be held, and the NBA decided to resume the playoffs tomorrow, with the first boycott of the game and the two consecutive days canceled.
