Earlier today, the Milwaukee Bucks and several other NBA teams boycotted their playoff game over the shooting of Jacob Blake.
Since then, a few Major League Baseball teams have boycotted their games, and a TV host walked off a live set.
Kenny Smith, who hosts NBA on TNT with Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and Ernie Johnson, walked off the set tonight in a show of solidarity with the NBA players who are boycotting Wednesday's playoff games.
Smith says as a former player and a black man, he felt the need to walk off the show.
Ernie Johnson said he respects his decision and they continued on with the show.
