Nights Sport: Helene Elliot on US sport

From Nights, 9:13 pm on 15 June 2020

Helene Elliot from the LA times tells us how several codes are looking at a return to playing sport, including Basketball, hockey and baseball. Prominent athletes join protests for equality. And the National Football League (and US National soccer team) vow to no longer penalise athletes for kneeling during the US national anthem.
