NBA Activism; Kushner’s Case for Four More Years; TikTok’s CEO Turnover

In protest of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, NBA players boycotted playoff games on Wednesday. Basketball teams across the league have postponed games in support of the protest, and teams in the WNBA, MLB, and MLS have all followed suit. CNBC’s Jabari Young and Patrick Rishe, Sports Business Program Director at Washington University in St. Louis, explain the power of the player in sports and activism. Senior Adviser and son-in-law to President Trump Jared Kushner makes the case for the President’s reelection ahead of the fourth and final night of the 2020 Republican National Convention. Plus, TikTok CEO Kevin Mayer is out after only a few months on the job, and Jeff Bezos has hit a $200 billion record.
