For something like this, it should be up to the players to decide if they want a pause or if they want to continue. At this point in time they are the game, and if they as a group collectively feel that they may lack focus, or they don't want to draw attention away from the incident by pushing on, they're the ones who will provide the best feedback.

It's a sensitive situation right now, and employers are best served by not forcing their employees to work when they are not comfortable doing so. Likewise the employer should not decide without some form of consultation with the employees to stop the games. The idea of sports being separate from the rest of the world, or the show must go on are ideals of the past. I would hope that these sorts of events will stop. But I expect that we are going to see more postponements of sporting events in the future. Things are still going to take a long time to change unfortunately.
