to me this is the slippery slope. Which things cause you to sit out games? Which things cause teams to send out tweets. Here in Canada many first nations do not have potable water - should the flames players sit out a game for that? should the flames tweet about that?
which events make the cut?

The decisions at the time were mostly player driven decisions to sit out. It started with Black players who took the police killing of another Black man personally. It all started with the NBA where the majority of players are Black Americans. I don't know that it makes much sense for the Flames to be Tweeting about this case, but leagues that make their money from marketing their Black players absolutely should be supporting them, and they probably wouldn't have a decade or two ago.
