How did the sports world respond to the death of Martin Luther King Jr.?

Early in the evening of April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered at the Lorraine Motel. The NBA and NHL were in the middle of the playoffs, Major League Baseball was nearly to Opening Day, and many other sports had space lined up on the calendar. Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni review how each league responded to the assassination of the civil rights leader, where the relationship athletes had to King influenced reactions, and what, if anything, we might learn from the past about how teams and leagues handle events like the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Phantom Island is presented by Homefield and produced by Michael Surber.
