The WNBA’s season began Saturday with players from the Seattle Storm and New York Liberty walking off the court as the national anthem played, in a message for racial justice as protests around the country continue. The players jointly then dedicated 26 seconds of silence and the entire season to Breonna Taylor.
“We are dedicating this season to Breonna Taylor — an outstanding EMT who was murdered over 130 days ago in her home,” Layshia Clarendon, a player for New York Liberty said before the game began. Taylor was shot and killed by Louisville Metro police after they entered her Kentucky home in March.
Clarendon also said the season would be dedicated to the “Say Her Name Campaign — a campaign committed to saying the names and fighting for justice for Black women” who are “so often forgotten in this fight for justice.”

Who cares?? As if they have much of a fan base to begin with. Male hormone taking woman. No thanks.
ReplyDeleteThey need a lesson in fighting embarrassment...... bunch of turds are simple.
ReplyDeleteDisgraceful, they have no right to be representing this great country.
ReplyDeleteShould never play the National Anthem when showing the President on the Jumbotron.
ReplyDeleteWho watches anyway
ReplyDeleteHey! If you have no respect for this country, please move to some other nation. Oh--and let us know how things turn out.
ReplyDeleteSend them to defend our country for two years and let's see how they feel then.
ReplyDeleteWould not work. They would all go AWOL and betray our country as they are already doing. We should buy them a one way ticket to any country of their choosing and have them give up their American citizenship. Would be money well spent.
DeleteSend them to defend our country for two years and let's see how they feel then. The National Anthem being played is a separate issue. If you would like to protest do it on your own time and don't disrespect others.
ReplyDeleteTo an audience of none.WNBA it offends me tear it down. What they stand for its ear pollution
ReplyDeleteThese Luciferian Lies and mindless blind obedience will only lead to more turmoil
I already don't spend a dine to watch or support this crappy sport Can't wait to see the outcome of this move. I'm sure it will be something "racial" that causes them to fold.
ReplyDeleteAll 9 fans support them
ReplyDeletesoon ALL sports will ONLY be broadcast on the BET channel...

ReplyDeleteNo effort required to ignore them; never took any interest. They are a solution to a problem that never existed. Watching the test pattern would be more scintillating.
I like and watch the WNBA, said no one ever.
ReplyDeleteSo much for the Lesbian League.....history!!
ReplyDeleteI’d say boycott but America already did for no reason other than they suck
ReplyDeletei didn't even know the league still existed
ReplyDeleteSad - since they can do anything during the game rather than doing it during the United States of America's National Anthem.
ReplyDeleteStart the game and then stop unexpectedly. It would garner more attention, more shock, more awe and be on all television news. Take the mic at mid court and let everyone know why.
Don't do whats already been done. It hurts everyone and thats not the point.
what wnba?
ReplyDeletei didn't know that league still existed. Are they still crying because they don't get paid like NBA players?
ReplyDeleteum... what's the WNBA? Is that a thing?
ReplyDeleteI hope all the sports go broke for this idiotic behavior.
ReplyDeleteWalk off, then keep walking.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the WNBA???
ReplyDeleteWnba that's still a thing? Wow
ReplyDeleteScrew those disrespectful Douche Bags!
ReplyDeleteFire everyone of their black asses. Let them go back to living in the ghetto they were in before they learned to bounce a ball.
ReplyDeleteIf a tree falls in the forest and no one is around does it still make a noise ?
