It should be noted because people seem to be forgetting the WNBA players were supporting Black Lives Matter and the police.
But, in a horrible PR move by the league they fined the players for wearing the shirts.
The WNBA has fined the New York Liberty, Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever and their players for wearing black warm up shirts in the wake of recent shootings by and against police officers.
“We are proud of WNBA players’ engagement and passionate advocacy for non-violent solutions to difficult social issues but expect them to comply with the league’s uniform guidelines,” WNBA President Lisa Borders said in a statement provided to The Associated Press on Wednesday night.
It should be noted when NBA players wore “I Can’t Breathe” shirts they weren’t fined.
