FULL TITLE: 'We agreed on unity and solidarity': Los Angeles Sparks leave the court before national anthem at Game 1 of WNBA finals after being inspired by the Pittsburgh Steelers
The Los Angeles Sparks walked off the basketball court ahead of the national anthem at Game 1 of the WNBA Finals in Minneapolis on Sunday and remained in their locker room until the song ended.
Their opponents, the Minnesota Lynx, stood on the court with their arms linked in Williams Arena on the University of Minnesota campus.
Sparks Forward Nneka Ogwumike said they returned to the locker room after warm ups as a sign of 'unity and solidarity'.
Some Sparks players wanted to stand for the anthem while others wanted to kneel or sit, so the team decided to remove themselves from court instead.
Ogwumike said the team were inspired by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Wow, I thought the WNBA folded years ago.

” ‘We agreed on unity and solidarity’:” Unlike that traitor Alajandro Villanueva with the steelers. /s
The brain dead just go along. Yup yup zug zug.

LOL
They are still around?.................
They should automatically lose the game.
Forfeited.
My Mom’s friend has a daughter who is a WNBA and Olympic coach. I doubt if she’d put up with this nonsense.
Cue Don Imus and a nappy headed something comment
If you’ve lost Nneka Ogwumike, you’ve lost America...
Attendance just went down 50% to 100 fans per game.
Won’t
Nobody
Be
Attending
A failed league propped up by guilt and feminism. Yeah they’re really sending a message out.
How would anyone know? This truly sounds like a “tree falling in the woods” moment.
Elena Kagan is a big fan of the WNBA.
I think you meant......100 fans per season.
They play here in Minneapolis but I have never heard anyone talk about them or anyone who has ever seen them play.
“Attendance just went down 50% to 100 fans per game.”
When you lose the lesbians you’ve lost the league. !
“They are still around?.................”
Not for long
