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.

The only "Sparks" I know of.....
Well said. It’s past time for some very harsh words (and actions) against these creatures. I’m so beyond thankful tired of conservatives wanting to “play nice” and roll over. That’s why we ALWAYS lose.
I’ll take it one step further: I hope that racist pig from the Seahawks, named Bennett, and Odell Beckham suffer career ending injuries. They are damnable racists and they flaunt it.
If anyone is offended by that, I don’t care. It is past time to be a cruel & vicious as the Left.
The only person I know who attends these games is my lesbian cousin and her ‘wife’. They must have a lot of donation money propping up the WNBA.
Racist America-hating lesbians. The perfect Democrats.
Because it’s getting a lifeline from the nba. Take that away and it folds like a cheap suit.
