Long before arriving in the WNBA's bubble at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, the league's players resolved to devote their 2020 season to Breonna Taylor.

Now, 195 days after her death and one day after a grand jury neglected to charge any of the three police officers who fatally shot her, the players are speaking out.

Prior to the Minnesota Lynx's and Seattle Storm's WNBA playoff semifinal matchup Thursday night, Lynx superstar Napheesa Collier read a statement in response to the sentencing in Taylor's case on behalf of all of the players in the league. Connecticut Sun star Jasmine Thomas read the same statement before tipoff of the second game of the night.

This is a textbook case of arrogant ignorance.

The WNBA is UNWATCHABLE. I would call it boring but boring would be a massive understatement.

Breanna accompanied her drug dealer boyfriend during drug runs, making her an involved accomplish. She was in effect part of a drug distribution scheme, a drug dealer.

I don’t think I can not watch professional sports any harder than I am now, but I’m sure gonna try.

The NBA; collective IQ of about 40 (I had to round up) - from top to bottom. (And the NFL only slightly higher.)

This thread already has more replies than the WNBA has viewers.

If you asked any one of them to tell you the facts of the case they wouldn’t be able to do it.

So sick of this!

That may be true, but she wasn’t shooting at the police at that time.

It is tiresome, but in the end I don’t know a single person impacted by this “statement”. Our entertainment caste continues being irrelevant; nice to see them put in their place by the ChiCom flu. It really separated the wheat from the chaff in terms of what people do with their lives...

The WNBA is heavily subsidized by the NBA—in other words, it is welfare for basketball players.

Leftists always want somebody else to pay the freight—while they virtue signal.

What's a WNBA?

Wait! Don't tell me. I don't want to know. I take the question back.

First rule of holes, quit diggin’ when you can’t see out. Supreme dumbassery going on here. Simple solution. Don’t get involved with drugs, avoid being investigated by the popo. Sort of like, don’t try passing phony $20 bills and the cops won’t be called.

You are correct. These games are boring enough without the league intrusion and opinion of people who haven’t read the official police report. This was not a no knock warrant, the loser drug dealing boyfriend fired first, and she knowingly lived with him. It was her choice.
