It is unclear why the Liberty players did not come out to the floor to honor the anthem, nor why Cunningham was the only player to put her hand over her heart.

Classic "their motives may never be known" trope.

Their motives are crystal clear to me: Hate America and everything it stands for. m

Our best Middle East friend is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, believe it or not. It IS ALL ABOUT the petroleum and natural gas.
We won't be around when their resources are depleted...but they will eventually be depleted. THEN what will happen is unknown.

By then, MAYBE we'll have resources in outer space. There ARE tons of all the ores in existence. It's just a matter of reaching them.
That will be impossible since we do NOT have the fuel to reach so far away with what we have now.

That plus the weasel word "appeared"...
Sophie Cunningham appeared to be the only player who put her hand over her heart during the national anthem...
They just cannot bring themselves to write the obviously true statement "Sophie Cunningham was the ONLY PLAYER who put her hand over her heart during the national anthem..."

There was no "appeared" about it. The only surprise is that they didn't write "Sophie Cunningham ALLEGEDLY APPEARED to be the only player who put her hand over her heart during the national anthem..."

From Google Gemini:

Standard Routine: Since 2020, it has become common practice for the Liberty and other WNBA teams to remain off the floor during “The Star-Spangled Banner.” It began as a social justice and civil rights demonstration in 2020. This approach allows players with varying personal views to stay united as a team, avoiding individual actions from becoming a distraction

Perhaps this is their motive: they are a bunch of angry, black lesbians
