The WNBA season kicked off Saturday with a statement against racial injustice. As the national anthem played before tip-off, Seattle Storm and New York Liberty players dropped their basketballs, walked off the court and back to their respective locker rooms.
Earlier this month, the league announced that the 2020 season will be dedicated to raising awareness about social justice issues. The effort includes warm-up uniforms with the messages "Say her name" and "Black Lives Matter" and the creation of a player-led Social Justice Council.
Before the season opener began, Liberty guard Layshia Clarendon and Storm forward Breanna Stewart addressed the Black Lives Matter movement and dedicated the season to Breonna Taylor, a Black emergency technician who was killed by police in her home in March.
"Breonna Taylor was dedicated and committed to uplifting everyone around her," Clarendon said. "We're also dedicating this season to Say Her Name campaign, a campaign committed to saying the names and fighting for justice for Black women, Black women who are so often forgotten in this fight for justice, who do not have people marching in the streets for them."
