Members of the New York Liberty and Seattle Storm walked off the court during the national anthem on Saturday ahead of the WNBA’s season opener in what players said will be a season dedicated to honoring Breonna Taylor and other victims of social injustice.
Players from both teams walked back to their respective locker rooms during the national anthem and then held a brief moment of silence for Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was fatally shot in March when Louisville police were conducting a no-knock warrant at her home related to a narcotics investigation.
I wouldn't be surprised if that whole league runs at a loss anyway, so I doubt they're worried about lost revenue.
What's ironic about a lot of these woke businesses is that they pander to a fringe element that mostly isn't interested in their product to begin with. You see this a lot with comics, video games and television shows/movies. They flip the finger to their typical audience then act all surprised when they start losing money. Of course the WNBA may not even have a target audience.
