The Los Angeles Sparks of the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) left the court during a late September 2017 match, while the host Minnesota Lynx linked arms. This game was just a shootaround. It was Game 1 of the WNBA Finals. (Source: “WNBA teams link arms, leave floor during national anthem at Game 1 of Finals,” ForTheWin, September 24, 2017.)
Considering that the Golden State Warriors have been “disinvited” from the traditional White House post-Championship meet, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver’s progressive leanings, we expect these protests to carry into the NBA. They’ll have a powerful ally in known Trump adversary and legendary guard, LeBron James.
