So many leagues choosing to boycott. While not a competition, please be aware the financial implications of the WNBA sacrificing this game, future games, and their viewership is far greater than their male counterparts and the MLB.
Black women comprise the majority of the league, and have been at the forefront of social justice movements on and off the court. If you're looking for an example, do some research on Maya Moore and Natasha Cloud.
People will tell these women to keep the politics out of sports. But as Sue Bird has said, everyone has politicized the WNBA since its inception. Women are forever judged by everything but their ability to put the ball in the basket. As Sue articulated,
"As female athletes all we are judged based on everything except the game we are playing. We're being judged because we're women. We're being judged because we're gay. We're being judged because we're black." It's the truth.
