- According to Ramona
Shelburne and Zach Lowe,

00:00:02.130 --> 00:00:04.230 align:middle line:10%
the WNBA and its
union have agreed

00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:07.290 align:middle line:10%
to feature the names of women
who have died in connection

00:00:07.290 --> 00:00:10.650 align:middle line:10%
to police action or racial
violence, names like Sandra

00:00:10.650 --> 00:00:12.150 align:middle line:10%
Bland, Breonna Taylor.

00:00:12.150 --> 00:00:13.650 align:middle line:84%
This will all happen
when the league

00:00:13.650 --> 00:00:15.390 align:middle line:90%
resumes play later this month.

00:00:15.390 --> 00:00:17.250 align:middle line:84%
Additionally, WNBA
players will also

00:00:17.250 --> 00:00:19.770 align:middle line:84%
wear warm-up shirts that
say "Black Lives Matter,"

00:00:19.770 --> 00:00:22.030 align:middle line:90%
and say her name.

00:00:22.030 --> 00:00:26.340 align:middle line:10%
Scottie, what is your
reaction to this news?

00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:28.360 align:middle line:10%
- I think it's great.

00:00:28.360 --> 00:00:33.340 align:middle line:10%
You know, right now, the
WNBA, the NBA players, they're

00:00:33.340 --> 00:00:37.690 align:middle line:10%
going to have an opportunity
to, you know, speak on a level

00:00:37.690 --> 00:00:40.270 align:middle line:10%
that no other
players in the past

00:00:40.270 --> 00:00:43.190 align:middle line:10%
have been able to
sustain at this level.

00:00:43.190 --> 00:00:45.490 align:middle line:10%
So I think they should
take advantage of it

00:00:45.490 --> 00:00:49.330 align:middle line:10%
and to be able to
make a difference,

00:00:49.330 --> 00:00:52.080 align:middle line:10%
and everyone is
really watching them.
