Tamika Catchings was proud of the stand her WNBA Indiana Fever teammates took before the final game of her illustrious career when the entire squad knelt during the national anthem, locking
arms and lowering heads in a show of unity. They join players in other sports who are protesting social injustice, racial oppression and police brutality
in the United States. This was the first time an entire professional team took a knee.
Fever coach Stephanie White said, "We don't create change by seeing it
on the news and waiting until next time. People who have the platforms
have the ability to affect change, and I'm proud of our group for using
the platform in a respectful manner."
