The caption read: \u201cI\u2019VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!#BidenHarris2020 LETS GOOOO @joebiden @kamalaharris\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 40-year-old basketball legend had struggled to find her political voice early in her career, infamously remaining silent when same-sex marriage was on the ballot in the state of Washington in 2012, for example. But, Bird\u2019s voice was loud and clear in 2020. She embraced a major role in leading the WNBA Players\u2019 Association to the forefront of the activist stage in 2020.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That stage, however, had many leading cast members.&nbsp;Before the season began, the Washington Mystics\u2019 Natasha Cloud and Renee Montgomery of the Atlanta Dream opted out to focus on the fight for social justice.&nbsp;Cloud was no stranger to political activism. The season before, she staged a media \u201cblackout,\u201d refusing to talk about any other topic than gun violence. In 2019, the Mystics won the WNBA championship. Cloud signed an endorsement deal with Converse and prepared to defend the title. Then, the video of a white police officer kneeling on the neck of black man surfaced. The images of a Minneapolis cop killing George Floyd were too much for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She wrote in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theplayerstribune.com\/articles\/natasha-cloud-your-silence-is-a-knee-on-my-neck-george-floyd\">May 30 Players\u2019 Tribune essay<\/a>: \u201cBecause right now\u2026\u2026. there\u2019s only one thing that\u2019s on my mind. Right now, if we\u2019re being really real? As a black person in America, there\u2019s only one thing that could possibly BE on my mind. And that\u2019s fearing for my life. It\u2019s fearing for my life, and for the life of every other person who is guilty of nothing more than belonging to a race that this country has been built on oppressing.&nbsp;<em>It\u2019s wanting to stay alive<\/em>&nbsp;\u2014 in a time where the reality for a lot of people is that my staying alive doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d Montgomery joined NBA superstar LeBron James\u2019&nbsp;<em>More Than A Vote<\/em>&nbsp;campaign, focusing her efforts largely on getting out the vote at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When COVID-19 pushed the WNBA season and its players into an isolated \u201cbubble\u201d in Bradenton, Florida in 2020, basketball took a backseat to vigils, strikes, t-shirts, public campaigns, endorsements, and strong words from the league\u2019s most prolific athletes.&nbsp;Before the opening jump of the virus-delayed season, Bird\u2019s Storm and the New York Liberty took a knee for the national anthem and recognized a 26-second silence in honor of Breonna Taylor, who was killed by Louisville police officers during a botched search.&nbsp;All season long,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CGn1ojih7Dc\/\">Taylor\u2019s name<\/a>&nbsp;was stitched under the players\u2019 names on their jerseys.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Aug. 26, players for the Dream, Mystics, Minnesota Lynx and Los Angeles Sparks kneeled together in solidarity on the court as they refused to play in the evening\u2019s scheduled games to protest the Milwaukee police shooting of Jacob Blake. Mystics players wore white t-shirts spelling out Blake\u2019s name on the front with seven bullet holes printed on the back. (Police shot Blake seven times in the back.)&nbsp;That night, the entire league gathered for a candlelight vigil organized by WNBPA members.&nbsp;ESPN reporter Holly Rowe reported via&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sportsiren\/status\/1298883521327566854?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1298883521327566854%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fembedly.forbes.com%2Fwidgets%2Fmedia.html%3Ftype%3Dtext2Fhtmlkey%3D3ce26dc7e3454db5820ba084d28b4935schema%3Dtwitterurl%3Dhttps3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fsportsiren%2Fstatus%2F1298883521327566854image%3D\">Tweet<\/a>&nbsp;from the vigil: \u201cAfter games were boycotted Wednesday night, the entire&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WNBA\">@wnba<\/a>&nbsp;bubble organized and participated in a candlelight vigil. People were encouraged to speak their heart. They are in this together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The activism didn\u2019t stop after the Storm swept the Las Vegas Aces for the championship, either.&nbsp;On Oct. 21, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/wnba\/2020\/10\/21\/seattle-storm-joe-biden-kamala-harris-ticket\">Storm franchise collectively endorsed Biden<\/a>&nbsp;over Trump.&nbsp;The Connecticut Sun, whose season slogan was \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/sun.wnba.com\/change\/\">Change Can\u2019t Wait<\/a>\u201d and included many educational and political actions, used Instagram to post 10 GOTV posts the week before the election.&nbsp;Individual players endorsed Biden, as well as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/wnba\/2020\/8\/4\/21354812\/wnba-players-vote-warnock-shirts-kelly-loefflers-senate-race\">Rev. Raphael Warnock<\/a>, a Democrat running against Kelly Loeffler, co-owner of the Atlanta Dream, in the U.S. Senate race.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The demographic composition of the WNBPA is 100% women, 83% identifying as people of color, and a \u201csubstantial proportion\u201d identifying as LBGTQ+. In other words, it\u2019s a league of people whose very existence in the professional arena and whose very presence in the athletic world have been a fight to achieve.&nbsp;It was a no-brainer that the fight would continue beyond the out-of-bounds lines.&nbsp;And, as Bird revealed in her post, it was something to celebrate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Molly Yanity Sports Journalist &amp; Associate Professor and Chair, Journalism, Quinnipiac University Email:\u00a0molly.yanity@qu.edu Twitter: @MollyYanity On Sunday, November 8, U.S. media outlets called the 2020 presidential election for Democrat Joe Biden to mark the unofficial end of the chaotic term of Donald Trump, a playboy real estate mogul-turned reality TV host-turned polarizing politician.&nbsp; Moments [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":24,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-409","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
