The national anthem protests spread last night to Game 2 of the WNBA Finals between the Los Angeles Sparks and the Minnesota Lynx at the Williams Arena in Minneapolis where the Sparks left the court just before the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner”:
The women of the @LA_Sparks left the floor to go back to the locker room for the National Anthem just now.
