Prior to their team’s game against the Dallas Wings on Saturday night, several members of the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx—including captains Maya Moore, Seimone Augustus, Rebekkah Brunson, and Lindsay Whalen—wore T-shirts to commemorate the recent deaths of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and five members of the Dallas Police Department and to call for change. The front of the black shirts said, "Change Starts With Us—Justice and Accountability," while the back had the names of Sterling and Castile as well as the DPD shield and the words "Black Lives Matter." Brunson explained that members of the team decided to wear the shirts in order to take a stand on a very important social issue.
