Couldn't fit a more descriptive title. I apologize. I also searched and couldn't find anything about this, if I missed it then I apologize again.

Four off-duty Minneapolis police officers working security at Saturday’s WNBA game at the Target Center quit their (freelance) jobs and walked out, after four Lynx players held a press conferencing denouncing violence committed by and against police, and the entire team wore warmup shirts mentioning the victims of a week of terrible violence.
The tragedies had meaning to both teams in the game, which the Lynx won 93-56 over the Dallas Wings. Philando Castile was shot and killed by an officer during a traffic stop in a suburb of St. Paul Wednesday night. The next night, during a Black Lives Matter protest in Dallas, a lone gunman opened fire on police, killing five officers and wounding six other people.
The Lynx players’ shirts read “Change Starts With Us: Justice & Accountability” on the front, and on the back listed the names of Castile, Alton Sterling, a Dallas Police Department emblem, and Black Lives Matter.

I'm really beginning to not like professional sports.

Who was left in charge of crowd control to prevent the nearly ten fans from getting out of hand?

Can't imagine there were enough crowd to warrant security anyway.. Good for both sides in expressing there rights

I can't help but cringe when I think of the WNBA as a 'professional' league.

At least they now have a good reason to not attend shitty women's basketball.

Putting the badge instead of the dead officers' names pisses me off

Why did they include the Dallas PD emblem but not just the words "Dallas Police Department" or "Dallas" or just the names of the slain officers?

Never thought I'd see the day when so many ppl would openly support some shite stain that had more arrests than years of his life.

Lynx are actually good and they actually have a crowd, so I doubt that a lack of security would be something to joke about.

In other WNBA news, the LA Sparks went straight to damage control mode when they found out one of their players was in fact, heterosexual.

Do they really need 1 security guard for each fan?
Posted on 7/12/16 at 9:22 am to McCaigBro69
If the cops left, then who else was left to watch the game?

Putting the badges right above BLM pisses me off. A fricking black dude did all the killing. So his life matters more than the lives of the officers that he killed.
frick these dyke bitches.
