WATCH: WNBA Team Holds Moment of Silence for George Floyd

The Women’s National Basketball Association’s Minnesota Lynx held a moment of silence for George Floyd at the start of their game against the Connecticut Sun on Friday.

Minnesota forward Napheesa Collier grabbed a microphone and took to the center of the court to speak about the fifth anniversary of his death.

“George was a father, a brother, and a son, and his life, like every life, held meaning,” Collier said.

The player continued, “His death exposed the holes that are still in our justice and criminal institutions today. His five-year anniversary reminds us that we want to continue the fight against criminal, racial, and social injustices. We can not stay silent.”

LMAOO.. the @WNBA had a moment of silence to honor George Floyd.

Floyd died in police custody while on drugs and resisting arrest on May 25, 2020. His death caused massive, deadly riots across the nation.

Outkick noted:

Collier did not mention the eight jail terms Floyd previously served, nor the fentanyl and methamphetamine an autopsy found in his system at the time of his death. She, nor the Lynx or WNBA for that matter, did not address the hundreds of businesses and lives that were ruined during the riots that took place across Minneapolis and the nation in the days that followed Floyd’s death, either.

The Lynx moment of silence and Collier’s speech are just the latest examples of the WNBA not being a legitimate sports organization. Social justice trumps all, including basketball and entertainment, which is all the overwhelming majority of the WNBA’s fanbase wants to focus on.

Fans pay for tickets to go enjoy a basketball game and escape from real-life issues for a couple of hours, not to be reminded about George Floyd’s death, be lectured about how great a person he was, and how racist our social and criminal justice systems are.

Cities including Houston and Minneapolis are holding “commemorative events” to mark the fifth anniversary of his death.
