Victor Mather writes for The New York Times, “Players from the Liberty and the Indiana Fever spoke out in dismay Thursday after the W.N.B.A. fined them for wearing T-shirts intended to raise awareness in the aftermath of recent shootings by and of the police.
Three teams, the Liberty, the Fever and the Phoenix Mercury, had been fined $5,000 and each player involved had been fined $500 for wearing the shirts this month during warm-ups.”
