4 Officers Walk Out Of WNBA Game Over Players’ Offensive Shirts

Minneapolis Police Chief, Janee’ Harteau, understood the officers’ frustrations but did not condone their actions, stating that when wearing a Minneapolis Police uniform, all officers should adhere to the core values and honor their oath of office. Walking off the job and defaulting on their contractual obligation to provide a service to the Lynx does not conform to the public’s expectations for the uniform these officers wear. Minneapolis Mayor, Betsy Hodges, posted on Facebook, stating that Kroll’s remarks about the Lynx were jackass remarks and that he did not speak for her about the Lynx or anything else.

The Lynx players continued to wear the shirts during warm-ups at their next game, and other WNBA teams joined in solidarity by wearing similar shirts. The incident brought attention to police-community relations, racial profiling, and senseless violence. The Lynx players used their platform to bring awareness to these issues, sparking conversations and encouraging others to take a stand and raise their voices.
