Players in WNBA Finals Tuning Out President Trump, Other Outside Noise, Say Their Focus on the Games – WTOP News
Players say they are staying off social media and focusing on Game 4 after Trump urged fans to boycott the league.
- Players in the WNBA Finals are ignoring President Donald Trump's recent criticism and concentrating solely on preparing for upcoming championship games instead of engaging with the president's political remarks.
- On Thursday, Trump spoke at a rally in Iowa criticizing WNBA players for leaving the court before the national anthem and called for a league boycott, also targeting NBA icon LeBron James.
- Atlanta guard Allisha Gray said Friday at the Dream's practice ahead of Saturday's Game 4, "I'm focused on the finals." Valkyries forward Kiah Stokes added that staying off social media has been a team key.
- The WNBA had no comment on Trump's speech, though leaving the court before the anthem is not a recent development; teams began the routine during the 2020 season in Florida.
- Several Atlanta and Golden State players echoed the sentiment, tuning out external noise to prioritize game preparations as the championship series continues.
