During the WNBA Finals, players from the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries chose to ignore President Donald Trump's criticism over them leaving the court before the national anthem. Despite Trump's statements at a rally in Iowa, the players maintained their focus on the series rather than engaging with the controversy. Both teams have been leaving the court before the anthem, a practice that has been ongoing for years, despite being against the league's rulebook.
President Trump criticized the WNBA and its players, implying that they might ruin the league if they continue with their current approach. However, both the Dream's Allisha Gray and the Valkyries' Kiah Stokes chose not to let the criticism affect their performance, emphasizing their dedication to the team and their pregame routine.
