No, I'm not understanding this.

The WNBA has fined three teams and their players for wearing plain black shirts during warm ups before games in support of both the Black Lives Matter movement and the five officers shot and killed in Dallas.  If you read the article, the fines sound like a reasonable outcome until you get to the part in the story where it says that the WNBA sent all the players shirts to wear in support of the LGBT community, immediately after the shootings in Orlando.  How does that work?  The league actively supports the LGBT community, but puts a halt to attempts to support the African American community and the killed officers?  It really doesn't make any sense.  I'm hoping the WNBA will recognize the error and take corrective action.
