<p>The women of the New York Liberty, Phoenix Mercury and Indiana Fever all sported black warm-up t-shirts in the wake of the recent shootings.</p>
<p>According to the ESPN, the WBNA fined each team $5,000 and each player was fined $500. All of this came about because according to the rules, players are not to alter their uniforms in any kind of way.</p>
<p>The Liberty has worn all black t-shirts for the past four games including Wednesday morning. Both the Mercury and Fever wore their shirts on Tuesday night.</p>
<p>WNBA president Lisa Borders said in a statement, &#8220;We are proud of WNBA players&#8217; engagement and passionate advocacy for non-violent solutions to difficult social issues but expect them to comply with the league&#8217;s uniform guidelines.&#8221;</p>
<p>The league issued a memo earlier this week reminding the players of the uniform policy after the teams wore their shirts.</p>
<p>The Liberty reached a compromise where instead of wearing their warm up shirts that are all black with their logo, they will wear an all black shirt with the Adidas logo showing.</p>
<p>If you all remember the Minnesota Lynx did the same earlier this month, and agreed to show their support in alternate ways.</p>
<p>Mercury forward, Mistie Bass had this to say, “Don’t say we have a voice then fine us when we use it. #notpuppets #cutthestrings”</p>

<p>Roommates what are your thoughts?</p>
