The Minnesota Lynx kicked off a powerful anti-violence protest in July when the entire team wore black warmup shirts stating "Change Starts With Us," a nod to the killings of Philando Castile, Alton Sterling and five Dallas police officers. Other WNBA teams soon began donning their own black warmup shirts, and continued protesting despite fines from the league office. — Rohan Nadkarni
