Sophie Cunningham of the Indiana Fever stood alone with her hand over her heart during the national anthem, as the Atlanta Dream team refused to take the court at all. Her quiet act of respect spoke volumes.For too long, certain WNBA squads have boycotted the anthem, turning tradition into controversy. This ongoing protest disrespects the values and sacrifices that make our country great.Cunningham’s patriotism shines as a beacon amid the division. More athletes should follow her lead in showing pride for the United States of America.
