Walking Off (10 p.m.) - a podcast by WBZ-AM

Over the weekend, WNBA players from two teams: the New York Liberty and the Seattle Storm, walked off the court during the playing of the national anthem at their season opener. The protest to the anthem is the team’s sign of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, as this year’s season has been dedicated to that movement. In support of the BLM movement, BLM is painted on all the league’s courts as well as displayed on all the players’ jerseys. With that being said, do you think we should even have a national anthem played at sporting events if it’s going to turn into a spectacle?
