Both WNBA organizations stopped live tweeting for calls to action following the devastating school shooting in Texas.
“Today we're going to do a media blackout,” Cloud said. “I think that you are all aware of what is happening, what happened in Texas, what happened in Buffalo not even a week and a half ago. We have an issue in this country, not only white supremacy, we also have a gun violence issue. And this is us using our platform.
“This game doesn't matter. The [21] lives that were lost today from senseless gun violence in Texas, at an elementary school – we're talking about our kids not being safe to go to school and our government is still not implementing sensible gun laws. This isn't about taking people's rights away from bearing arms. This is about putting sensible gun laws in so this doesn't happen again.
