Since June, Washington Mystics guard Ariel Atkins has dedicated her Instagram feed to remembering and fighting for Black victims of police brutality. "This isn't just about basketball," she told ESPN after the games were postponed. "We aren't just basketball players, and just because we are basketball players doesn't mean that's our only platform. We need to understand that, when most of us go home, we still are Black. Our families matter."
