Abstract
WNBA uniform politics in 2016 coalesced around three distinct voices: corporate sponsor logos, sanctioned pro-LGBTQ demonstration, and an unsanctioned Black Lives Matter player protest. We argue that uniform politics reveal a cautious, commercially linked, single-issue approach to social engagement in the WNBA.
