President Joe Biden honored the WNBA champion Seattle Storm at the White House Monday, praising the team for its actions both on and off the court -- especially work the team has done on social justice issues.
"What makes this team remarkable is they don't just win games, they change lives. Encouraging people to get vaccinated so we can beat this pandemic, speaking out and standing up for racial justice and voting rights, supporting education and ... mentorship programs for young people and fighting to protect trans youth from an epidemic of violence and discrimination," Biden said. "That's what winners do. They shine the light, they lift people up, they are a force for change. That's the Seattle Storm, that's the WNBA, that's what they do," he added.More Related News
