Kim Ng, Sarah Fuller, and the WNBA: Relive 2020's Best Moments For Women in Sports

Formerly known as Scrap Yard Dogs Fastpitch, this pro softball team split from its organization when its general manager tweeted a picture of the players, standing during the national anthem, to President Donald Trump. The caption: "Everyone respecting the flag!" The players felt like "political pawns," Kiki Stokes told POPSUGAR later. As one, Stokes and her teammates abandoned the organization (and sacrificed their livelihoods) to form This Is Us, an independent team dedicated to empowering young women, uniting the softball community, and raising awareness of racism in softball and society.
