00:00We're a league full of women who understand what's most important.

00:042020, we made a lot of noise.

00:06No justice.

00:08No peace.

00:09We absolutely want to dedicate our season to say her name in Black Lives Matter.

00:13This is like another opportunity,

00:16where if we're doing this together,

00:17it's just going to have greater power,
