Both WNBA Finals teams run off the court moments before the national anthem for the second straight game, returning seconds after the performance ends.
@Outkick video shows players from the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries are noticeably absent during the anthem ahead of Game 2, as Grammy-winning singer Alanis Morissette performs.
The repeated absence comes despite a WNBA rulebook requirement that players, coaches and trainers stand along the sidelines or foul line during the national anthem.

@pumafootball My 14y/o freshman daughter made Denmark HS Varsity team. Kylie LOVES Puma. She is disciplined, motivated & works hard to be "Forever Faster." Would you consider sponsorship w/ Puma Ultra 6 Carbon FG Dreamrush Pack, size 8 for this season?
@AZAlawieh Feel fortunate that you don't have to survive the day to day life of your birthland. To say you "survived" an insurrection on Jan. 6 in D.C. is the dramatic statement of a coward seeking attention. Grow up.
#Lions Pro Bowl rookie TE Sam LaPorta, who suffered a bone bruise and hyperextended knee, is trending in the right direction to play vs the #Rams, per me and @TomPelissero. Very limited in practice, LaPorta will likely wear a brace. But he intends to be out there with his team.
@wojespn Perhaps the rigors of an NBA life have caught up to and exposed DG. Hopefully some introspective time & activities will help. Maybe even retirement?
@VivekGRamaswamy You're a RINO. A snake. A disruptor. Why else would you try to shame & embarrass your own party members on the national stage? You'd probably sell your own mother for a vote.
@jrpsaki Don't know if it was your White House stint or perhaps before that but your thoughts & words come off as bitter & vile. Like that of an embattled soul. I wish you the strength to be a positive role model for your children's sake.
@VivekGRamaswamy The way you shamelessly insult & denigrate the others at their podiums I'm inclined to believe you're nothing more than an opportunist (perhaps bought & paid for) whose sole purpose is to publicly weaken the Republican candidates.
