I havent seen this clarity. I think she dismissed a narrative in one interview and said she just focused on basketball, which is not the same as speaking against it. I've seen more come from Sabrina, Cam, Paige, and Stewie with more consistency as well. But maybe I missed ALL the times she spoke out
Because it isn’t there. And it wasn’t really there last year. Many of her fans have been blatantly racist- at games- and especially online. She could absolutely have a press conference and come out against it.
Either she’s some badass or she’s quaint and needs protection. Isn’t this the same perception that T. Swift gives as well? She can handle her own and doesn’t need white men “saving” her. If anything- as a woman- this would anger me more. I’m sure she will say nothing.
Her “fans” call black players thugs, “ghetto” and other racists names. And yet it is somehow just fine when this happens, and I suppose these young women, who are often exceptional women, should just stay silent and take the abuse.
Yes that is what people expect. Because if they react then they’re just angry black women and they need to gravel and thank her for bringing attention and money to the WNBA. It’s ridiculous. And it isn’t just the fans. Announcers aren’t saying anything either.
Boston had her back during her rookie year. This year it seems to be Cunningham. I liked Boston’s approach better. She would talk her down. Cunningham seems to want to amp it up.
She talked about it several times in interviews leading up to and during her rookie year. My impression is she's stopped talking about it but that just might be me not following sports much these days. Her comments are out there if you're interested. I'm not here to defend her against all flak.
