It is pretty bad that they gave the white girl who joined the WNBA the biggest sponsorship deal, showing the clear racism in American female sport did nothing for the black female players who are much better. The way the media supported the equal play for the USWNT because it is predominantly a team of white suburban team, yet none of that talk for female black athletes in the WNBA. That equal pay deal they were forced to do due to media pressure is effecting the men’s soccer program due to too much that the women don’t generate going to them.
