Los Angeles Sparks striker Cameron Brink said that she was “the new potential players” that the team could bring this season after an article on the social media accounts of the Sparks attracted sexually loaded answers.
Speaking on his podcast “Straight to Cam” in an episode released on Monday, Brink described the comments as “completely out of pocket”.
“It is not annoying for me; I am embarrassed for all these men,” she said.
Brink, goalkeeper Kelsey Plum and attackers Rickea Jackson and Delerica Hamby were presented in a photo with the post, and many comments in the responses concerned the appearances of women with certain users making jokes about the support of women in the post.
“Who do we trust this gymnasium?” Brink asked, adding later: “I do not box anyone. Lynne (Roberts), our new coach, will shout at me so as not to bounce back. I do not box anyone.”
Brink, 23, said that the Sparks had previously practiced with the Players of Male Colleges of the USC who play against the USC women’s team.
During the weeks following the original post, the sparks registration page to register for practice players’ trials has been deleted and the team will no longer accept bids “due to the overwhelming number of candidates”, ” The website says.
A spokesperson for Sparks shared on Tuesday a statement confirming that “all the players selected for the training team will undergo a process of verifying in-depth history to ensure the safety and well-being of our athletes.”
“The sparks of Los Angeles have undertaken to promote a safe and respectful environment for all our players and want to emphasize that players’ safety remains our absolute priority. To clarify, as always for our practicing trials, players are a well -extended practice in this WNBA approach and schools.
Brink welcomes his podcast alongside his Word of God Sydel Curry-Lee, a former university volleyball player. Curry-Lee is also the youngest sister of the Golden State Warriors Steph Curry goalkeeper and the wife of the Phoenix Suns Damion Lee goalkeeper.
