WNBA Player Liz Cambage Withdraws From Olympics Citing Her Mental Health: ‘It’s Honestly Terrifying For Me’
In May, Cambage threatened to not attend the Tokyo Olympics after she said an AOC advertising campaign had whitewashed minority athletes, the Heraldsun reported.
She said the photos used in the campaign didn’t represent diversity.
“If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times, HOW AM I MEANT TO REPRESENT A COUNTRY THAT DOESN’T EVEN REPRESENT ME,” she wrote beneath the ad.
Additionally, in the past, the 29-year-old has participated in Black Lives Matter events and advocates for equality.
