A WNBA player came under fire for calling America “trash” ahead of Independence Day – prompting others in the sports world to warn her that she would not want to see the reality in authoritarian countries.
Washington Mystics guard Natasha Cloud, 31, made the controversial comment while responding to the decision from the Supreme Court to strike down affirmative action Friday.
“Our country is trash in so many ways and instead of using our resources to make it better we continue to oppress Marginalized groups that we have targeted since the beginning of times,” Cloud tweeted.
Cloud, who is black and identifies as gay, went on to lament that the US was wasting its potential on “hateful ideologies.”
“We are a hateful disappointment,” she wrote.
