Paige Bueckers Insists There’s Still A Lack Of Equal Coverage For Black Women

Paige Bueckers is out here dropping truth bombs about the lack of equal coverage for black women in sports. And you know what? She’s absolutely right.

It’s 2025 and we’re still fighting for fair treatment and recognition in the sports world. Women athletes work just as hard, if not harder, than their male counterparts, yet they often don’t get the same spotlight or coverage. It’s time for a change, people.

“It’s still an issue, every single day,” the Dallas Wings rookie told Time magazine in an interview published on Monday. “There’s not ever equal coverage.”

“There’s White privilege every single day that I see,” she said in terms of marketing opportunities. “I feel like I’ve worked extremely hard, blessed by God. But I do think there’s more opportunities for me. I feel like even just marketability, people tend to favor White people, White males, White women. I think it should be equal opportunity. I feel like there is privilege to what I have, and to what all White people have. I recognize that. I want to counteract that with the way I go about my business.”

Bueckers is set to be among the next generation of basketball stars to lead the WNBA into the future.

The rookie’s comments echoed what Caitlin Clark told Time magazine last year and what she reiterated to comedian David Letterman in her interview with him.

“I definitely have privilege,” Clark said on Netflix’s “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction.”

“I’m obviously White but I think … I’m somebody that grew up a huge fan of this league. I grew up watching this league, going to games, supporting this league. So, I know where this league comes from.

Let’s start giving these incredible black women (athletes) the respect and media coverage they deserve. Paige Bueckers, you keep speaking out and we’ll keep standing with you.
