Aces F Brianna Turner “balked at the idea that WNBA All-Stars should wear the ‘USA 250’ patch on their jerseys” that other leagues have adopted to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. Turner, who also serves as Treasurer of the WNBPA, in a post on X wrote, “Yesss I know this was probably a financial decision at the end of the day but still. We are some of the most elite female athletes 250 years ago we would have been breeders or in the fields working all day. Be so serious rn.” The WNBA and the NWSL were “not among the sports leagues listed as agreeing to wear the patch” when the White House and Fanatics made their joint announcement in January. The WNBA in a statement said, “Nothing has been finalized at this time” (N.Y. POST, 6/7).
