Paige Bueckers received national attention in the middle of her collegiate career with the UConn Huskies when she lamented the lack of coverage Black women received in sports at the 2021 ESPY Awards.
Nearly four years later, Bueckers remained of the belief that Black women do not receive enough coverage from the media and added that she thinks White people benefit more from marketing opportunities.
"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."
