Team put out social media request for practice playersStar says she was dismayed by tone of responses
Los Angeles Sparks forward Cameron Brink said she was revolted by the response she had seen online to a call by the team for male players to try out for the practice squad.
Last week the Sparks put out an invite on social media for male players to practice with their WNBA roster. Brink did not oppose playing against men in practice but was dismayed by the tone of many of the responses to the post, which featured her and teammates Dearica Hamby, Rickea Jackson and Kelsey Plum. Brink will model for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue in May.
