Taking a page right out of the sports marketing playbook, the team decided to share a promotional picture for their upcoming game against the Seattle Storm. Unfortunately, things took a turn when they put guard Sarah Ashlee Barker in the picture.
You'll never believe this. Guess what got everyone riled up? Barker wasn't wearing her uniform; instead, she was sporting an outfit that might raise eyebrows among folks with strict fashion codes.
Hold up... seriously?! Fans need to calm their jets!
The main conflict stems from Barker's streetwear clothing. Many fans feel it was inappropriate due to Puritanical standards. But hey, haven't we seen a fair share of runway shows before games? Remember, these players will strut their stuff in the stadium's backstage before tip-off!
Side note: Should we be applauding female empowerment and individuality or demanding identical robots? A strange question, I know, but here we are.
Additionally, the criticism against Barker seems off when you consider that her get-up isn't much different from what folks wear at public pools or beaches. If this outfit is too much for you, maybe steer clear of any trendy shops or fashion shows in the city.
Sarah Ashlee Barker didn't do anything wrong. Neither did her team. But the game didn't go as planned...
Barker scored 12 points, grabbed 7 rebounds, and dropped one assist in a tough 98-67 loss to the Seattle Storm.
