‘I’m in, baby’: Liz Cambage confirms she will play at Olympics after boycott threat

On Tuesday morning, the basketball star took to Instagram to announce she would be competing with the Opals.

The confirmation will be a weight off the shoulders for Basketball Australia with athletes preparing to get their vaccinations this week. “The second type of people in this world. that’s the people that are intimated and scared and insecure and hide behind fake profiles and talk shit because you are too scared to do anything.On Monday, Basketball legend Lauren Jackson praised Liz Cambage for speaking her mind on issues of diversity after threatening to boycott the Olympics and said she believed Basketball Australia would work to ensure she would travel to the Games.

“We just want to see her on that medal display with our team. She’s got an opinion and I respect that opinion like everyone does and it’s fantastic she has a platform she can use.”

Stay at home and save the taxpayers hard earned money be true to your convictions, lol!

I hope there is no kneeling involved!

the lure of the $ was too much for her eh

Go away

What a drongo 🤡

What a nong she is. Not sure we want her representing Australia.

That confirms I wont be watching women B-Ball!

Just play the game and NOT be heard you fool!!!

Maybe she should look at her own team LV Aces roster and ask where is the diversity. All POC except one. So when they do a publicity photo how do they balance the lack of white people.

Any publicity is good publicity well played ecambage

Apparently your principles are flexible and negotiable.

shows how weak the AOC is

that news had cruelled my whole day. I suppose she'll take a knee when she gets there. Shame she's not in the water polo team.

“I’m going to ball out for all those young BROWN kids in Australia watching ME” me me me me, everyone’s watching ME, support the swimmers white kids, at least they will win a gold.

What a load of fluff. Aimed for attention, got it. Has anything changed?

CANNOT stand this woman

Should she not have to apologise for the fake tan comment? Despite her backtracking and trying to deny thats racist as hell. Lets be honest. She's pissed she wasn't in the photo. That's all.

Before the biggest games in their lives, you don't create team spirit by creating an issue focusing on one player

So essentially the past few days was just Liz Cambage's stream of consciousness expressed on social media, amounting to very little.

Stop to pacify her, and let her go, will always be trouble.

Get a life

Well she got her attention. Zzzzzzzz

The way she conveyed her message didn’t endear her to many. Very immature and childish. Perhaps another spoilt, entitled sports brat who thinks the “team” success revolves around their participation. Ho hum...

It was always only about the attention seeking. Typical woke / BLM loser.

Then this is just grandstanding then. Stand for what you believe if you truly believe it

Shocked....noone. I bet 95% of Australia had no idea who she was before this and wish we didn't after. She can happily go back to earning her huge money in US. Best of luck to her.

Yes. Of course she is.

Liz Cambage is a woman of true principle. No?
