At the WNBA draft, players Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are expanding the ways in which women express their power, skill and ambition.
If watching young basketball players being recruited into the professional leagues is not a regular pastime, the WNBA draft — and its NBA counterpart — might easily call to mind those long ago elementary school days when students lined up in a row and waited to be picked by a discerning team captain with a mildly sadistic streak.
Clark wore a white satin miniskirt with a matching work shirt, along with a cropped top embroidered in silver rhinestones, plus assorted Prada accessories — black slingbacks, a small black handbag and sunglasses — to finish off the ensemble. The look was a balance of sporty, sexy and chic. Clark noted that it was the first time Prada had dressed an athlete for the WNBA basketball draft and there was no mistaking the brand’s presence. Most everything had a Prada logo affixed to it.
Sports is rooted in the body of the athlete, but it’s still impossible to ignore the degree to which the body of an athlete is discussed as if it’s something that’s apart from the person. Players are referred to as “undersized,” and pundits note that a team needs a “big” player.
