Las Vegas Aces forward Brianna Turner isn't staying silent about a plan to put celebratory patches on WNBA jerseys, and she's making sure the league remembers its history.

Turner, who is also the treasurer for the players' union, went to social media to call out the idea of WNBA All-Stars wearing "USA 250" patches. The patches are part of a nationwide push in professional sports to celebrate the United States' upcoming 250th birthday.

The issue bubbled up after reports surfaced that the league wanted players to wear the emblems during All-Star weekend in Chicago. Turner quickly took to X to point out why that imagery doesn't sit right with a league where Black women make up the majority of the rosters.

"Whoever called for the WNBA all star uniforms to have the USA 250 patch should have thought that through considering no WNBA players would have been free 250 years ago," Turner wrote. "The majority wouldn’t even have their freedom 100 years ago."

Two and a half centuries ago, slavery was legal in America, and it wasn't abolished until 1865. On top of that, women didn't get the right to vote until 1920, and it took until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to outlaw discrimination based on race and sex.

Data shows that Black players made up about 64 percent of the WNBA last season. Turner didn't hold back when connecting America's past to the reality of who is playing in the league today.

"Yesss I know this was probably a financial decision at the end of the day but still," Turner posted. "We are some of the most elite female athletes 250 years ago we would have been breeders or in the fields working all day. Be so serious rn."

Other sports leagues have already jumped on board with the corporate branding. You can see the patches on jerseys in the NBA Finals, and NFL teams have worn them during the Super Bowl.

But after Turner spoke out and fans started buzzing, the WNBA pulled back a bit, releasing a statement to clear up where things stand.

"Like other major sports leagues, we are exploring how best to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary," the league said. "Nothing has been finalized at this time."

All-Star events are scheduled for July 24 through July 26 in Chicago, so we will see what the league decides to do with the uniforms before the players take the court.
