Breanna Stewart calls for equality in women’s sports at the ESPYS
The Seattle Storm rookie was named Best Female Athlete.
“During my time in college I received an enormous amount of media attention,” Stewart said. “I’m grateful for that. And now that I’m in the WNBA, playing with other amazing female athletes, I’m trying to understand why we, as professional female athletes, don’t receive anywhere near the fame. This has to change.”
Her big finish:
“Equality for all takes each of us making an effort. Thank you for this honor and together let’s be better.”
