In a video posted Saturday, Sedona Prince gives the viewer a full tour of the equipment provided to the players for March Madness tournaments.

The revelation over the blatantly unequal treatment of the male and female teams caused outrage on social media. Three-time Olympic gold medalist Dawn Staley writes, “What we now know is that the NCAA’s season long messaging about ‘togetherness’ and ‘equality’ was about convenience and a soundbite for the moment created after the murder of George Floyd.”

Its initial statement falsely claimed the issue was because of constrained space, which the athletes quickly debunked by posting a video of a large empty hall where the single dumbbell rack was located.

In my opinion, the NCAA concession to improve the women’s weight room is amazing but at the same time sad. The organization didn’t do this out of the goodness of their hearts, but because they were shamed to do so by the public.
