WNBA All-Star Game MVP Arike Ogunbowale discussed her decision to take her name out of Olympic consideration, citing 'flags' and 'politics.'
In June, Arike Ogunbowale said she had removed herself from Olympic consideration 'months' earlier. The WNBA All-Star Game MVP said there was 'politics' involved. And while she remained vague on that topic earlier this week, she said she felt like she was not 'wanted' on this year's squad.
'When I said ‘politics’ I’m just speaking in general, just obviously being involved in basketball my whole life. I’ve been a part of some things that were political, whether it was college, WNBA. So, I kind of just said it like that.'
