AN OPEN LETTER TO @lindacohn

Linda Cohn owes A’ja Wilson an apology.

There is a huge difference between asking a legitimate question about why a player isn't participating in the FIBA World Cup and publicly suggesting that the player may have stayed home because she didn't want to watch Caitlin Clark receive attention.

A’ja Wilson said she was dealing with health issues. That should have been the end of the conversation.

Instead, Linda Cohn decided to attach a motive to A’ja that she has absolutely no evidence to support.

Think about how ridiculous that is.

A’ja is a four time WNBA MVP, a champion, a Finals MVP and one of the most accomplished players in the history of this league. She has spent years establishing herself as one of the best basketball players on the planet.

Yet we're supposed to believe that this woman suddenly needed to avoid a basketball tournament because Caitlin Clark might get too much attention?

Why?

What exactly does A’ja Wilson have to be insecure about?

And this is where the conversation becomes bigger than one ridiculous comment.

There is a familiar pattern in how accomplished Black women are treated when they don't play along with the expectations placed on them. Their decisions get analyzed differently. Their boundaries get questioned. Their motives get rewritten for them.

A Black woman can say she needs to step away for her health and somehow the conversation becomes whether she's jealous, threatened, bitter or unable to share the spotlight.

That is an ugly standard.

And Linda Cohn should know better.

If there is evidence that A’ja Wilson's decision had anything to do with Caitlin Clark, present it.

If there isn't, then stop creating a narrative around a woman who has given basketball fans years of elite performance and has earned the right to make decisions about her own body and career without having her motives assigned to her.

A’ja doesn't need to hide from Caitlin Clark.

She doesn't need to compete with Caitlin Clark for attention.

And she certainly doesn't need to explain herself because somebody in the media decided to invent a rivalry that A’ja never created.

Linda Cohn didn't expose something about A’ja Wilson.

She exposed the kind of thinking that still makes some people uncomfortable when a Black woman has already earned her place at the top and refuses to be reduced to somebody else's storyline.

A’ja Wilson deserves better than that.

And Linda Cohn should have known better.
