WNBPA says it did not ask WNBA to drop USA 250 All-Star patch after union officer publicly objected

The WNBA Players Association says it did not ask the league to abandon a reported plan to place USA 250 patches on its All-Star uniforms, despite public criticism of the idea from one of the union’s elected officers.

In a statement to OutKick and Fox News Digital, the WNBPA said members of player leadership contacted the league after Sportico reported that the patches would appear on the uniforms during Saturday’s All-Star Game in Chicago.
