Lynette Woodard's Fight for Fair Play

Lynette Woodard, a trailblazer in basketball, is taking a stand. She's suing a company for using her name without permission. The company, Undrcrwn, sold expensive hoodies and sweatsuits with her name on them. Woodard claims she never gave them the right to do this. Woodard is a big deal in basketball. She was the first woman to play for the Harlem Globetrotters. She also won a gold medal in the 1984 Olympics. But despite her success, she says she was cheated out of money. The company sold these items between 2021 and 2024. Even though Undrcrwn stopped selling them last year, they're still available online. The lawsuit says the company and the Globetrotters didn't ask for her permission. They knew she wouldn't agree to it for free. Woodard is seeking damages for this. She's not just fighting for herself. She's fighting for fair treatment of athletes. Woodard's career is impressive. She played in the first WNBA season. She's also the all-time leading scorer in women's college basketball. But this lawsuit shows that even top athletes can be taken advantage of. It's a reminder to always stand up for what's right.
