Los Angeles Sparks (https://www.espn.com/wnba/team/_/name/la/los-angeles-sparks) guard Layshia Clarendon (https://www.espn.com/wnba/player/_/id/2490794/layshia-clarendon), a leader in the WNBA's social justice initiatives, the league's first openly transgender and nonbinary player and a 2017 All-Star, announced their retirement (https://www.instagram.com/p/DAJgmVxy9z0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) Friday on Instagram.


Off the court, Lay is a trailblazer and impacted so many with their bravery to be authentic and unapologetic while consistently fighting for the marginalized."

"..social justice..first transgender and nonbinary....bravery...marginalized...." The usual word salad.


Clarendon, who uses she/her, he/him and they/them pronouns, was drafted ninth by the Indiana Fever (https://www.espn.com/wnba/team/_/name/ind/indiana-fever) in 2013.

Pronouns, too. But, it still gets better.


They advocated for LGBTQIA+ inclusive policies across the league and for racial justice. It was Clarendon's idea to dedicate the 2020 season to the "Say Her Name" campaign. When an idea was pitched to put "Black Lives Matter" on the court for the 2020 season, Clarendon drew up the rudimentary plans in Microsoft Paint.

In Microsoft Paint! Imagine if that fat sow ever learns how to use a word processor, she/him might take over the world. :lol

Uh, yeah, a "sow" that can't be bothered to fully shave its mustache!
