One of the WNBA's most outspoken players is not planning for a quiet retirement.
Washington Mystics guard Natasha Cloud told reporters Thursday she plans to enter politics when her basketball career is over, two days after the mass shooting that killed 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde, Texas.
Cloud cited her frustration with the current lack of action on issues such as gun control, women's rights and systemic racism, also noting the mass shooting at the Tops supermarket in Buffalo.
Cloud's comments:
“We’re out here preparing for Connecticut, and yes, it’s our jobs, we get paid to do this, but how do you even talk about that with what’s going on in our country?
