Its 2 people convinced that they are right and the other is wrong.
I don't it will be an enjoyable series of discourse.
Bogut is correct and points out some logical reasons as to why it is as it was.

Bogut isn't correct nor did he use logic. There are no winners here.

They're both people who rely on Twitter to survive. Ignore em’, far more significant issues in society than two muppets wailing like banshees at every opportunity.
Now If they hooked up I'd tune in for that hahahha
You would get a lightskin 7'3+ male or 6’8-6’10 lightskin women when they become an adult.

Being a dark skinned Australian myself I can honestly say Cambage is an idiot.

And it all makes the papers in more prominent positions than actual basketball results. Not going to add a link. Just ignore it or the page views only encourage these stories. You can probably guess what each of them says. The rest is fluff.

Its the battle of the heavyweight tools everyone has been waiting for
Cambage is, and always has been, a spoilt, attention seeking brat. I was waiting for this twitter war though haha, it was inevitable.

"Cambage is, and always has been, a spoilt, attention seeking brat." you forgot "entitled" as one of her prime blind spots.

"Imagine if these two mated."
You'd more than likely end up with a rather tall child with a chance at being good at basketball
You'd definitely end up with a kid that was dumb as dogshit and had a putrid attitude
You would end up with 1 of the best centers on the planet male or female.

The reactions to the Bogut-vs-Cambage incidents are, without fail, worse than the incidents themselves.

Bogut wasnt wrong at all.
I side with Liz in all her activism and her outspoken nature, but sometimes, she goes too far into always wanting to be angry about shit
her saying "tanned skin doesnt equal diversity" was a shot at the lighter skinnned Aboriginal athlete in the picture. Whether she meant it or not, she does not choose how racist her statement is or isnt, in the same way, no white person can say their racial remark wasnt meant to be racist. sometimes it just is, and for Liz to say that shit, kills people like me.
Light skinned Aboriginal people cop it already for not being "real" enough. Imagine having one of your strongest advocates, with a huge reach, saying something like that...
Hits me in a nerve and she has no right to backtrack and tell me it wasnt a shot in my direction.
If she could, a lot of closet racist white people that blow their cover would never have got in trouble.
Shes good most the time, but in this, she fucked up and Bogut was right RE: that statement, which atheltes were available and if we want diversity, how does the metric measure diversity
"her saying "tanned skin doesnt equal diversity" was a shot at the lighter skinnned Aboriginal athlete in the picture."
I understand she made a very clumsy point and made a dick of herself but are you not accepting her explanation?

I don't get the people who defend her. Other than being a great basketball player, her personality doesn't have a single redeeming quality. And no, I don't think she ever had a point re: photoshoot.
So because you don't like her, you don't agree with her? That's pretty immature.
