Texas A&M assistant women's basketball coach Sydney Carter, 31, has defended her choice to wear pink leather pants to a game after she received backlash
'I'm unapologetically myself every day', she said
The furor began when Carter shared a photo of herself at the February 6 game against the Kentucky Wildcats
She was wearing the tight pink leather pants paired with a white turtleneck, clear heels and a pink breast cancer awareness pin at her chest.
'Is this outfit appropriate as a basketball coach? one fan demanded to know
Rather than the concerns about professionalism or practicality voiced by scores on social media, Carter thinks the problem lies with her status as a black woman
'When you see a black woman who is actually confident and embracing herself, I think that that's very intimidating'
Ultimately, the former WNBA player said, she wasn't trying to set trends or upend norms - she just wanted to 'unapologetically [be] myself'

Look at me! I’m an affirmative action victim!
Dear reasonisfaith;
I’m not aware of ‘nagging’ you; I’ve only responded to your posts.
You have a strange way of perceiving and thinking, and seem to believe that you can say anything you like without anyone countering you, simply because your political/philosophical point of view has become offended by a little light-hearted back-and-forth.
Not everything is about you, dear. I hope you feel better soon.
Sincerely,
Your friendly ‘Cultural Marxist’.
I don’t think those pants are attractive, but I’m not a guy.
She probably can’t bend over and she probably shouldn’t sit down. Splitz-Ville!
90% of weight will be on the toe side with that slope in shoes.
The heel will exert less PSI than a 200 lb man wearing regular leather shoes.
Exactly…all about ‘ME, ME, ME’….
Guilty!
I’ve got an ass as big as Dallas and you racists are just gonna have to used to seeing it
I agree.
Tacky and classless.
It’s going to limit her mobility later at the Sizzler Buffet Rumble.
Do the men coaches wear tight leather pants in any color?
I think her outfit is inappropriate including the heels but i am not a hipster.
However, the story of this thread isn’t even about being puritanical or not.
It’s about convincing normal Americans to dissolve little boundaries in their lives. Lines that seem small and meaningless, like a basketball coach wearing little girl clothes to a game.
But in erasing countless small boundaries like this one, cultural marxists think they can accomplish the ultimate breakdown of American culture.
Traditions and decorum must fall.
This woman is a pure narcissists. She want to be THE center of attention. It's not about the team. It's about everyone looking at her. Her ego feeds off the eyes watching her.
Agree. The fake leather pants trend has been around for a while. I see it all the time. It’s not a good time to be selling blue jeans with the popularity of yoga pants and other tight fitting fabrics.
A very few women can do justice to tight leather pants. Most look terrible, highly unprofessional, and have no idea how bad they look. The coach can try again after hitting the gym for a year.
You can buy lots of nice tight-fitting blue jeans, now. The stretchy ones are very comfy.
Agree. How about baseball managers no longer wearing suits? That must be those Marxists at work, too.
