She gets a lot of media coverage because she is special. Her best friend has already gotten a ton of media coverage before ever playing a minute in college for the same reason, and she's not white.
How about you not try to change her message? I think she's plenty experienced and aware enough to tell. Issues like this are far deeper than just comparing two people and claiming it doesn't exist.

Paige's speech.


Pretty freakin' impressive that a player in Paige's position would devote her acceptance speech to this topic. This is one of the most mature 19-year-olds I've ever seen. Giving a master class on how to be both self-aware and socially aware without being self-centered.

I didn't change anything. If you think blacks aren't given credit or attention for sporting achievements you are free to argue it, but I will stand by my comment, thanks.

Yes, you did. No one said they aren't given any credit or attention; at issue is the equitability and proportionality of coverage.

If you're genuinely interested in what Paige actually said (though I suspect not), this article provides some background:
