Liz Cambage had the potential to be one of the greatest basketball players in history until facing a massive setback during the 2021 Summer Olympics playing for the Australian National team.
In a scrimmage against the Nigerian National Team, Liz Cambage called the players ‘monkeys’ and told one of the girls to “Go back to your third-world country.”
The game was called off because Cambage was slapping girls and throwing elbows. She was never officially suspended from the Australian team but she hasn’t played with them since.
But Liz sat down with Taylor Rooks to give her side of the story.
Liz Cambage says she’s in talks to leave the Australian team to represent Nigeria in the Olympics.
She maintains she did not use a racial slur towards the Nigerian team during a scrimmage ahead of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics

And that’s that on that. Liz Cambage isn’t racist. Girls don’t like her, first of all. And second of all, she’s about to play for Nigeria sooooo…
“We’re filing for me to leave the Australian national team so I can represent Nigeria. I’ve been in cahoots. I’ve been talking with them since all of this happened. This is what I mean. People don’t know the truth.”
See, this whooooole thing is a conspiracy.
Why would Liz Cambage call Nigerians monkeys when she’s been talking to the coach about playing for the team? Clearly, this story was planted to make Liz look bad so she has to join the team for PR reasons or whatever.
Here’s Promise Amukamara from the Nigerian team immediately saying Liz is lying:

Sure, if you’ve ever interacted with another human being before then you know what someone lying looks like and Liz Cambage dressed like a sick Victorian child across from Taylor Rooks saying she is pro-black and never uses racial insults while laughing nervously and pretending as if Taylor is silly for asking looooooks like a woman who is not telling the truth but y’all don’t get it.
I know she’s dressed like a slave master trying to tell us she doesn’t hate Africans but there’s more behind the scenes we don’t know about. Just like Liz Cambage didn’t randomly quit on the Los Angeles Sparks last season.
It seems like she abandoned her teammates and fans after a loss to the Las Vegas Aces but this is all a conspiracy because again, girls don’t like her and something something Nigerian coach.
Free Liz. She’s stuck playing in the Israeli league and dressing like Pennywise surrounded by people who also have no problem calling Nigerians monkeys all because girls don’t like her and a coach or whatever. It’s a damn shame.
