Lynette Woodard's Fight for Fair Play

Lynette Woodard, a pioneer in basketball, is taking a stand against a company for using her name without permission. The company, Undrcrwn, sold expensive hoodies and sweatsuits bearing her name. Woodard claims she never authorized this use of her identity.

A Legend in Basketball

Woodard is a notable figure in the sport. She was the first woman to play for the Harlem Globetrotters and won a gold medal in the 1984 Olympics. Despite her achievements, she alleges she was denied rightful compensation. The company sold these items between 2021 and 2024, and although Undrcrwn stopped production last year, the items remain available online.

The Lawsuit

The lawsuit asserts that neither the company nor the Globetrotters sought her permission. They knew she wouldn't agree to it for free. Woodard is seeking damages and advocating for fair treatment of athletes.

An Impressive Career

Woodard's career is nothing short of remarkable. She played in the first WNBA season and holds the title of all-time leading scorer in women's college basketball. However, this lawsuit highlights that even top athletes can be exploited. It serves as a reminder to always stand up for what's right.
