Women Are Exhausted After Former UCLA Star Nina Westbrook Was Seemingly Ignored At A Game While Her Husband Was Praised

Women are dominating in college basketball right now, but an unfortunate moment during March Madness recently went viral.

Last week, celebrity sports couple Russell and Nina Westbrook attended a UCLA women's basketball game.

A shot of the couple played on ESPN with a commentator excitedly saying, "Hey, Russell Westbrook is in the house, speaking of some former UCLA royalty." A banner below the couple then reads: "Russell Westbrook: UCLA Point Guard (2006-08)" — completely ignoring Nina.

"How did the announcer just blatantly overlook the fact that his wife is an alumni and former player at UCLA," one person questioned.

I mean, the couple was there to support Nina's former team. Other publications later posted the same clip on Twitter, also excluding Nina.

Many people found this incredibly disrespectful, with one person writing: "Nina Westbrook, who actually played women's basketball for UCLA, should get some recognition."

Agreeing, another person called out the erasure of women in sports: "This post is a great example of how publications can actively do great work for women's sports but still at their core cater to men."

"Put some respect on Nina! She hooped there too," this user wrote. "It's still Women's History Month, you clowns."

"And @ninawestbrook, UCLA WBB Class of 2011!" the official UCLA Women's Basketball account wrote.
