Couple of notes about one of the thong basketball girls in the video courtesy of TMZ.
Her name is Melody Rae and she indeed played college ball at U of Tennessee at Martin. She is now a model and the video that Arenas famously posted to IG was for a calendar shoot.
She says in these quotes what a lot of people are thinking. She articulates Arenas’ point better than Arenas.
“I’m all about empowering women …and if wearing sexy attire helps to promote the game in any way I’m all for it.”
“Look at our video for instance. We were doing a calendar shoot and this fun video gets released and goes viral. The only reason people are paying attention to it is because of what we are wearing.”
“The women in the WNBA are prominent athletes that should have their arenas filled. I’m glad our video shed light on a league that deserves it and I support them whole heartedly.”
I seen nothing wrong with what she said. It is essentially what Arenas said, but not so crude.
If you want to see more of Melody scantily clad…….
