Amon-Ra St. Brown’s girlfriend Brooklyn Adams doesn’t want to be labeled “WAG”.
Brooklyn Adams has had enough. And honestly, who can blame her? She is dating Amon-Ra St. Brown, and somehow that automatically earns her the title WAG. Yes, the classic “Wife and Girlfriend” label that gets slapped on every woman who dares fall in love with an athlete.
And Brooklyn? She’s over it. Completely. Absolutely. Emotionally retired from the term.
It should be noted they have been together for 10 years and she is still a girlfriend.
During an interview with People published Tuesday, November 2, the 26-year-old nursing graduate laid out why the title doesn’t sit right with her. “We’re more than wives and girlfriends of athletes,” she told the outlet. “I have a name, and if you got to know me, then you’d realize that I’m more than just a girlfriend.”
Adams recently teamed up with Abercrombie for its “In Her Own League” campaign — a project that flipped “WAG” into “Woman Achieving Greatness and Success.” It resonated with her, but she’s still not claiming the original term. “I love that they put a spin on that. I don’t like the WAG title,” she said. “Nothing against anybody who likes it. It’s cute that girls put their own twist on it. But to be given that title, I’m not a fan.”
But what’s wrong being labelled WAG? Is it that she isn’t proud of dating Brown or the term just makes her less of herself?
Brooklyn wants respect. She wants her own identity. She wants the world to know she is more than her boyfriend’s stat sheet.
Still, the term “WAG” isn’t disappearing anytime soon. It’s too catchy. Too easy. Too convenient for sports commentators who love labels like oxygen.
