Candice Wiggins was a WNBA player, and she confessed in an interview that she was harassed during her eight years in the WNBA for being heterosexual, a situation that caused his early retirement, because "98% of the players of the WNBA are lesbians ".
"People were trying to hurt me deliberately " she said. I was never insulted more in my life than in my rookie year. The message was, ' We want you to know that we don't like you. '
She confesses that she wanted to continue playing in the league, but that she had to leave for her "depressive" state. "I had a strong depression. It was very hard. I didn't like the culture of WNBA, they had annihilated our values. It was very toxic to me and I was breaking the spirit. " "Many people think that in that league you have to look like a man, play as a man to get respect. I thought otherwise. I was proud to be a woman, and that's why I didn't fit into that culture".
