Participation in WNBA 'Say Her Name' Campaign

As a member of the Chicago Sky, Vandersloot participated in the WNBA's 2020 season dedicated to social justice, specifically the 'Say Her Name' campaign and the Black Lives Matter movement, which were frequently positioned in opposition to MAGA administration rhetoric.

Notes: The 2020 WNBA season was explicitly dedicated to social justice reform.

Agent rationale

Active participation in a league-wide social justice movement that directly challenged the then-administration's stance on racial justice is a strong anti-MAGA signal.

Same-Sex Marriage and LGBTQ+ Advocacy

Vandersloot is married to former teammate Allie Quigley. She has been a visible representative of LGBTQ+ rights in professional sports, a policy area where the MAGA movement has historically sought restrictions.

Notes: The couple is often cited as a prominent example of LGBTQ+ visibility in the WNBA.

Agent rationale

Absence from White House Visits During Trump Administration

Consistent with the majority of the WNBA, Vandersloot did not participate in or advocate for White House visits during the Trump presidency, a period when such visits were largely boycotted by the league.

Notes: The Chicago Sky (her team at the time) did not visit the White House during this era.

Agent rationale

The collective decision of WNBA teams to avoid the White House during the Trump administration was a widely recognized political statement of opposition.
