A basketball magazine created by women, the team behind Flagrant are ‘used to hoops—jumping through them, watching them, and playing them.’ With a focus on the stories of women and BIPOC women, this compact publication aims to offer a different perspective on this popular sport.
Issue seven is themed ‘Married to the Game’, focusing on the athletes, artists and supporters who are motivated by their love of the sport. Thumb through the issue to discover inspiring features on the viability of ethical basketball under capitalism; sports analyst LaChina Robinson’s latest entrepreneurial venture The Rise, a platform dedicated to amplifying women’s basketball; and the pregnancy discrimination lawsuit that ignited a landmark collective bargaining agreement, securing full maternity pay for WNBA players alongside further benefits and accommodations.
