Sydney Colson was involved in a hilarious exchange of words on X, formerly known as Twitter. In the midst of the conversation, the Las Vegas Aces guard also had a funny exchange with her teammate Alysha Clark.
As it happened, a user named Matthew A. Cherry wrote on X that 'Little Tikes', a toys manufacturing company, should start making the WNBA version of kids’ basketball toys. Replying to the post, Colson said that she had a different name for the toy.
“Ok but instead call it Little Dyke.”
Another user came in and took an indirect shot at Colson’s sexuality.
“Not everyone is gay in the W!”
The WNBA star had a very calm and hilarious reply to the heckler. Disagreeing with the user, Colson wrote:
“Umm yes they are.”
By then, it was her teammate, Aces forward Alysha Clark, who stepped into the conversation. The exchange between the teammates also took a hilarious turn.
“Sydney it’s too early lol,” Clark wrote.
“Wake y’all fruity butts UP!” Sydney Colson replied.
The chemistry between the players on the Las Vegas Aces team has been one of the biggest factors in their success in the last few seasons. From Kelsey Plum and A'Ja Wilson to Colson, players have maintained a relationship with each other that ties them beyond the basketball court.
Currently, Sydney Colson is dating Amadi Brooks, a former college basketball player. However, Brooks is now a stylist, professionally styling A'ja Wilson, Jackie Young and Bam Adebayo. She also styles Colson, but of course without any charge.
Sydney Colson is not changing for anyone
One of the reasons that makes Sydney Colson one of the coolest players in the WNBA is because she has embraced every side of her own being. Colson has never taken a step in bad faith just to be accepted and that remains her identity to this day.
When asked what had made her journey in the WNBA so unique, Colson said that she had never cheated her identity.
“I am who I am, wherever I am. I make sure that I’m myself. I’m not changing who I am for any crowd,” she told 'For The Win' after deciding to return for Athletes Unlimited Pro Basketball. “When you show up as yourself everywhere you go, people respect that.”
After being drafted in the second round of the 2011 WNBA Draft, Colson struggled to find her footing in the league. Fast forward 13 years later, the Aces star is a two-time WNBA champion, fighting for third in a row.
