While Cambage denies the allegations, she does say she was &#8220;physically assaulted&#8221; in the incident. In light of this, she has withdrawn from the Australian team. What did Cambage say on Twitter? Below, we&#8217;ll take a look.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"liz_cambage_allegedly_used_racial_epithets\"><\/span>liz cambage allegedly used racial epithets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Australian soccer player Liz Cambage has been accused of using racist epithets on social media. The Australian star is accused of calling players from a Nigerian soccer team &#8220;monkeys&#8221; and a &#8216;third world country&#8217; during a scrimmage. Cambage responded to the allegations on her Instagram page, saying she did not use racial epithets during the scrimmage. She also allegedly elbowed the opposing player in the head.<\/p>\n<p>The WNBA star was widely criticized for her actions in a recent incident. The WNBA star, who is half-Nigerian on her father&#8217;s side, reportedly used racist terms on Twitter. The player who was assaulted did not immediately respond to Cambage&#8217;s apology, and he was forced to leave the team for several days. The team&#8217;s disgruntled reaction led the WNBA&#8217;s executive committee to suspend Cambage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cambage_denies_allegations\"><\/span>Cambage denies allegations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>WNBA star Liz Cambage has denied accusations of racial slurs. The WNBA star was accused of using a racial slur against a Nigerian basketball player during a game. The incident allegedly took place on a game in New Zealand during which Cambage called the opposition team monkeys and a third world country. Cambage later denied the allegations and wrote a lengthy statement on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>According to her representative at the NBA, Cambage is innocent of the accusations. The team has since apologised to Cambage. In December, Cambage stated that she had &#8220;zero chance&#8221; of representing Australia at the FIBA Women&#8217;s Basketball World Cup. She also called out teammate Alice Kunek, whom she had accused of blackface. Cambage previously featured in an anti-racism ad campaign alongside NBA player Adam Goodes.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cambage_claims_she_was_physically_assaulted\"><\/span>Cambage claims she was &#8220;physically assaulted&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>During the 2012 Summer Olympics, Australia&#8217;s five-time WNBA All-Star Liz Cambage reportedly used racial slurs against Nigerian basketball players. Although she has denied the allegations, some of her teammates have said she was aggressive and used monkey slurs. In addition to calling the players monkeys, she also allegedly elbowed them in the head and told one of them to &#8220;go back to your third world country&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The video shows a tense moment in which Cambage is allegedly elbowed by a Nigerian player and a Nigerian national. In the ensuing melee, Cambage allegedly slaps the Nigerian player in the face. The alleged attacker then surprises her with a closed-fist punch, causing her to fall to the ground. The player who punched Cambage then claims that she was racially abused by her opponent.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cambage_withdraws_from_Australian_team\"><\/span>Cambage withdraws from Australian team<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In the midst of a scandal surrounding the Australia women&#8217;s basketball team, Liz Cambage has withdrawn from the squad. The basketball star has been under fire for allegedly partying too much while in Las Vegas. Opals have been discussing Cambage&#8217;s future in the wake of her recent alleged altercation with a Nigerian team member during a closed-door scrimmage. According to the Opals, Cambage denied that she had partied in Las Vegas, saying there were many lies floating around in the media.<\/p>\n<p>A statement released by the Australian team stated that the decision to suspend Cambage was made in the interest of the team and the athletes. The statement said that a thorough investigation into the incident is ongoing. In a statement, Australian team chef de mission Ian Chesterman stated that the matter is under review. Cambage is a four-time WNBA All-Star and has been linked to numerous controversy. She has reportedly broken a team protocol by posting two photos of a Jockey advertisement on social media. The company is the official underwear supplier of the Australian team.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" height=\"294\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-miQ5FfE204\" width=\"526\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Did Cambage Say on Twitter?
