Last week, celebrity sports couple Russell and Nina Westbrook attended a UCLA women’s basketball game.

A shot of the couple played onESPN with a commentatorexcitedly saying, “Hey, Russell Westbrook is in the house, speaking of some former UCLA royalty.” A banner below the couple then reads: “Russell Westbrook: UCLA Point Guard (2006-08)” — completely ignoring Nina.

“How did the announcer just blatantly overlook the fact that his wife is an alumni and former player at UCLA,” one person questioned.

I mean, the couple was there to support Nina’s former team. Other publications later posted the same clip on Twitter, also excluding Nina.
