One Woman Is Seeking To Make NFL WAG Community More Inclusive After Receiving Body Hate

One woman is turning her lemons into lemonade, proving that it is never worth letting the haters get you down. After receiving criticism on her physical appearance, Kalani Bagsby decided to work towards making the NFL WAG community more inclusive.

The Details: Kalani Bagsby is the girlfriend of Dallas Cowboys offensive guard Tyler Booker.

• The couple has been together since their freshman year at The University of Alabama.
• WAG stands for wives and girlfriends of professional athletes.
• As their relationship has been thrust into the spotlight, Bagsby has received criticism for her physical appearance.

Her Goal To Make The NFL WAG Community More Inclusive

As the girlfriend of an NFL athlete, there is no avoiding the spotlight. People Magazine shares some of the ways that Bagsby has been involved with the NFL.

• She participated in an “Instagram Stories takeover on the Women of the NFL Instagram account.“

While most of the comments on the video were encouraging and supportive, some took the opportunity to offer their opinions on her size. When speaking to People Magazine about the incident, Bagsby had this to say.

• “Oh my gosh,” she began, “the amount of hate I got on that one post, like for the Women of the NFL, the takeover post is just crazy.”

From there, she admitted that the hateful comments have been happening since the draft.

Not Letting It Get Her Down: Despite the negative onslaught, Bagsby is remaining optimistic.

• “I know how to handle [the hate],” she told the outlet. “And I don’t mind putting myself out there if it means I know I’m helping someone else, and I know that I’m showing someone else, ‘Girl, you can do this.”

Instead of letting the hatred make her self-conscious, she is using the opportunity to try to make the NFL WAG community more inclusive. She is determined to bring representation to the community for people with bodies that look like hers. Her main goal is to show that bodies come in all shapes and sizes and that you are perfect and beautiful just the way you are.
