Few college female athletes have received as much attention as Haley Cavinder and Hanna Cavinder, better known as the Cavinder twins across many different social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

While accomplished basketball players for Fresno State and then Miami after each making a transfer, their personalities, hard work and beauty have all combined to help them earn fame and fortune. Some people may have looked at differently, however.

One can certainly create his or her own opinion of the article written by Ethan Strauss from The Free Press. That stated, the following quote from Hanna pretty much summed up the thoughts from the twins, as it defined what they believed they were getting into when they agreed to do the article, as well as how disappointed they had become.

"The piece disregards our work ethic and dedication towards NIL and business endeavors. He fails to acknowledge the young girls/woman that follow us and that we work so hard to inspire. Instead he degrades us down to "hot girl(s)". We agreed to do this interview and wanted to support a woman ran news outlet. We are both disappointed and disgusted by this journalism practice and blatant sexist trope. We only wish to inspire young woman to chase their dreams, work hard, think big. Now we must also defend them against men that wish to sum their potential to physical appearance."

The Cavinder twins have decided to not return to the University of Miami and will instead go out on their own. It will be interesting to see which writer gains the next interview from either one of them, after the above comments from Hanna. Here's the full comment from Hanna via her Twitter:
