Chris Peterson, a reporter for AZCentral Sports and NBC12, tweeted a picture of a letter his daughter wrote to Dick's Sporting Goods. McKenna was upset that Dick's didn't include any pictures of women in its "Basketball 2014 catalog."

The young girl calls herself a fan of WNBA team the Phoenix Mercury, as well as WNBA MVP Lindsay Whalen of the Minnesota Lynx.
