WNBA Finals proves fans tough it out even as leagues don't deserve them
It shouldn't be this difficult. Following your favorite team shouldn't be an exercise in being told, again and again, that your opinion, your scruples, your convenience and your wallet don't matter.
In the midst of a workday and with only a week’s notice, fans traveled to Atlanta and packed sports bars nationwide to watch the WNBA Finals. The Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries faced off in an early matinee game, despite the arena’s seating being secured only days prior. The 17,099 seats were filled, marking the fifth most-watched WNBA Finals game in history.
Despite the league’s missteps, like scheduling and betting promotions, fans continued to support their teams. The WNBA’s growth lies in embracing its imperfections and appreciating the dedication of its fans.
