This is an exciting time in the WNBA.
Game attendance and viewership for nationally televised games are up. Dwyane Wade, new part owner of the Chicago Sky, was recently quoted by ESPN as saying, “Growth is going to happen, and so I want to be a part of the growth of this league.”The WNBA has two powerhouse teams, the New York Liberty and the Las Vegas Aces, with some of the best players in the league, if not all-time.
This is not the current reality. Last year, the NBA’s Orlando Magic trained at a new $70 million facility while the WNBA’s Chicago Sky practiced at a public recreation center in Deerfield. Chicagoans can help bring about a golden age in the WNBA. This Sunday, the Liberty are coming to town, while the Minnesota Lynx and MVP contender Phee Collier bring their talents to the Windy City the following Friday for the Sky’s final home game this season. Lower-level seats in the $100 to $200 range are available for both games, and there is nothing like watching great basketball up close and personal.
Fossil fuel companies’ current model is obsolete. They will not change, go green, until incentivized to do so. Viable green technologies exist today. Public pressure is needed to light a fire under the boards of directors to get off their comfy cushions of old-school status-quo business models. The news media have a social responsibility to provide carefully considered points of view. The public deserves quality information to make informed decisions.
