It is exceedingly rare for professional sports franchises to endorse political candidates.
The Seattle Storm of the WNBA announced Wednesday the team has endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of Election Day.
“Here at the Storm, we are advocates for equality and opportunity,” the team wrote via X. “We need leaders who fight for us all, all the time. Kamala Harris and Tim Walz align strongly with our mission and values, and we proudly endorse this presidential team.” Rookie superstars Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are widely credited with jumpstarting the league’s resurgence. Matchups between the two throughout the season became heated, leading to calls for intervention from Congress after Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., demanded the WNBA answer for repeated fouls against Clark.
“As a nation, we need to support women’s sports by showing up in person and watching on TV – with more sponsorships and programming,” Biden said. “Not just during championships. But all year round. Let's grow women’s sports and continue inspiring the nation.”
