the valkyries are such a prime example of what happens when you actually invest in women's sports. as an expansion team they had a limited talent pool and still found players like gabby williams (DPOY runner-up) and janelle salaun (6th POY). from the bright purple jerseys to playing games at chase center, to their own sephora performance center, you can tell how much thought went into building this team. they get treated like actual professional athletes, and it shows in how they play. they’re valued at $1B and have sold out every home game this year, including today, when they won game 5 of the wnba finals. so instead of talking about lowering the rims, how about we talk about investing in women’s sports?
