if you’re having an intentional conversation + putting in the effort to not only speak but listen too, then using the correct pronouns isn’t that hard.
It only took 42 minutes for all 15,000 tickets to Caitlin Clark's return Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye arena to sell-out.
The WNBA preseason game will take place on May 4th between the Indiana Fever & the Brazilian National Team.
Currently, the lowest ticket price on @TickPick is $689.
There are *zero* women on the list of the world’s 100 highest-paid athletes. Not a single one.
And despite the tremendous growth of women's sports, this is the second straight year that women are completely absent from the list.
It's (way) past time to pay women athletes more.
Some perspective ⤵️
The average ticket price for this year's Super Bowl in New Orleans: $7,388 (per @TickPick)
The most expensive ticket for Caitlin Clark's last home game in Iowa in 2024: $6,489 (per @USATODAY)
In middle school, Sabrina lonescu helped recruit enough players to field a girls basketball team.
At Oregon, she helped WBB attendance grow from 1,500 to 10,000.
At the draft, the New York Liberty picked her first overall.
Now, she's a WNBA champion.

If you’re hating on Caitlin Clark today, you need to understand something:
Caitlin Clark’s talent hasn’t been overestimated; you have simply underestimated the level of talent in the WNBA.
People sure are QUICK to turn their backs on women athletes when they aren’t perfect.
What a season @IowaWBB and what a career @CaitlinClark22. We undoubtedly watched one of the all time best college careers….ring or not. Thank you for helping elevate our sport with your play, your poise, and of course your logo 3’s! I can’t wait to watch you at the next level!
Today is for every woman who has been told to get back in the kitchen.
Or been told that women don’t belong in sports - or received less because of their gender.
It’s for the women have fought, advocated & worked to break through glass and change the game.
Today is for you.
ANY PLAYER that experiences THIS vibe from your coach… one of a kind
- your level of confidence just goes thru the roof
- you know that your team and coach believes in you in more ways than one
- you feel untouchable
- and you work to get that day in and day out
what also needs to be noted is how poorly Hanover treated their EAs in this instance. $0.65 is not acceptable. these are exceptional human beings, performing hard tasks routinely. they love on the kids of the division, and do it with a smile.
i need all unions and members of unions to take a look at the Hanover EA strike. i have never seen individuals so happy to represent their job. singing, dancing, waving, buying coffee and treats for eachother. this strike was by far the best held.
