I was not only at that press conference, I was sitting front and center at that press conference.
And when they made those comments, I let out a little laugh.
Let me take you to pregame.
I was able to speak to a few fans because, as you know, over the last several weeks, there's been comments about the rise in ticket prices.
And some of those season ticket holders, they've been able to find me on media roll and air their grievances out to me.
And so before the game, a few came up to me and said, hey,
We weren't able to afford to renew our season, our playoff tickets because it was just too expensive.
So for one part of it, I think that maybe some of the faithful fans just was not in the building because they couldn't afford to come see the playoffs.
That's one part of it.
When I was on the media roll yesterday, also, I did also see fans leaving at halftime, leaving in the middle of the third quarter.
And I think that the energy went down because the Liberty wasn't really giving the fans anything to cheer for.
And so people were leaving out of that building second quarter, third quarter.
And it was really sad, sad to see, because usually when you're at Barclays, it's packed.
People were cheering on the team, good or bad.
But I think the fans are just as fed up with how the Liberty are playing as everyone else is these days.
So that was the gist of it.
Yeah, the Valkyries definitely have a lot to be proud of because not only did they push the number one team to the brink in that exciting game too, but also Veronica Burton finished most improved.
Kayla Thornton finished as an all-star.
Natalie Nakase got coach of the year, sold out all of their home games.
Had over 19,000 fans attend their first ever playoff game.
