We see it on other, in other leagues with other athletes.
So I think us as WNBA players just have to like, we have to ignore it.
We have to rise above it.
And that's easier said than done.
But that's what happens when you have more eyes, you have more viewers, you have more opinions, people are betting on our games.
And like, that's a whole different conversation of how that has shifted sports culture and stuff.
I think everybody handled it well, though, because I think everybody elevated their level of play and we retained a lot of those new fans.
And I know a lot of players now are getting their flowers and they have a new fan base that they didn't have prior to this rookie class because they came ready to play.
Yeah, I think after going to your game, I think we had a conversation on the next episode after that where the experience is great where I think

But I think because female rap is where it is in dominating men right now, why a Meg or Glorilla or somebody isn't like the brand ambassador or creative director of the WNBA is beyond me.
Just like as even consulting or anything.
Like using that.
Again, that's probably expensive.
So I think that's probably part of it.
But I think the W is heading in the right direction.
We're in the middle of our negotiations with our new collective bargaining agreement.
And we just had a meeting in Nashville with all the W players that were playing in Athletes Unlimited.
