Like, I would hope, and I know this is not a thing in sports, we got to remember that two things can be true, right? She's been great for the league, but there were 144 women prior to her and this class that had gotten this thing up to year 28.

To that point, John, the conversation about marketing, yeah, sure, got it, makes sense, right? But there's also gotta be a realization that these women that have made this thing their living, they are not necessarily chasing the financial benefit. The WNBA highest paid player makes $250,000. Right. You know what I mean? And so there is room.

That's exactly it. So many of these women supplement their income in the league that they play out of love to play at home with their teammates in front of their families, and they go get their real money overseas. Right. That is changing. I do think that this class and Clark is all a part of it changing.

But I think just to slap on, do this because of the money, again, is disrespectful and unfair to the women that have gotten this league to this point.

I am, first of all, I'm thrilled about the WNBA's future. And yes, right? I didn't go to the WNBA, but I played sports all the way through college. Shout out to my Georgetown Hoyas, right?

And so that foundation, that base, that understanding, hard work, improvement, that understanding of competition, all of those things have helped me to be able to stand 10 toes down in these various rooms and these various conversations, right? It's intimidating. It is.

And in the same breath, the people that I'm having conversations with, whether they are well-established television personalities or former athletes, they have done the same in their own way, right? But it is a reminder, because of my background in sports, shout out to Keeping Young Girls in Sports for this exact reason, I, too, can be confident in the work that I've done to get to this place.

And for me, that has been beautiful. Who... It is beautiful.

I'm proud of you.

I want them to be great. Listen, I think they're on the right track.
