Yes. And that was the instigator for them because this was like this happened in our state. And when they did that, the security guards who are generally like off-duty police officers, they walked out. And then the rest of our league was like, wait a minute. Like we need to support this, be a part of this, make it bigger.
And that's actually the first time we really started to learn the power of like the collective. Like, yes, it was big when Minnesota did it. Cause then I think New York Liberty followed. I think maybe Phoenix Mercury followed. Then the whole league followed. And it was like, oh, when we're all doing this, then it's like a big boom versus just one team here, one team there.
So that was actually in terms of our journey as a league, that was the starting point of realizing the collective power.
Yeah, the Atlanta Dream. The whole league did it, our entire league. And that was like the beauty of the Wubble. Obviously, we're in a bubble because shit's crazy, COVID, George Floyd, like there's so much happening. But the beauty of the bubble was we were all together. And you know how it is. I mean, how hard is it to get on a Zoom with two other people? You know, finding time. It's impossible.
So for 144 women... to be in one place at the same time, you could just like strategize. Cause we were like, I know you're not doing shit. Get on this thing. Like come meet me.
So what we were side chatting about was, so there's, okay. So this is one of those experiences where I feel like a lot of people have this experience. Okay. Had Megan and I never ended up together, I never would have even remembered some of these little moments. They just would have been these like little bloops in your mind that come and go.
And it just never would have been like a big, huge factor. But because we did, we can look back on it and be like, oh, actually. So one of them is at that Olympics. Um, oh yeah. So she was at the after party. We're all having fun. And, um, she was standing over and I was like bringing her a drink and like making sure she was all set, that kind of a thing.
Just being a good host, you know, just kind of chilling.
So we're like, we're here. Yeah. So, yeah. So I kept like checking in on them, I guess, to be like, hey, you know. And at one point, you know, one of my close friends is Diana Tarazi. We obviously know each other very well. So I like had just left the table for probably like the fifth time or something, like walked away. And she comes out to me, she goes and get the fuck away from that table.
And I was like, what? She was like, I know what's happening. Get away from that table.
Yeah. And I was like, shut up, you know, like whatever, whatever. So again, had, you know, we never end up together, that wouldn't even be, I mean, I guess I would remember it because it's funny, but it just was like, whatever. But now looking back, I clearly was like, caring for her in this way. Yes. Like, I was, like, wanting to be near, but not in a disrespectful way.
That's, I guess, what I'm getting at.
But Diana saw it. Like, Dee saw it and was like, get the fuck away from my table.
Oh, so she think you think, but I think she was like, oh, I hope she ends up with Megan. Cause Megan seems cool. And I want to be your friend. No, Well, a little bit of both, but I think also she's like, wanted to, this is about you.
No, a little bit.
Oh God. I mean, presently Zoom calls, like one is on one and the other one is making noise. This is a huge, big issue in this household. It's a big issue.
She goes.
This is classic.
Oh, cool. There's nothing really in it. Yeah, you guys will definitely have to come visit. I'll be invited.
I feel like you need to tell it, but no, I mean, I just love every time we've, we've told this, we've shared this story just like a couple of times. Now it's going out to the masses.
