Hi, Sarah.
matched
Hey, thanks for having me.
matched
It's great to have you.
matched
So you just listened to that kind of awkward answer from Kathy Engelbert last weekend.
matched
What did you hear in there?
matched
Well, it's interesting because part of the job of being the commissioner for the WNBA is managing like quote unquote talent, right?
matched
And you can see the talent as being some of the executives.
matched
You can see the talent as also being the players.
matched
And it seems like she's had somewhat of an issue in running this league, especially when it comes to the players and managing that talent.
matched
Las Vegas Aces player Asia Wilson said this weekend there was a lot of distance, for instance, between herself, between, I should say, Engelbert and the players.
matched
I mean, that was— What a flex.
matched
Right?
matched
What a flex.
matched
Like, the only time I see her is when I get awards.
matched
Otherwise, like, not really having a relationship with her.
matched
What are kind of some of the other issues and or things that you've heard about the relationship she has or does not have with players?
matched
But also, like, you know, comparing that to the success that the WNBA has had.
matched
So there's some people that suggest that any commissioner for the WNBA is set up to fail.
matched
And the reason why is because, like, you mentioned Adam Silver earlier, who is the commissioner of the NBA, right?
matched
And with certain teams, there's kind of this unusual ownership structure in which they operate under dual ownership under the WNBA and the NBA.
