This must be what it sounds like to win gracefully. Silence, save for the moments when record-setting attendance applauds the most popular WNBA season yet. I, and many other dudes like me, would not handle victory this well. I’d be launching smug GIFs at anyone who once went out of their way to harp on the WNBA, heaping comeuppance posts at Bill Simmons and Clay Travis’ Twitter accounts every time raving news of the WNBA’s success hit (had they not blocked me already). WNBA fans should be running five-women weave victory laps in the face of anyone who poked fun at the league’s right to try and make a business out of a good time, and a professional sport out of great basketball.

The WNBA is finally getting the love it always deserved

Sunday was going to be a difficult day for Yuki Tsunoda at the Belgian Grand Prix. With Visa Cash App RB F1 Team making many changes to his RB01, including replacing components beyond the number allotted to each driver throughout a single season, Tsunoda was hit with a staggering 60-place grid penalty for Sunday’s race. Given that there are only 20 cars on the grid, that meant that no matter where he qualified on Saturday, he was starting at the back of the field.

The NHL has plenty of players that are hated by opposition players and fans alike, but none more than Nick Cousins, who is yet to garner interest in free agency. The Florida Panthers went on to win their first Stanley Cup in 2024, and unsurprisingly, many of the key contributors that team went on to sign huge deals in free agency shortly thereafter.
