If you have an identical twin and you love the WNBA, chances are they are a fan of this league. Aubrey Christal, Lorri and Christal are WNBA aficionados. Here's a look at what a WNBA enthusiast looks like. Next, learn what you can do for your twins to become WNBA fans.
Lorri Gyenes loves the WNBA.
Lorri Kyenes from the Chicago Sky is no stranger at the game. She has been an avid fan of the league from its inception and is currently a season ticket holder. Judy Gertz is also a Chicago Sky season-ticket holder. She is also married. The two met for the first-time in Chicago in 2013.
WNBA fans go beyond their favorite players and teams to connect with others. Organizing events to celebrate the game is an easy way to create a community. Even the smallest events can bring together people not connected to the league. This kind of fan network can be a valuable resource for leagues, helping them to grow their audience. But how can a community of fans develop?
Aubrey supports the WNBA
Aubrey DeMarco became a lesbian at the age of 35. Later, she moved to New York City with her friends and attended a Liberty football game. During a timeout, she saw a group of lesbians laughing and kissing while watching the game. They were protesting at the WNBA for not supporting their queer fans. This was a turning point for the WNBA, and their queer fans.
Grey grew-up supporting the WNBA despite having a queer identity. She even sang in the pep band at Texas A&M University, where her father played football. She remembers the We Got Next' commercials. Now she is a fan of several teams. She is particularly excited for the visibility of WNBA basketball players, who are often overlooked on TV. Since then, her fandom has grown exponentially.
Christal and Christia have identical twins
Known as the "WNBA moms," DeWanna Bonner and Christal are identical twins who are also basketball fans. The Indiana Fever forward is currently the 10th highest-scoring WNBA player. Though they weren't looking to become role models for LGBT people, they have made a name for themselves. In the NBA, both twins have become role models for other women who want to make a name for themselves.
Kevin is a WNBA fan
To the question of "Who is best in the league?" "I'm a WNBA lover," is the typical response. It's clear why the WNBA is the most popular professional basketball league. However, it can be difficult to convince because WNBA players rarely win most of the important awards such as Most Valuable Player. This is where we come in. But as a WNBA fan, don't worry, because there are many ways to make a WNBA season worth watching.
Consider first the demographics for WNBA players. The younger generation has grown-up watching college women's basketball on TV. Leslie's USC days have been forgotten by the post-Lobo Generation. Their heroes are instead Taurasi, Holdsclaw and Catchings. It's not unusual to see high school seniors who were raised in Texas Tech during the Swoopes Era or to have watched Chamique holdsclaw compete for Tennessee in her 20+ game.
