WNBA Comes To Atlanta

Congratulations Atlanta!!

WNBA president Donna Orender was with Terwilliger recently, when the official announcement was made.

“As a great sports town and a region that enthusiastically supports women’s athletics, Atlanta is a terrific destination for the WNBA,” Orender said. “I commend Ron Terwilliger for his efforts in bringing the WNBA to Atlanta and know the league will benefit from his superior leadership skills, business acumen, and commitment to the community.”



Now if I could just convince them to play in only shorts and sports bras. If volleyball players can do why not the WNBA?

Do You Wanna Know...."How gay is the WNBA?"

During a recent interview comedian Vickie Shaw asked WNBA superstar Sheryl Swoopes "How gay is the WNBA?"

"It’s no gayer than the NFL or the NBA, It’s a very interesting question, because obviously, it’s a huge stereotype that all the women are gay." Swoopes pointed out that there are "lots of moms in the WNBA who have boyfriends, some of them are married." And, she added, there are "some who got married and then realized that they liked women" Swoopes acknowledged that "there are a lot of women in the WNBA who have [female] partners and have had partners for a while and feel very comfortable with that."

But Swoopes believes they don’t come out publicly because they don’t think they’ll be supported by the league. But her message to the black gay community is this: "Don’t be afraid." For so many years, Swoopes said she and Scott put the happiness of those around them - friends, family, teammates - before their own. "And we went to bed miserable, woke up miserable and [I] lived my everyday life just miserable because I was doing what everybody else wanted me to do."

Way to be a role model. Sheryl We lick you....LOTS!!
