If you have an identical twin and you love the WNBA, chances are they are a fan of this league. Aubrey and Christal are WNBA fans, and so are Kevin and Lorri. For those who are not familiar with the WNBA, here is a visual guide. Then, find out what you can do to make your twins a fan of the WNBA too.
Lorri is a WNBA enthusiast.
The Chicago Sky's Lorri Gyenes is no stranger to the game. She is a Chicago Sky season ticket holder and has been a fan since its inception. Judy Gertz is also a Chicago Sky season-ticket holder. She is also married. The couple met for the first time in Chicago in 2013.
WNBA fans connect with other fans by going beyond their favorite players and teams. 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 does a fan community develop?
Aubrey supports the WNBA
When you're 35 years old, Aubrey DeMarco came out as a lesbian. She later moved to New York City and attended a Liberty game with friends. During the timeout, she observed a group lesbian fans laughing and kissing as they watched the game. They were protesting the WNBA's lack of support for its queer fanbase. This was a significant turning point in the WNBA's favor and for their queer fanbase.
Grey grew up with the WNBA despite being queer. She sang in the Texas A&M University's pep band. Her father was a football player. She still remembers the "We Got Next" commercials and now she follows many teams. She is particularly excited about the visibility of WNBA athletes, who are often not seen on TV. Her fandom has expanded since then.
Christal and Christia are identical twins
Known as the "WNBA moms," DeWanna Bonner and Christal are identical twins who are also basketball fans. The Indiana Fever forward is the 10th most successful WNBA player in history. They are role models for LGBT people and even though they were not trying to make a name for theirself, they have succeeded. The NBA has made both twins role models for other women who wish to be successful.
Kevin is a WNBA fan
The standard answer to the question "Who is your favorite player in the league?" is "I'm a WNBA Fan." It's no surprise that the WNBA is the most beloved professional basketball league in the globe. 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 the WNBA comes in. You don't have to be a WNBA snob, there are many ways you can make a WNBA season worthwhile.
First, think about the demographics and players in the WNBA. The younger generation has grown-up watching college women's basketball on TV. Leslie's USC days may not be well-known to the post Lobo generation. Instead, they look up to Holdsclaw, Taurasi and Catchings as their heroes. 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.
