"The Sky continue to make unforced errors. They don’t hold on to talent. They don’t provide support necessary to compete. And they’ve managed to alienate the hometown fans. The Reese trade should be cause a moment of reflection, but they’re too stuck in their ways to change."

Women's title game gets Easter bounce as Bruin beatdown nears ten million Easter Sunday continues to fuel sports viewership, as the NCAA women's basketball national championship entered rare territory despite a rout.

The Women's title game attracted nearly 10 million viewers.

Remember, a consultant (not the market) convinced the NCAA to sell the media rights to women's college basketball for just $65 million per year.

The men get $1.1 billion!

WNBA should be embarrassed by Chicago Sky owner, Michael Alter needs to sell | Opinion The Chicago Sky traded Angel Reese just when she was due a big payday. Another cheap decision by owner Michael Alter, who should just sell team.

The Angel Reese trade should be the last embarrassment. Chicago Sky owner Michael Alter needs to sell.

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

For women's hockey fans, the league's first U.S. broadcast is a watershed moment The broadcast is another aspect of the PWHL's post-Olympic growth, bringing visibility to the talent supporters know has existed for years.

Another NBA owner is buying into the WNBA. NBA owners now own two-thirds of the teams.

The NBA owners also own the NBA.

That is the same NBA that insists the WNBA has never been profitable.

Every time a troll repeats that profit story all we learn is that trolls are very gullible people!

Statement from the Women’s National Basketball Players Association Regarding the Players’ Ratification Vote NEW YORK, NY, Monday, March 23, 2026 -- “The WNBPA announced that, with over 90% participation and a unanimous vote to approve, the players have ratified the terms of the 2026 Collective Bargaining Agreement. This moment is the result of years of work and a shared belief that as the league rises, so must the players. Too often, women have been told to be grateful for the opportunity. This union sees it differently. It is about knowing our worth and having the courage to demand more, not just for ourselves, but for those coming next. This is bigger than basketball. It shows what happens when women refuse to settle and claim what they have earned. It reaches beyond sports into workplaces everywhere, reinforcing what it means to be seen, respected, and compensated fairly for the work you do. This transformational CBA delivers consequential economic progress and expanded benefits that support players on and off the court. It builds a stronger foundation for today’s players, the next generation, and those who helped build the WNBA. It affirms the strength of our union and the power of our collective voice. Now it is time to get back to the game and the fans we love, competing at the highest level, and showing exactly what this league can be.”

WNBA BOARD OF GOVERNORS RATIFIES TERMS OF NEW COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENT NEW YORK, March 24, 2026 – The WNBA Board of Governors has unanimously ratified the terms for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), the WNBA announced today. The seven-year agreement will begin with the 2026 season and run through 2032. The WNBA and Women’s National Basketball Players Association will now work together to finalize the long-form agreement. “This marks the beginning of a bold new era of the WNBA – one made possible by the passion and dedication of the players, team owners, fans, investors, partners and the entire WNBA family,” said WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. “We remain focused on building on the unprecedented momentum around the league and preparing for our milestone 30th season, tipping off in May.”

The 30th WNBA season is officially on!

The @wnba.com ratified the latest agreement, as did the union (Monday).

Here are the statements from both parties.

The Man, the Myth, the Legend: Adam Larsson | Seattle Kraken Many consider the 31-year-old Kraken alternate captain an enigma. We go around the locker room to hear from teammates to better understand the lore of Adam Larsson
