The GIST: The most highly anticipated WNBA season ever doesn’t begin for another six days, but the league’s already making headlines as they look ahead to next week’s regular-season tip-off. Prepare for takeoff.
✈️ Charter flights, inbound: WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced yesterday that the W intends to fund a full-time charter flight program as early as this season…once the league locks in the planes.
- The $25M, two-season investment is a long time coming and will allow all 12 teams to fly privately to every game, increasing player safety (and comfort) as the W’s popularity skyrockets. They’re soaring, flying.
