Sell Tickets

 
I wasn't familiar with Skylar Diggins before I read this story. But after being flooded with stories about Britney Griner coming out last week. This is a breath of fresh air.Even though Jay Z is exploiting her. He'll get more miles out of that Mercedes Benz than her. It was still a nice gesture. The WNBA is growing in popularity, but it isn't mainstream yet. I don't think possible fans first impression should be that of a homosexual being league MVP . Lisa Leslie and Candace Parker aren't exactly household names. And they are both pioneers in their own  right. The league is banking on the fact that Britney Griner can dunk. But it might just be their future.

Britney may have gone first in the WNBA draft, but she isn't the brightest star overall. I would have been fine with her talking about her talents as opposed to her sexuality.. At 6'8" and feet like  Shaquille O'neal people aren't surprised that she can slam. People don' t want to see a female Dennis Rodman dominate the league. They just  want to see some good looking females who can play. A roster filled with players who look like Skylar Diggins will definitely sell  tickets.
