The rise of the New York Liberty and the Unrivaled league has come hand in hand with the meteoric rise in popularity of women’s basketball in the last couple of years, with the WNBA’s attendance, viewership, and cultural resonance quickly skyrocketing. But it hasn’t been a smooth, or easy, ascent. After 17 months of heated negotiations and decades of inequity, the WNBA and its players reached a deal this spring that has completely transformed women’s basketball. Reporting for Vanity Fair, Yohana Desta spent an afternoon with Clara Wu Tsai, the billionaire owner of the New York Liberty, to talk about the league’s next chapter and the expansion that will forever change women’s professional sports. https://lnkd.in/eaPnY25Q
