00:00Sometimes it's frustrating the level of disrespect there is towards our league.
00:07It makes me feel like, I mean, we're just not, we're undervalued.
00:11It's just now really getting exposed and it really isn't even fully exposed.
00:31Media outlets don't normalize women's basketball on them.
00:35It's 50 men's posts for every one women's post.
00:38And, you know, if people were to continuously put us on there as much as they put men's,
00:43then it would become normal and people wouldn't feel the need to go out of their way to hate it.
00:47But people put less and less of it because of the amount of hate without realizing that's not helping the problem.
00:52There's sports, I mean like bowling, or they're playing games that, like college games,
00:59that you already know the score, you already know what happened.
01:02While a WNBA game is going on, when they're disrespecting the WNBA, they're disrespecting me as a person too.
01:22Some players getting injured, you know, having to play year-round with no break in between, that plays a part.
01:40The reason we do that is so we can get a little bit of the money that we're not getting in the country.
01:45The money could be better for the players in the WNBA. It just, I can't say it, I mean it just sucks.
02:07Some of the greatest athletes of all time, not just greatest athletic women of all time.
02:12Talk about what our U.S. National Soccer Team just accomplished.
02:16We just want them to be appreciated as such, just like in the WNBA.
02:20I want my son to know who Sheryl Swoopes is as much as he knows who Michael Jordan is.
02:25For me that's important, and I think that needs to be important to all society.
02:29I think we need to continue to push it and continue to kind of fight for the future of this league
02:36and making sure that people continue to support it because when it comes down to it,
02:41we have a lot of supporters and there are a lot of people that would be interested in women's basketball,
02:44but it's not covered enough.
