  • It helps that fans are loyal. A Nielsen study found that WNBA fans are 1.8 times more likely to engage with a team online and 18 percent more likely to chat about it with friends and family; and 1 in 3 fans actually makes a purchase that supports their team.

The article from Essence discusses the cultural revolution within the WNBA, highlighting how the league has become a platform for social activism, particularly around issues of racial justice, gender equality, and the rights of the LGBTQ+ community. It notes the significant role of Black women in the league, who have used their platform to speak out on various social issues, thereby transforming the WNBA into a beacon of progressive values in sports. The piece also touches on the league's efforts to increase visibility and support, including through partnerships and initiatives aimed at promoting inclusivity and equity. Key figures like Maya Moore, who paused her career to focus on social justice, and the collective actions of players during significant events like the 2020 season amidst the backdrop of global protests, are highlighted as pivotal moments in this ongoing cultural shift.
