On Sunday night, the New York Liberty won the team’s first-ever WNBA championship in 28 seasons. Team owner Clara Wu Tsai took advantage of that historic moment to remind viewers what made that achievement possible: investing in female athletes. "When we bought the team four years ago, they were playing at Westchester County Center to a crowd of 2,000," Wu Tsai said during the trophy presentation by commissioner Cathy Engelbert. "And the first thing we wanted to do was bring the team to Barclays Center so that they could have a bigger stage. And then we wanted to give them facilities and performance and nutrition and everything that they deserved because they’re such elite professional athletes." Her point was echoed by ESPN reporter Holly Rowe, who has covered the league for years. "This is what women’s sports can be," Rowe told the sold-out arena of more than 18,000 people. — A landmark WNBA season has ended—and players are using the offseason to fight for a better deal by Emma Hinchcliffe and Nina Ajemian Photo credit: Wendell Cruz/USA Today Sports
