The WNBA has never enjoyed the level of attention it has now, with ratings through the roof,arena attendance breaking records, and merchandise sales soaring by an astonishing 236%. Rookie sensations Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese are leading jersey sales, thanks to their outstanding performances, popularity, and positive media presence. They are complemented by the stellar play of veterans like A’ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu, and Breanna Stewart.

However, the latest viral moment isn’t about Caitlin Clark’s first triple-double by a rookie in WNBA history or Angel Reese’s record breaking13 consecutive double-doubles. Instead, it’s a video of a fan knitting what appears to be a blanket or scarf during a foul review in a game between the Washington Mystics (5-17) and the Minnesota Lynx (15-6).

Thank you for watching

As the spotlight on the league intensifies, the referees also face increased scrutiny and pressure. While they have performed admirably for the most part, there is hope that they won’t emulate their NBA counterparts, who sometimes call every contact a foul or seek to draw more attention than the players themselves-Scott Foster, we’re looking at you.

With the season nearing its halfway mark, the month-long break for the Olympics, starting on July 18th, looms ahead. The excitement and intrigue will only grow when the league resumes, with all eyes on Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese. A potential playoff showdown between their teams, the Indiana Fever and Chicago Sky, would undoubtedly be a highlight.

This WNBA season has set new standards, and the anticipation for what comes next is palpable. Fans eagerly await the return from the Olympic break, hoping for more memorable moments and thrilling basketball action.

The “Hawk Tuah” Girl, Hailey Welch, has confirmed receiving an offer from Playboy Magazine on the back of her newfound internet fame.

Welch immediately went viral after appearing in a random street interview and describing her most irresistible bedroom move, coining the term “Hawk Tuah.”

Since then, she’s become one of the most talked-about persons on the internet and has undertaken a few ventures seeking to parlay the moment into profit, which is already the case given her line of merch.

Hailey has also been propositioned by Playboy but turned down their offer, while she’s confirmed she’s not on OF and won’t be launching an account there either.

She revealed as much during an Instagram Q&A session (H/T Thespun.com).

“That is true,” she said regarding the Playboy offer. “They reached out to my friend Chelsea wanting to include us in some of their stuff, and we turned it down, so that’s true.”
