SEATTLE -- WNBA President Donna Orender is the eternal optimist about her league, which is clearly preferable to having Chicken Little running the show.
So it can't be much of a surprise that on Sunday, in her annual state-of-the-league speech one hour before Game 1 of the WNBA Finals, Orender was all about the good news.
"In any way you want to measure it, we're a young, thriving business in very challenging times," Orender said.
Orender said that attendance is up for the fourth straight year -- the league reports a 1.4 percent increase in attendance over 2009 -- adding that "little-by-little we continue to grow our fan base."
She said that ESPN ratings and viewership are showing solid signs as well. Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments
