Cathy Engelbert’s Championship Ceremony Moment Draws Hostile Treatment As Valkyries Secure First WNBA Title

Cathy Engelbert’s final trophy presentation as WNBA commissioner was instantly drowned out by boos. Despite announcing her retirement earlier in the season, it seems that the bad blood between Engelbert and the WNBA fans hasn’t let up. The post-game celebrations took a turn on Saturday as Engelbert took the mic for the Finals trophy presentation. The Golden State Valkyries 68-63 win over the Atlanta Dream made the Valkyries the youngest expansion franchise to win a championship. But Ballhalla’s fans, who were celebrating the victory, immediately turned hostile as the mic was handed to Engelbert.
