In a completely unexpected and delightful surprise at the Dallas Wings’ home opener, former President George W. Bush was officially named the WNBA’s first-ever Honorary Commissioner. The announcement came to the delight of fans, players, and the media alike, with Bush making his entrance wearing a custom “Dubya for Three” jersey. Addressing reporters with his characteristic humor, he quipped, “After the White House, I figured I’d finally take a job where the plays are actually bipartisan.” The league explained that Bush’s long history of supporting women’s sports, coupled with his viral 2023 appearance at a Wings game—during which he passionately demonstrated his free-throw technique—made him an ideal candidate for the honorary role.
