YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

It’s official, the WNBA is coming to Philly. After years of being overlooked, Philadelphia will finally welcome its first WNBA franchise in the summer of 2030. In this excerpt from the latest NIGHT SCHOOL episode, Marc Lamont Hill celebrates the news but doesn’t hold back on calling out how long it took to happen. He breaks down why this move matters, how it reflects deeper issues of gender and racial equity in sports, and what it says about the value placed on Black women athletes in particular.

WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert says Philly’s deep basketball roots make it the perfect fit, but Hill says it’s about damn time. Philly hasn’t seen a new major pro team since 2008, and this new WNBA squad represents more than just basketball; it's about respect, recognition, and rightful representation.
