Lady ballers dream turns into reality with WNBL going pro
The Women's National Basketball League has made history anew. Already the first grassroots league to feature lady ballers, the fledgling sporting organization has gotten the green light from the Games and Amusement Board (GAB) to turn professional. "Basketball is not just for males," GAB Chair Abraham Mitra said in the online press conference announcing the development on Wednesday. "Because of what happened today, I think the NBL is also advocating gender equality. Kung may panlalaki, meron ding pambabae." The WNBL, and its counterpart for men, applied for professional status months ago and had no problem whatsoever getting approved. With that, the lady ballers' grassroots league now stands as the first-ever professional sports entity for Filipinas. For their part, league officials were nothing but grateful to GAB and all the supporters of women's basketball. The PSI Lady Air Defenders were crowned champions while Janine Pontejos claimed MVP in the WNBL's inaugural season in 2019. --- Follow this writer on Twitter, @riegogogo......»»
