Reminder that the FIBA Women’s World Cup started today, July 20.
Even if you aren’t interested in football/soccer, I highly encourage you to DVR the matches and/or have your tv playing them in the background. They will be replaying each of the matches multiple times so you should be able to catch at least one airing. In the USA they are on the FOX network. So your local Fox station as well as Fox Sports 1 and 2.
Why? Because for too many years men’s sports have dominated the sports scene and the excuse (by men) is that women’s sports just don’t sell.
Well I call bullshit on that and the viewing and attendance numbers of both Women’s College Basketball and the WNBA have proven that there is an audience if they make it available.
So please, help us continue to prove this fact.
We already know that there was a sold out stadium for the first game of the World Cup. Let’s give them amazing viewing numbers too.

FIBA World Cup will distribute a total of 3.4 million dollars in prize money among the 32 participating national teams, with each team receiving a base bonus of $53,568 and the Top 16 teams receiving an additional $107,135 euros each.
FIBA never had prize money for men's or women's world cups before this 2023 men's cup. The women's world cup was just one year ago and there was no prize money. But no one thought to ask for prize money because we didn't realize FIBA was hoarding cash for the men.
The women's basketball world was blindsided by this! But Sue Bird was there at this men's cup accepting her new role as a FIBA ambassador! There's a lot of hype and fanfare and media and interviews around her accepting her new role. But she hasn't said anything about this 3.4 million dollar prize money pool. If she knew about the men's prize money and didn't warn us about it, that would be discouraging. Hopefully she was somehow left out of the loop and they didn't tell her about the men's money. Once she finds out, she'll demand equal pay for the 2022 women's world cup teams, right?
There were only 12 teams at the 2022 women's world cup tournament. The top 16 men's teams received $160,703 each. So those 12 women's teams from the 2022 cup should receive $160,703 each. It would be absolutely insane if Sue Bird didn't demand equal prize money for the 2022 teams. I don't just want equal prizes in the future in 2026. That is not enough! I want to see equal prizes for the 2022 teams who just competed! If there was money on the table for men in 2023, that means there was money hidden away in 2022!
Ambassador Sue Bird's fiancée Megan Rapinoe built an entire global brand and movement around equal prize money for women. So I'll be interested to see how Sue responds to this.

Storm had two of the top five block leaders ⛈
Also, Ezi’s blk/game is mostly skewed by two games she popped off on the blocks, including one where she came off the bench.
vs France - 1
vs Mali - 1
vs Serbia - 0 (bench)
vs Canada - 5 (bench)
vs Japan - 0
vs Belgium - 3
vs China - 1
vs Canada - 0
