Welcome to the role! Let's also honor the NBA, and the first female refs Dee Kantner and Violet Palmer who were hired by the NBA in 1997.

Jen Pawol will become the first female umpire ever to work a regular season Major League game during this weekend’s Marlins-Braves series in Atlanta.

Pawol, a Minor League Umpire since 2016, is one of 17 current Triple-A call-up umpires eligible to substitute in Major League games. She will work the bases in both games of Saturday’s doubleheader.

The crowd ROARED...

Stephen Curry appeared on the screen, and the whole arena erupted.

But he wasn’t the only legend showing up to support the Golden State Valkyries today. Megan Rapinoe. Sue Bird. Dawn Staley.

Influencers. Showing up. Making it known: women’s basketball matters.

This wasn’t just a game.

It was a statement.

This is what real support looks like.

When the Golden State Warriors and Golden State Valkyries show up for each other, they’re not just building fans.

They’re building the future of sports.

It’s not just about who’s on the court.

It’s about who shows up off the court to say: “We see you. We believe in this.”

⚡Let’s keep showing up.

📣 Let’s keep raising the volume.

💥 Let’s make this moment a movement.
