In a wide-ranging online discussion with Sally Jenkins of the Washington Post Monday, Clara Wu Tsai extolls the progress the WNBA and the New York Liberty have achieved, saying the appreciation of basketball and sports in general is less defined by gender, more by performance.
“I think that our audience really reflects the way that society has changed. People respect women in a different way than they did before, and I think that they can really appreciate these women just as elite basketball players. I think that they really appreciate performance, you know, regardless of gender,” said Tsai.
