NEW YORK — WNBA teams and players have gotten creative on social media to try and get out the vote for the All-Star Game.
Whether it’s making fun videos, appealing to college fan bases or even calling in a friend with a huge following on Twitter, the ploys seem to be working as fan voting is way up.
The initial returns were released Thursday night and there’s a 110 percent increase in votes cast from the same time frame in 2015. There was no All-Star Game last year because of the Rio Olympics.
