Bush was named the WNBA\u2019s first-ever Honorary Commissioner. The 43rd president, wearing a custom \u201cDubya for Three\u201d jersey, joked to reporters,<\/p>\n
After the White House, I figured I\u2019d finally take a job where the plays are actually bipartisan.\u201d<\/p>\n
The league cited Bush\u2019s longtime support for women\u2019s sports and his viral 2023 appearance at a Wings game\u2014where he enthusiastically demonstrated his free-throw form\u2014as inspiration for the role.<\/p>\n
The move sparked immediate reactions across the political and sports worlds. Former First Lady Michelle Obama tweeted,<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s got next? (Seriously, this is awesome.),\u201d while WNBA star Brittney Griner welcomed Bush with a cheeky \u201c<\/p>\n
Hope you like dunking on Twitter trolls, sir.\u201d Even critics acknowledged the savvy PR move, with one ESPN analyst noting, \u201c<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll bring more attention to the league in one week than most politicians do in a lifetime.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bush\u2019s duties will include ceremonial tip-offs, advocating for expanded media coverage, and\u2014in a nod to his painting hobby\u2014designing a special<\/p>\n
\u201cFreedom Ball\u201d for the 2024 All-Star Game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI promise no hanging chads on the scoreboard,\u201d he quipped during the press conference<\/p>\n
, before joining Wings players for an impromptu three-point contest (sources confirm he went 1-for-10).<\/p>\n
The WNBA hopes Bush\u2019s appointment will amplify its push for gender equity in sports.<\/p>\n
As the former president left the court, he left fans with a signature Bushism: \u201cFool me once\u2026 shame on you<\/p>\n
. Fool me twice\u2026 well, let\u2019s just say these ladies don\u2019t get fooled at all.\u201d<\/p>\n
The league\u2019s season tips off next week\u2014with a presidential seal of approval no one saw coming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
