"It has been a long few days since Kate Martin was dropped from the Valkyries squad. This fan dyed her hair purple, dressed head-to-toe in violet and painted the number "20" over her face. During the game, she brandished a giant "Missing" poster with Martin's face on it. (FYI the WNBA store now has Kate Martin Valkyries jerseys on sale, tear.)"
"This fan came with a loudspeaker that cycles through playing Flau'jae's "WOAH" and Camoflauge's "Cut Friends," vowing never to visit Seattle. At halftime they find the fan wearing the Kate Martin jersey and together the two pass a flask back and forth. The pair finish the game in silence."
"The Queer Couple That Met On Lex That Johnson Was a Valkyrie Before She was Traded They both answered "Who is your celebrity crush?" with "Veronica Burton.""
"The 6 a.m. Cycling Class from a Boutique Fitness Studio That We Happen to Like We all mourn differently. The Golden State Valkyries are playing the Chicago Sky this Wednesday May 13 at 7 p.m. at the Chase Center. Buy your tickets Can't swing the ticket price? The Chase Center's outdoor plaza screens the game live and free."
Fans attended the Valkyries home opener at Ballhalla, also known as Chase Center, in full force. One fan mourned Kate Martin by dyeing her hair purple, dressing in violet, painting the number 20 on her face, and holding a giant “Missing” poster with Martin’s image. Another heartbroken fan wore a custom Flau’jae Johnson jersey and ordered food in less than an hour. A queer couple met on Lex and bonded over the fact that Johnson had been a Valkyrie before being traded. Other attendees included an early-morning cycling class group and elderly grandparents from a very small town. The piece also notes a free live screening in the Chase Center outdoor plaza for those who cannot afford tickets.
