Orender: "Basketball is what's in my future."
/Donna Orender blabs on and on to Mechelle Voepel about the bright future of the WNBA, sending the no-so-subtle message that she's unwilling to take the LPGA Commissionership. Brand Lady 2 is not happening. My loss as a blogger, but the LPGA Tour's gain if Orender's buffet line manners were any indication of her potential for Commissionership buffonery.
"I believe in the promise of what everyone thought this league could be when it started 13 seasons ago, and it's going to continue to grow," Orender said Sunday. "The impact basketball has on young girls and the society at large is incredible. I've invested a lot of time in this, and have worked with really great people. I want to keep being part of that growth."
Thank Heaven, for little girls...oh sorry, and?
"There are longer-term plans about … how we continue to grow and keep moving in a positive direction," Orender said. "I anticipate next year we'll be focusing more on that."
Orender is enjoying these Finals but already looking ahead.
Wait, what finals? Oh, the WNBA finals. Silly me.
No wonder the PGA Tour can't get anyone to watch the FedEx Cup. It's up against the WNBA playoffs!
