Former President George W. Bush was named the WNBA’s first Honorary Commissioner during the Dallas Wings’ home opener. Wearing a custom “Dubya for Three” jersey, Bush joked about his new bipartisan role before joining players in a three-point contest.
His ceremonial duties will include promoting women’s sports, advocating for expanded media coverage, and designing a special “Freedom Ball” inspired by his painting hobby. The surprising appointment quickly attracted attention from sports stars, political figures, and fans.
