She had previously run a mixed club, where gay and straight Blacks and whites partied together. “It was kind of a miracle, really,” she once said.

       On Monday, the WNBA announced it’s adding three new franchises, bringing the league to a record 18 teams. Cleveland will begin play in 2028, Detroit joins in 2029, and Philadelphia will tip off in 2030.
