The WNBA has recently attracted significant attention, and former First Lady Hillary Clinton made an appearance at a recent game. On Monday, Clinton attended the New York Liberty game against the Seattle Storm, sitting courtside next to team owner Clara Tsai.
During the game, Clinton interacted with players, including Liberty’s Sabrina Ionescu. However, it was the Liberty mascot, Ellie the Elephant, that captured much of the spotlight.
Photos show Clinton enjoying the entertainment provided by Ellie, one of the WNBA’s standout mascots. Her reaction to Ellie’s performance drew comparisons to her animated response to balloons at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.
The mascot’s antics, including a headstand, seemed to delight Clinton, suggesting it was one of the most memorable shows she has seen recently.
Overall, the evening highlights how mascots contribute to the lively atmosphere at WNBA games and create memorable experiences for attendees.
