Former U.S. President George W. Bush received an unexpected new title when he was introduced as the WNBA’s first-ever Honorary Commissioner during the Dallas Wings’ home opener.
Dressed in a custom jersey featuring the playful message “Dubya for Three,” Bush embraced the lighthearted occasion and joked about taking on a role that could appeal across party lines. He even joined WNBA players for a three-point shooting competition as part of the celebration.
In his honorary position, Bush is expected to help promote women’s sports, encourage greater media attention for women’s athletics, and contribute to the creation of a special “Freedom Ball,” drawing inspiration from his well-known interest in painting.
The unusual announcement quickly became a talking point, attracting reactions from athletes, political personalities, and basketball fans.
