Description
On a postcard-perfect day in the Bay, thousands of Golden State Valkyries fans showed up and showed out along San Francisco’s waterfront Wednesday to celebrate their newly crowned champions of the WNBA.
The much anticipated victory parade delivered a double dose of joy and revelry in the region, just days after the Bay Area’s hugely successful professional women’s basketball team defeated the Atlanta Dream 68-63 to win the league championship.
The team’s focus on including and celebrating fans from many different backgrounds and lifestyles has helped drive sellout crowds for every home game, and the undying loyalty and reciprocal love was on full display Wednesday.
As Bay Area hip-hop music blared, the champs rolled by on violet buses dancing, throwing out swag and hopping out to dap up, hug and high-five their many fans throughout the Embarcadero, leaving a wake of exhilaration.
