I’ll be the first to admit, if my Libs don’t complete the drill I’d be overjoyed if the Valks romped through the playoffs

@roughnotes.bsky.social is doing @kqedforum.bsky.social this morning (on the Valkyries, naturally) and I for one am so pleased that the right kind of voices on women’s hoops are being centered in mainstream media for a change

Really cool story about the history of the WNBA in the bay area as filtered through an interview with Anna Johnson, the first player from Oakland to go pro in 1979.

i think she deserves to have the seniority control of making it happen in a few years she should be allowed to call a timeout for a wedding ceremony midcourt

Thank you for the follow up. I hope this gets more attention. I echo “Emily’s” sentiments as a queer person who has been describing Ballhalla as a refuge. Lately even my Wnba feed has been taken over by the transphobes - lots of blocking going on.

maya goldberg-safir @roughnotes.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Follow-up to what I wrote about the anti-trans group WAR (“Women Are Real”) demonstrating before a Valks game - a candid interview with an season ticket holder (chose to remain anonymous) who said it was the 1st time she questioned whether Ballhalla was REALLY built for queer fans in the long run:

wnbaroughnotes.substack.com

Rough Notes: “Maybe it wasn’t built for us... maybe I was duped.”

Another view of Chase Center’s response to anti-trans protestors, and a candid Q&A with one Valkyries season ticket holder.

media platforming s*phie's "takes" on who the next wnba commish should be - please walk outside, take a breath, consider whether you have a sense of right and wrong, and then sit back down to work and do it differently, please

This is a really important read. I hope Valkyries fans will push back against Chase Center and root out any transphobic security members determined to make Ballhalla more dangerous for trans people.

In August, the SF-based anti-trans group "Women Are Real" showed up before a Valkyries game. I stayed outside to witness & question their presence - leading to a strange interaction w/ security. I've been nervous but determined to write about this, and its implications for Valkyries fans:

wnbaroughnotes.substack.com

Lavender Scare, Volume 5: Transphobes in Ballhalla (+ post-FIBA momentum)

Yes, even here. The question is: are Valkyries fans ready for them?
