Our reading
The WNBA moved a Finals game to noon so an NBA team could play at the same arena, which is a scheduling decision so basic it makes you wonder if the league’s calendar was written by a toddler with a crayon.
Ticket prices for the noon game are as low as $23, which is just enough to buy a coffee and a bagel, but not enough to justify skipping work for a basketball game.
Now, the only thing that’s really going up is the number of people who have to explain to their boss why they’re not at the office at 12:30 p.m.
