The Women’s National Basketball Association has long been the target of internet debates. A claim that the WNBA loses $50 million every year recently spread online, often framed as a reason why players should not demand higher pay.

And she did it not for money or injury or boredom. She did it to fight for justice. She did it for love. A Reddit thread recently exploded with disbelief over the sheer number of championships Moore has racked up. Four WNBA titles. Two Olympic golds. Two NCAA championships.
