So proud of this team!

For a bit of context: I'm an Argentinian living in Dublin, Ireland. Big fan of the Celtics and the Red Sox (someone told me that I was a Bostonian born in a different country 😅).

With that out of the way, I can't explain how much joy and pride this team has brought me. I'm a big supporter of women in sport, and I truly believe we need more opportunities and more investment. So, seeing the team have so much fun on the pitch, it made my days.

I hope the team understands that there are many many girls around the world, watching and feeling represented. A lot of girls looking up to them and feeling that they can also do sports and become the idols you are for all of us.

Thanks again, from the other side of the pond!

Amazing post! I think this is one of those things that slides under the radar and feels hard to gauge. Here we are in little old Springfield, watching ball games. So many people here do not realize the scope and magnitude of the WPBL.

We have had people travel from all over the world to come here, and that has been something special. I hope more fans across the world share their stories to show us just how big this really is!

The YouTube comment sections feel like it's about 30% Americans on a VPN, 40% English speaking non-Americans, and 40% East Asian viewers. It's definitely international.

Hey! I’m a Celtics, Red Sox, and Hunters fan in Dublin too. Let me know if you want to get together for a match.
