My fiancé is a HUGE Hello Kitty fan. That's been her thing since we first became friends in middle school 20 years ago. We love to go to Hello Kitty giveaway games, particularly for the Giants.

And the Giants have absolutely bungled it year after year. Great offerings, but while teams like the Dodgers and Padres offer everyone in the stadium a giveaway, the Giants keep it extremely limited, forcing long lines and disappointment.

The overwhelming demand should come of no surprise to anyone.

I wish the Valkyries offered one to everyone in the stadium and didn't mark up prices for this special event. The organization has been so good to fans, but it's always a sobering reminder to see the business side of things. Still, I wish they did this differently. Offering 10k on a Monday feels like a recipe for disappointment.

As an aside, it's also heartbreaking to see how many people immediately run to ebay or Facebook Marketplace to flip the plushie (and all merch) at a ridiculous cost.

The Valkyries fan community is so unlike others. Anyone who has stepped foot inside Ballhalla can tell.

It's a shame for scalpers to soil an otherwise great environment and collaboration. I don't know what you can do about this, but I hope people feel shame. Depriving real fans -- of both GSV and Sanrio -- the opportunity to attend this only because you want to make a quick buck.

Shame, shame, shame.

Some of you may have seen WNBAArt's work on Instagram. She's opened an online shop with a number of Valkyries cartoon stickers, as well as a mug and T-shirt with Gabby's "For the gays!" I have no financial interest whatsoever in her shop, but wanted to advise this sub because I really dig her work.

From the Aces/Mystics game today…

In honor of Janelle competing in the 3 point competition I made an animation of some of her contested 3s from this season. She is so smooth!!!

Does anyone know if Rikki's in SF will be playing the All-Star game this Saturday on their screens? Or does anybody know of any other watch parties, preferably in Oakland?

MIXT x Valkyries water bottle available at all Bay Area MIXT locations 👀 who's getting one?

I called them and they just got the jersey in store and are pressing the name and number onto the jerseys as we speak. So if you’re like me and hoping to go to chicago with her jersey, it’s possible!!!
