Bill Simmons calls out WNBA’s ‘dumbest leadership season’ after Valkyries-Dream Game 6 announcement

Media personality Bill Simmons has criticized the WNBA for its scheduling decisions regarding the Finals series between the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream. The league announced that Game 6 will be held on a Thursday afternoon in Atlanta to avoid a conflict with an Atlanta Hawks game at the same arena.

This scheduling choice follows a previous afternoon game for the series, which Simmons described as a poor management decision. The series is currently tied at 2-2 heading into Monday night's Game 5 at the Chase Center.

While the league considered using the smaller Gateway Center, they opted for the larger venue despite the inconvenient start time.
