Sacramento Monarchs folds

Another sad day for us WNBA fans. The Maloof brothers are folding tent in Sacramento. I never saw this coming. I thought this team would be around forever. Just like I thought the Houston Comets would be around forever.

We as WNBA fans have to enjoy every moment of every WNBA season because we never know if it will be the last.

I'm not sure why it cost so much to run a WNBA team. They only play in the summer. The women are not making that much money. Donna needs to figure out a way the owners can survive and stay in business.  I love Donna but maybe we should start lobbying for a new WNBA President.

Here are a few replacement that come to mine.

Ann Meyers is a retired American basketball player and sportscaster. She is a distinguished figure in the history of women's basketball and sports journalism. A standout player in high school, college, the Olympic Games, international tournaments, and the professional levels, she is one of the most talented women to ever have played the game.

Meyers was the first player to be part of the U.S. national team while still in high school. She was the first woman to be signed to a four-year athletic scholarship for college, at UCLA. She was also the only woman to sign a contract with a National Basketball Association team, the Indiana Pacers (1979).

Sheila Johnson is the team president, managing partner, and governor of the WNBA's Washington Mystics, a position she gained before the 2005 season. On May 24, 2005, Washington Sports and Entertainment Chairman, Abe Pollin, sold the Mystics to Lincoln Holdings LLC, where Johnson served as president. She is the first African-American woman to be an owner or partner in three professional sports franchises: the Washington Capitals (NHL), the Washington Wizards (NBA), and the Washington Mystics (WNBA). Johnson currently serves as CEO of Salamander Hospitality, a company she founded in 2005. Salamander's portfolio includes: The Woodlands Resort & Inn, in Summerville, SC; The Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club, a 900 acre, 72 hole PGA tour golf course in Palm Harbor, FL; and The Salamander Resort & Spa in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Middleburg, VA. (opening date: Spring 2010).

Nancy Lieberman nicknamed Lady Magic, is a former professional basketball player who played and coached in the WNBA. Lieberman is regarded as one of the greatest figures in women's basketball. In 2000, she was inducted into the Nassau County Sports Hall of Fame. Lieberman is a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame and the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame.

Just to name a few.

The best time in my life was watching the Houston Comets win four WNBA championships. I had so much fun! Cynthia Cooper raising the roof. Tina Thompson giving Lisa Leslie the salute. Sherly Swoopes flashing to the basket like the speed of lightning. I will never forget the lovely Kim Perrot. Which I had the pleasure of meeting. She will always be remembered in my heart.

I know exactly how the fans of Detroit and Sacramento feels. Sad and angry all at the same time.

I want to know and I am sure other WNBA fans as well. How can we make sure the WNBA will be around for the next 50 years? Can someone please answer this question!
