Former President George W. Bush reportedly surprised fans at a Dallas Wings event after being introduced as the WNBA’s first Honorary Commissioner.
Wearing a custom “Dubya for Three” jersey, Bush joked that after serving in the White House, he had finally found a job where the plays could be “bipartisan.” The announcement quickly attracted attention across sports and political circles.
According to the story, Bush’s ceremonial role would include promoting women’s basketball, participating in league events, and helping draw additional media attention to the WNBA. He even joined Wings players for a lighthearted shooting contest.
The unusual appointment was presented as part of the league’s broader effort to increase visibility and support for women’s sports.
Bush reportedly ended the appearance with several of his trademark jokes before leaving the court, turning what began as an ordinary basketball event into a headline-grabbing moment few fans expected.
