Over the last few years, we’ve seen more and more musicians and athletes receive special meals. This week, McDonalds and Angel Reese announced a special meal for the WNBA All-Star coming February 10. It will be called The Angel Reese Special and includes a BBQ Bacon Quarter Pounder with Cheese featuring a new Bold BBQ Sauce, World Famous Fries, and a choice of drink. She will be the first female athlete to receive a special meal. Not only does the immense star power of Angel Reese, but it also shows how much the WNBA and women’s sports in general have expanded over the years. Because many WNBA players play in other leagues during the off-season because of the limited salary in the WNBA, deals such as these may allow for them to have to. These sorts of deals will also assist in expanding the players and league to new audiences.
