Could the former First Lady of the United States eventually become the next commissioner of the WNBA?
There have been rumblings throughout this season about WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert stepping away at the end of the year. Well, she confirmed this Friday that she'll be retiring on Dec. 31.
"Over the years, it has been amazing to watch WNBA players thrive and lead the massive cultural surge around women's sports," Engelbert said in a statement. "I retire knowing we have built something bigger, stronger and more enduring than we could have imagined. I am grateful to the WNBA and NBA team owners and staff, players, investors, fans and the powerhouse league office staff, who believed in what this league could become. I retire with immense gratitude and tremendous optimism for the future of the WNBA, with the best yet to come."
According to ESPN, the process to find Engelbert's replacement will begin this month. Although a favorite hasn't emerged, the latest odds from BetOnline are quite interesting.
As of this Friday night, Michelle Obama is the betting favorite to be the next WNBA commissioner at 3/1 odds.

Of course not! Anything that would involve any form of "work" is off the table.
The mooch has never run a business in her life.
Agree....she doesn’t like schedules...
Has she (he?) ever played basketball? Has she ever run a business? Indeed, she doesn’t even believe in the market system.
Oh that’s just PERFECT. π
What could go wrong? π
exactly, Michelle is way too lazy, as well as being set for life financially, to do anything pedestrian like take a job ....
Who?
C’mon man, you know none of that matters.
Black female.....no other qualifications necessary.....haven’t you ever read the dei HR handbook? π
But she has one big qualification in the eyes of the WNBA.
"The first order of business is to get rid of these troublesome white b----es in the WNBA. They are all white supremacists!"
Well if nothing else, she has the shoulders to carry the load. Some say fashionably too. π΅
she’s bringing the hardwood
Itβs a guy!
Just like their $140 million netflix contract, if it happens, its a payoff/bribe
Right. She’s much too shiftless.
Well, that’s one way to get tranny’s in, have one as commissioner.
Is she trans enough for ya?
“if nothing else, she has the shoulders to carry the load.”
A sturdy “woman”.
She’s in the space force currently.
If there’s lots of money for doing nuffin and 11 months of vacation she’s in ,LOL
