The Aces won the WNBA championship for the third time<\/a> in four seasons on Friday night with a 97-86 win over the Mercury. With the Game 4 win Las Vegas completed a sweep in the league’s first seven-game series in history to earn their latest title.<\/p>\n

After they wrapped up the game they celebrated on the court at Mortgage Matchup Center while many fans remained in the stands to cheer for the players and maybe also boo WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert when she appeared on the floor to present the Aces with their trophy.<\/p>\n

WNBA Finals MVP A’ja Wilson<\/a> was shown on ESPN in the background having an amusing reaction as the boos reigned down on the embattled commissioner. <\/p>\n

Booing a professional sports commissioner isn’t unusual, but the way things have gone for Engelbert the last few weeks<\/a>, they sure feel louder. <\/p>\n

Loud, extended boos from the crowd when WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert takes the mic to hand the trophy to Mark Davis. I’m not sure I’ve ever heard boos for a commish that went on for that long before.<\/p>\n
