"Over the course of the Los Angeles Sparks' last season, Cat Disabato found herself at six of their basketball games, a figure she tells Bustle is "less than I'd like, more than I ever expected." Raised outside of Chicago, Disabato grew up a devoted White Sox fan, and after moving to Los Angeles in 2008, became a "very casual" Dodgers supporter."
"an ever-hungry sports journalist, being pulled off the beat she's spent her career chasing - the Los Angeles Cougars, a fictional National Football League team - and reassigned to the WNBA All-Star Weekend, a decision she suspects has more to do with her queer identity than her resume. As she fumbles her way through the W's history and stats, she finds herself in a tense press room standoff with the Los Angeles Sparks' captivating but aloof star, Natalie Czapski."
