Love it or hate it, there are a lot of eyeballs on the WNBA these days, and where there are eyeballs, you can be sure Hillary Clinton and her armada of pantsuits are going to show up at some point.
That point was on Monday, with the former first lady, secretary of state, senator and 2016 presidential election loser showing up to watch the New York Liberty take on the Seattle Storm.

She looked like she was having the time of her life.
