Why they might be annoying
Like their male counterparts, they have a history of big market underachieving.
Though Rebecca Lobo was supposed to be the face of their franchise, she was injury prone and didn't play too long for them.
They lost to the Los Angeles Sparks in the first ever WNBA game.
They lost in their first four WNBA Finals appearances (*cough* Buffalo Bills *cough).
Why they might not be annoying
Their logo is the Statue of Liberty.
Unlike most WNBA teams, they have a female mascot (Maddie the Dog).
In the WNBA's first decade, they won four conference titles.
Teresa Witherspoon hit a game-winning half-court shot to extend their WNBA Finals series against the Houston Comets (1999).
Due to a New York City blackout, they had to play three games in three days (2003).
They played several games at Radio City Music Hall during the Republican National Convention at Madison Square Garden (2004).
