The WNBA All-Star Game is tonight and players came out for their pregame warmups in black t-shirts that said "Pay Us What You Owe Us." The message comes amid an ongoing battle between the WNBA and the players' union. Talks over a new collective bargaining agreement have reportedly stalled and some of the players have been openly critical of the WNBA's unwillingness to budge on certain issues...

This is the problem with helping people. The nba tried to help women with a league of their own and now it’s bad PR and a liability.
It’s like the guy I gave a free place to live for 3 months because I wanted to do the right thing and then ended up having to take him to court to evict him after that agreed upon 3 months instead of doing the honorable thing.
Anymore, people only care about 1 thing, themselves. No has honor or morals.

You are an entertainment industry. You get what you earn. You’re not ‘owed’ anything

Tell them that is fine.
The NBA will give them freedom to negotiate their own tv contracts and lease agreements and the subsidy faucet is officially closed the WNBA is a stand alone league. When they close up shop in 3 seasons they can go work at foot locker and get "Paid what they are owed"

$200,000,000 in league wide revenue. That's league wide. Believe they should make 7 figure salaries and get revenue share. For perspective, the SEC generated $840,000,000 in 2024. Math is very hard for WNBA players

Who is that directed to? The owners of their teams that pay them what they owe them, as per their contracts, or their welfare system, the NBA ? Exactly who owes them more than they agreed to take?

Don’t the realize in almost 30 years of business, the WNBA has NEVER turned a profit? How do you even have this mentality?

Get rid of that trash league. Make them play with a regulation ball for men and put their sorry asses against a state champion level 6A high school and watch them get their asses handed to them. We are talking about these “all stars”. These dumbasses are being supplemented and are a losing proposition.

If my company was losing money hand over fist I wouldn’t be demanding a pay raise. None of these WNBA teams make a cent. Really tone deaf bunch.

Funny they stayed clear of..."Pay us what we deserve". If anyone is "owed" paymt it's the NBA some kind of ROI, but they ain't going to do that.

Based on the shirt they chose and their P&L nobody is getting paid! They lose money every year! That’s ridiculous and shows the entitlement by people who never made a profit & are subsidized by the NBA!
