From the article: ...the players competing in the annual event wear black t-shirts beforehand that read: "Pay Us What You Owe Us."

Owe?

The league loses money. The players would have to be volunteers.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

If they didn’t eject fans from the game for making fun of a player when her wig was snatched off of her head, they may have more money to pay players.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

“While the league boasts the talents of A’ja Wilson, Breanna Stewart and Napheesa Collier to name just a few, none of them have reached the levels of popularity Clark has.”

Because her name is easier to pronounce.
Name recognition.

Something’s not jiving: players’ salaries account for just 9% of costs for the league. Someone needs to audit those books.

If they paid you what you’re worth, you’d be paying them.

Aside from the issue at hand, I have to wonder if Hillary Clinton could actually pick a basketball out of a lineup of 5 different sports balls.

[1Old Pro]

First Clark’s meteoric popularity rise, now Sydney Sweeney ads going viral - things are spiraling out of control.

[Texas Eagle]

If you want to be paid what you’re worth, play in the NBA.

[cgbg]

The players should pay the league to play.

The league will still lose money.

Other than their current promotions for green dildos, what advertisers could they bring in? Trucker hats? Same-sex Divorce Lawyers? Bud Light?

[TexasGator]

“”Pay Us What You Owe Us.””

Take away the NBA support and you would be playing in Latvia!

Other than their current promotions for green dildos, what advertisers could they bring in?

Does Dunk'n still make Munchkins?

[Mastador1]

C’mon man! Hitlary just likes athletic women, like a lot😂🤣

[HIDEK6]

Jibing.

[FLNittany]

Give them two choices - 1) Take what they for some reason got signed for, or 2) Divide up the gate receipts and actual tv revenue w/out any NBA money and take that. I think they’d take for former.

[Gay State Conservative]

Does anyone care about the WNBA other than lesbians?

[RWGinger]

In the article it calls Clark a sophomore??

[packrat35]

Sophomore year (her 2nd year in the WNBA).

Sophie Cunningham and her Hot Girls Eat Arbys made her a WNBA sensation. Another blue eyed blonde.
