Owe?
The league loses money. The players would have to be volunteers.
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.
“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.
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.
First Clark’s meteoric popularity rise, now Sydney Sweeney ads going viral - things are spiraling out of control.
If you want to be paid what you’re worth, play in the NBA.
“”Pay Us What You Owe Us.””
Take away the NBA support and you would be playing in Latvia!
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.
Does anyone care about the WNBA other than lesbians?
What I’ve seen is that the WNBA finally has someone who can actually shoot the basketball. The fact that the person is white IS the problem.
From ganging up on the only player that actually puts fans in the seats, to running off the court when their wigs fall off, to throwing out fans who laugh at it, the WNBA is rapidly becoming a joke.
the “you” is the NBA
the wnba aint got no money
All these bleeding hearts that think they should be paid more should do their part and pay for season tickets in person and buy the season pass for cable or online. Until then, shut your pie holes. The “W” is a money drain.
“Engelbert believes it has to be built up by a competitive product, and not one that is coalesces around a single player like Clark”
That helps but the NBA became popular due to the Magic-Bird rivalry.

They need a commissioner who is not stupid and delusional. Every big thing is built from the first building block. Get the rest of the players off of Clark, clean up the fouls, and get rid of the tranny.
OH, and get a new commissioner.
WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert. Cathy, if you ain’t smart enough to know that Caitlin Clark IS your league, then I figure two things are going to happen: One, your league is going to go bankrupt and two, you won’t have a job.

They will get paid with endorsements if they are worth it to a company
