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.

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

The players should pay the league to play.

The league will still lose money.

The league does not pay the players. Individual teams negotiate salaries and pay them. Pay issues would only apply to league minimums which may be more prevalent in the WNBA than other sports. I have not followed this so I don’t know the specifics.
