Any comment denoting women should “be on their knees” for anything is just bad form.

Those players should take their endorsements and move to Europe. Let’s see how the WNBA feels about that.

They are never going to garner NBA salaries, but these women are way underpaid.

And what would the commissioner be doing without the league?
Running Exxon?

CC would make significantly more in her actual playing salary in the Euro FIBA league. Endorsements is hard to gauge, but it could be even more as she would be an even more dominate player as the top Euro leagues are a bit less competitive than the WNBA.

That's why the vast majority of her income comes from sources other than WNBA?

She could have and still probably could make 50 times or so her WNBA salary by joining the Big 3 basketball league.

She’s not wrong actually. If they weren’t playing in the WNBA, they would NOT be getting those big dollar endorsements.

Now the players are foolish to think the league can pay them more money when the league has lost money every single year of its existence.

Both things can be right at the same time.

These women tell us more about the state of modern women than anything else in society.

WNBA too stupid to know how to promote the league. Letting your top star get unfairly bludgeoned ...is STUPID.
Clark could go to Europe AND take endorsements with her. Most companies doing endorsements are international anyway.
She might do worse, but she has enough money stockpiled that with a good investment counselor she is set.

In the past...bball teams would barnstorm the country and take on all comers ..CC could start a league like that...fun game...CC team vs Harlem Globetrotters..or CC team vs. lady college senior all star team in 3 game series..have fun instead of this “we bad” nonsense...

Anything said by the WNBA is the 180 reverse of the truth.

...in her exit interview, which is part of the year-end responsibilities for the Lynx.

Am I missing something? What entity has an exit interview as part the individual's responsibility?

"Hey, Napheesa, why are you leaving the Lynx?"
~"No comment."

The same entity that had you sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement is also expecting you to answer questions. Um, no. Just no.

She could probably have made more in Japan as a player and in those strange Japanese commercials.

Why is this stupid woman fighting with the only person who attracts fans to the WNBA?

If she wanted a different platform, should could be on a Euro team, and could likely be a member of the Harlem Globetrotters if the “girl” spot isn’t taken.

Caitlin Clark should go to Europe for a year and let the WNBA flounder.

The WNBA seems to always snatch defeat from the jaws of victory ... what a bunch of looser management.

I can't hear "WNBA" without thinking of what best symbolizes their game - green rubber dildos. The players should threaten to strike until the people who pay their salaries (that'd be the NBA players) double their salaries, and not play a single game until that happens. And wait until we beg them to come back.

And wait.
