Hey @wnba.com: pay them what you owe them!

We’re proud of our unions’ solidarity with the WNBPA as they fight for their fair share and a strong new contract ✊

The US’s biggest pro women’s sports unions have found strength together

For NWSL and WNBA players’ unions, collective actions have been key to their successes in wholly different sports

To honor their Star of the Month, they surprised Bea Franklin with her very own star! 💫

one that I've noticed is that the A'ja Wilson experience is so much more fun because WNBA fans/media don't prop up current greats by tearing down the past. we're not doing Maya Moore vs. A'ja Wilson on First Take every morning. as a longtime NBA fan, that's refreshing

A’ja Wilson said:

A’ja Wilson’s 2025 Pride cake reads “let’s get one thing straight yall aren’t”

The cake is piped with rainbow rosettes and super gay decorations around the edge: two pairs of scissors, frooties candies, two black cats with intertwined tails, and a limp-wristed SpongeBob

A’ja Wilson’s 2024 Pride cake is pink with rainbow ribbon designs on the corners. It reads “hooray you gay” and features two pairs of glittery scissors, and tiny disco balls

My cold take on the #NWSL playoffs and the congested table is that we're probably talking about jockeying for seeding (avoid 8th!) rather than who's in/out, BUT there are teams really just backing their way in. To the touchscreen!

A'ja Wilson is doing quintessential GOAT shit. tastes how close victory is and she's not letting up -- she's pushing the gas pedal even harder

Holly Rowe calling B’am A’ja’s “mentor” when they are working out together to help them each improve their games, & B’am himself has even said A’ja is better than him??? He’s her boyfriend & training partner, not her mentor??
