Chelsea Gray on Cathy Engelbert getting boos/CBA cont'd

"When you have a league of people like that, it needs to be treated as such. Payment, treatment, revenue share…Players like that at the forefront of change you have to pay them like that because there’s no league w/o the players."

Alyssa Thomas on officiating
