ESPN literally had to blur the screen when Cathy was giving the championship trophy because a ton of fans were flipping Cathy off in addition to the boos.

Cathy can’t be heard above the boos in the arena, both when she gives Aces the trophy and A’ja her MVP award

According to multiple sources, the WNBA's latest CBA proposal includes a supermax closer to $850,000 & a vet min hovering around $300,000 in year 1

The two sides remain at odds w. Engelbert's frayed relationships extending to team presidents and owners.

- A two way arms embargo
