I am going to be honest. I do not want A’ja diving on the floor for the ball. 🤷🏾‍♀️#WNBA

Exactly!!! #WNBA

Scoop: Napheesa Collier says "lack of accountability" led her to cancel on WNBA chief

"For her to start her speech saying she has the utmost respect for me ... and then to turn around and call me a liar..." Collier told Axios.

Because the #WNBA is doing this well thanks to the players, the W can afford to pay them fairly.

So Phee told people about Cathy’s comments within days of Cathy making them. #WNBA

So Cathy was not renominated for a second term as CEO of Deloitte. Interesting. #WNBA

It feels like A’ja should have 50 rebounds. #WNBA

I could not watch Game 1 of the #WNBA finals in real time because I was at a birthday dinner, but people kept texting me about my fav, Dana Evans. My blood pressure would have been too elevated if I was watching in real time. What a stat line.

#NBA players made more 50 years ago than #WNBA players make today. The kicker is: The WNBA is paying its players less while the players are bringing in MORE money than the NBA players were bringing in 50 years ago.

The #WNBA players, of course, deserve/have earned a much higher percentage of revenue. #PayThePlayers

Wrote this for the New York Times today (hope this link works!)

W.N.B.A. is doing immensely well! Time to pay the players!!

Thanks to Sara Chodosh for asking me to write this (helping with the writing) and making the cool graphics!!

Opinion | The W.N.B.A. Is Making More Money Than Ever. Why Aren’t the Players? (Gift Article)

Other professional sports leagues give their players roughly 50 percent of the revenue, but the W.N.B.A. players get less than 10 percent.

The Sky definitely to use qualified people, whether interns, independent contractors, staff. Their emails, graphics, etc. look so unprofessional as compared to other teams.

Lorene @lorene9.bsky.social · 7d

Chicago Sky with a super convincing pitch to drop thousands of dollars on a season ticket. This graphic is the entire email. Most of the staff is interns, but they do need to invest in some marketing people. For what their tickets cost, they need to do better than this. PS Alter needs to sell.

Graphic scene become a sky rider member.

I hope the players have steel in their spines and do whatever is necessary to ensure they are paid and protected. Fans come and tune in to see the players, not the owners. (Although I would pay for one game of the owners playing so we could laugh at them.) #WNBA

My latest feature @theathletic.com

I went long about the possibility of a WNBA work stoppage, and its would-be impact

On what lessons the W and WNBPA can learn from other sports’ past CBA talks (cc: NHL, MLB esp.), and potential scenarios in these W talks:
