This is a good read albeit a terrible site for mobile.
I really hope these women get everything they’re asking for. There is nothing egregious in their demands, just completely reasonable asks.
When Caitlin Clark joined the league, the WNBA struck gold. All they need to do is not fuck it up and they will enjoy expansion and success. The counter offers have no substance other than greed, and the comments made by the commissioner are disgusting. This is the best and maybe only opportunity that these players will have at forcing significant change in the league, and based on the cited number that about 80% of the players set their contracts to end now so they can fight together, they have a real chance at success.
Best of lucky, ladies.
