Angel Reese hints at possible strike by WNBA players: 'If y'all don't give us what we want, we sitting out'



quote:

Players are expected to push for an 'equity-based' economic model based on the league’s business measurements, minimum facility and travel standards, expanded retirement benefits and increased family support.

Since its inception in 1997, the NBA has subsidized the league to the tune of a half-billion dollars, but the WNBA has lost money every single year of its existence — including losses in excess of $40 million this season.

I really want to say that there is no possible way in frick that she's actually holding that sign.....but she's stupid and selfish enough to do it.

This isn't the first time Reese has bemoaned WNBA salaries. Last year Reese said her $73,439 salary isn't enough to cover her cost of living.

"I just hope y'all know," Reed said. "The WNBA don't pay my bills at all. I don't even think it pays one of my bills. Literally."

I see very little chance she doesnt come out smelling like a hero after all of this. The woke will get her paid.

Feel like this is old. Not a fan of hers, but hate the clickbait crap. Headline doesn’t match the story. Only quote is saying she wants in the room because she hears other players saying that they won’t play.

Is that "We're not here for your entertainment" photo real? Surely it is photoshopped.

One might concede that the WNBA is not particularly entertaining, but if not entertainment what purpose, function or service does the league provide?

Welcome to 15 days ago. The chokehold Angel has on some people is truly amazing.

A new concept: players bargaining for increased pay and benefits with a professional sports league. Never seen that one.

Fun fact:

If a players' strike or owners' lockout resulted in the cancelation of a WNBA season, it would cause the most profitable season in WNBA history.

Bill Burr, comedian on this stuff. Hilarious, but NSFW.

I have two feelings on this

1) Hope they do it. The league will make more money not playing which is hilarious.

2) I hope the NBA caves and gives them a bunch more shite. That woke group of pussies deserves it

Guarantee when they don’t get paid (because they make frick all in revenue) that they claim racism/sexism
