There would be no need for ANYYYYYY of these leagues if the WNBA and NBA played these players what they deserve. Let’s stay focused. #WNBA #Unrivaled #ProjectB #AthletesUnlimited #AUProBasketball

Unrivaled isn’t the problem, neither is Project B. the WNBA is. neither of these leagues would exist if Cathy paid them fairly. take issue with that instead of the way players problem solve around it. toodle-oo!

tbh probably don’t want to think too hard about who is funding most of the international teams players are on in the offseason. these women need better options and a salary from the wnba that isn’t a total joke.

Why don’t y’all have this same energy toward Cathy who is digging her heels in so deep about paying players what they’re worth that they have to turn to “supposed” blood money? Why don’t yall @ her with the same aggressiveness that you interact with those of us that support players getting a bag 1/2

do whatever you want with Emily Engstler but leave Black women ALONE. Statistically, they are the most underpaid demographic in the US & here come white women trying to dictate how Black women support themselves. your racism is showing.

lol but it’s fully ok for you to be the arbiter of how certain people collect a paycheck? please.
November 11, 2025 at 8:55 PM
lmao again- the only people taking this stance are W H I T E.
I am not sure I fully trust a former FB executive backed by a bunch of tech angel investors, but thanks.
November 11, 2025 at 8:51 PM
doesn’t matter if the option was there or not, the intent was to make income to support themselves. now that there’s multiple options, it’s still no one’s business besides the player how they collect their paycheck and better their lives. If you have an issue with that, you’re probably not a fan.
November 11, 2025 at 8:51 PM
No, I don’t have an issue with Black women collecting a bigger paycheck in a league that has openly said they don’t collect any money from Saudi Arabia.

November 11, 2025 at 8:47 PM
Yes if the primary league that they play in doesn’t pay them a fair wage, anything goes when it comes to them collecting a paycheck. I bet you didn’t have an issue with Sue, Diana and others playing in Russia.
November 11, 2025 at 8:46 PM
their race has everything to do with it. you don’t get to talk down to Black women for making a financial choice that benefits them and their family. if you have that big of an issue, you pay her bills and support her family.
November 11, 2025 at 8:45 PM
your issue is with the players are making their money. If Alyssa wants to play in Project B to collect a bigger paycheck than she would playing in Unrivaled, the root of that issue is the WNBA still not paying the players what their worth. Keep the same energy toward Cathy that you have toward AT.

Imagine that. A mother wanting to leave something behind for her kids after giving her all to a league that undervalues its players and demands everything from their bodies. Spare me the self-righteous takes in my comments. Please and thank you 🙏🏾 #WNBA #ProjectB #ISupportThePlayers

Genuinely curious if you have this same energy toward Cathy Engelbert (another white woman)
November 11, 2025 at 8:24 PM
are you gonna pay her bills, Susanne?
November 11, 2025 at 8:23 PM
yes, because you as a white woman have so much space to talk down on Black women and how they make their income 🙄
November 11, 2025 at 8:23 PM
then why say “wtf” like players aren’t allowed to have autonomy over their own employer

Those are sure gonna be some fun conversations in Miami. I wanna see the brawl if AT tries to poach someone in front of Phee
November 11, 2025 at 8:02 PM
well she’s also an owner/investor, so she will likely earn more than the 2mil from Project B.
I’d honestly rather have the $200k and not have to leave the country (as much fun as that sounds)
November 11, 2025 at 8:15 PM
money talks!
Not her too.

And she’ll be a part-owner😑😬 #WNBA
Alyssa Thomas has just announced she will be playing for Project B. Since the two leagues play at the same time of year, this means she will not be playing Unrivaled in 2026.

2mil > 200k
