Lo’eau LaBonta posted pictures of herself and Michelle Cooper wearing WNBPA “Pay Them What You Owe Them” shirts ahead of the Kansas City Current match this evening.

We love when women collaborate 👏
Stacked photos of Lo’eau LaBonta and Michelle Cooper wearing black shirts with white text “Pay Them What You Owe Them.” There is also a WNBPA logo on each shirt. Text overlay says: “Posting here since all the players who wore this shirt today got cut out of the arrival photos/videos I stand with WNBA players in their fight! #PayThePlayers # WNBPA #ItsBusiness”
