Here’s the response from the #WNBPA…

“Player health isn’t optional!! Our athletes deserve real, long-term medical care, not temporary fixes. We stand with our players and will keep pushing for benefits that reflect their value and sacrifice.”

#WNBA #PayThemWhatYouOweThem
Screenshot of an Instagram Story from the WNBPA. At the top, purple text reads: “Player health isn’t optional!! Our athletes deserve real, long-term medical care, not temporary fixes. We stand with our players and will keep pushing for benefits that reflect their value and sacrifice.” Below are two side-by-side graphics. The top graphic shows New York Knicks player Guerschon Yabusele dribbling a basketball with a quote that reads: “If you play three years in the NBA, you get a lifetime pension. After four seasons, medical expenses are covered for life.” The bottom graphic shows Washington Mystics player Shakira Austin in uniform with a quote that reads: “Must be nice, over here they telling vets to pay for a flight to All-Star Weekend to get checked by a doc in a pop up tent.” The post is credited to Just Women’s Sports.

Shakira Austin didn’t mince words when comparing NBA to WNBA benefits. The gap in care, support, and basic respect is glaring. This isn’t just disappointing, it’s embarrassing. These players deserve better 😔

A split graphic comparing NBA and WNBA medical care. Top half shows NBA player Guerschon Yabusele in a New York Knicks uniform dribbling a basketball during a game, alongside a quote that reads: “If you play three years in the NBA, you get a lifetime pension. After four seasons, medical expenses are covered for life.” Bottom half shows WNBA player Shakira Austin in a Washington Mystics uniform on the court, with a quote that reads: “Must be nice, over here they telling vets to pay for a flight to All-Star Weekend to get checked by a doc in a pop up tent.” The graphic emphasizes the disparity between NBA and WNBA benefits.

OF COURSE they want women to believe improving their own work conditions will create structural deficits that are unforgiving & absolute

its all a game to exploit labor

the numbers are preposterous & all a lie indeed..

Do you ever see a post and know you should skip the comments, but look anyway? The ignorant, sexist takes on a page dedicated to women’s sports are mind-boggling.

Women advocating for fair pay and working conditions are still met with mockery. Infuriating 😡

Screenshot of a Facebook post from Just Women’s Sports with a breaking news graphic reading, “WNBA Players Association authorized to call a strike ‘when necessary.’” Below are early comments, including dismissive remarks questioning the league’s relevance and joking about a lack of audience or leverage. Screenshot of Facebook comments responding to the WNBA strike news. Several comments mock the idea of a strike, compare WNBA players to non-athletes, or suggest few fans would be affected. One commenter points out that the men in the comments “don’t pass the vibe check.” Screenshot of additional Facebook comments reacting to the WNBA Players Association strike authorization. Comments include jokes about low viewership, claims that owners would save money if players strike, and remarks minimizing the impact of a work stoppage. Screenshot of more Facebook comments under the Just Women’s Sports post. Several commenters make sarcastic jokes, suggest a strike would draw more attention than the games themselves, or trivialize women’s basketball by comparing it to unrelated entertainment.

The WNBA's revenue is far greater than the owners are letting on which is why they refuse to share their financial data publicly.

Greedy owners don't want to miss out on maximizing their personal wealth during this growth phase but it's the players driving it.

It's theft.

The league has implied it’s not yet big enough for the kind of revenue sharing players want. But history shows revenue sharing is a question of power, not prosperity.
Battle to define revenue sharing in the WNBA continues

WNBA Players Deserve a Higher Salary and Better Working Conditions
Last October, WNBA players opted out of their 2020 collective bargaining agreement to demand higher salaries, a more mature revenue share system, better working conditions and improved player benefits...

Loved this! All the #wnba fans I know want the players paid fairly. Folks I know who aren't sports fans agree.

We're in a moment when oligarchs/billionaires/plutocrats/kleptocrats are doing whatever they can to pay no one but themselves. It ain't right.

NEW: I spoke to fans & labor organizers about how WNBA fan solidarity could be a key part of the CBA negotiations—& why women's sports fans are uniquely positioned to support a work stoppage, should one be on the table.
fan solidarity could be the wnba players' secret weapon
fandom works differently in women's sports than it does in men's—and it skews much more pro-player than pro-owner.

Collier says if WNBA players back down in CBA talks it would hurt women’s sports
Revenue sharing is where the rubber hits the road in for the two sides as the deal expires on Friday, Oct. 31. The WNBPA says it won't compromise.

I get that people want to make Cathy Engelbert the scapegoat, but let’s be real, Adam Silver is the one calling the shots. He’s still resisting fair pay for the players and pushing a fixed pay structure instead. He can’t be trusted on this. #PayThemWhatYouOweThem #WNBPA #WNBA

For the WNBPA and the NWSLPA, solidarity is an ethos as well as a strategy. I spoke with leaders from both unions to learn more about the organizations' strong relationship:
The US’s biggest pro women’s sports unions have found strength together
For NWSL and WNBA players’ unions, collective actions have been key to their successes in wholly different sports

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.

Real bummer getting really into the WNBA about 3 weeks before what looks like an impending lockout.

That’s what happens when the only language your commish speaks is consulting ig
