The WNBA's best players made a powerful statement before Saturday night's All-Star game when they put together a show of solidarity by wearing pregame warm-up shirts with one simple demand to the league: "Pay us what you owe us."
The message comes amid the players' union's ongoing collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations with the WNBA, with their current CBA set to expire at the end of the season. Many on social media have shared mixed reactions to the blunt message, as some seem confused as to how the players could be demanding more money when the WNBA is still unprofitable in 2025.
