The WNBA All-Star Game last weekend in Indianapolis was a celebration for the best players in the game over the first half of the season. And it also became an important moment for the players moving forward in the league for years to come as both teams made a statement about what they want in the ongoing CBA negotiations with the WNBA.
Players wore "Pay us what you owe us" shirts during pregame warmups, making it clear they are looking for higher salaries and a bigger cut of league revenue. That makes sense since the league signed a massive new TV deal last month that is worth over $2 billion and are in the process of adding expansion teams over the next few years. Business is booming and the players want to be paid more for their work.
