Courtney Williams claims the WNBA takes advantage of players, and Caitlin Clark agrees

As the WNBA approaches the end of its current CBA, negotiations have reached a critical point. With less than three weeks remaining, discussions between the league and the players' union remain unresolved, and frustration among players continues to grow.Minnesota Lynx guard Courtney Williams has emerged as one of the most outspoken voices during this period. Caitlin Clark quietly proves she's back in formAppearing on a StudBudz livestream, the All-Star guard criticized what she described as a financial structure that leaves players behind while the league secures its own stability first."They don't care about nothing. I'm not gonna lie. It's crazy. The league wants to pay themselves first before they pay us," Williams said. "When they pay themselves, it leaves less than 30 percent for us to spread. So they want to pay themselves first, and then whatever is left, they […]

Cathy Engelbert only has one way out to make peace with Caitlin Clark and she knows it

The WNBA world is in turmoil, and to address this topic, we must recall what was reported on September 30, when Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier harshly criticized the WNBA board in an interview, accusing league commissioner Cathy Engelbert of being "negligent" in her management. The leader would have a clear way out to make peace with supreme figures like Caitlin Clark and company.Before diving into the matter, it's important to note that this issue has cast a shadow over the WNBA Finals. The Phoenix Mercury were unable to defeat the Las Vegas Aces and lost Game 2 of the WNBA Finals, 91-78, on October 5 at Michelob Ultra Arena.

Napheesa Collier and Cathy Engelbert’s relationship is far beyond repair as Caitlin Clark has to weigh options

The WNBA should be in an amazing spot right now. The league is arguably as talented as ever, with recent draft classes bringing in high-profile and high-performing players at several positions. Paige Bueckers is the latest, and she follows Caitlin Clark from a year ago. This week, the 2025 WNBA Finals are set to finish with A'ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces looking likely to win it all again.Wilson's Aces should be the main story, but all eyes are on a controversial war that has been brewing for several days now. Napheesa Collier, the superstar for the Minnesota Lynx, has been going toe-to-toe in the media sphere with WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert. Collier has grown tired of what she deems "a lack of accountability" on the part of Engelbert and the league office when it comes to WNBA officiating […]

Tensions rise in the WNBA as Napheesa Collier, Caitlin Clark, and Cathy Engelbert clash over leadership

The WNBA has seen its fair share of disputes, but recent tensions between star forward Napheesa Collier and Commissioner Cathy Engelbert may represent a pivotal moment in the league's evolution. Collier, Vice President of the WNBPA Executive Committee, didn't hold back in her postseason exit interview, accusing Engelbert of tone-deaf leadership and alleging behind-the-scenes comments that have ignited league-wide controversy.Engelbert's alleged "be grateful" remark sparks outrageCollier claimed Engelbert had said Caitlin Clark should be "grateful" for earning millions in endorsements, crediting the WNBA for giving her a platform. If true, the comment would suggest a dismissive view of Clark's individual marketability and a broader lack of appreciation for the athletes driving the league's current success. Engelbert has denied making such a statement, calling Collier's claims inaccurate in a press conference before the WNBA Finals.What followed has only deepened the divide. […]

Cathy Engelbert faces backlash as Caitlin Clark’s Nike deal highlights gender pay disparities

When Dave Portnoyrecently expressed outrage over Caitlin Clark's eight-year, $28 million Nike contract, he wasn't just criticizing a shoe deal. He saw it as emblematic of a deeper structural issue: that the WNBA, and its leadership, is failing to fully capitalize on its brightest stars."This is now," Portnoy said. "You have to take advantage of it now." He warned that "commissioners are always in the middle and commissioners are always going to take the brunt of what the owners don't want to feel." Then he turned his attention to Clark's deal: "She got screwed. If you look back at it ... they're paying Devin Booker, I think, $40 million a year. So in what universe is Devin Booker worth $40 million a year and Caitlin's worth eight? It's insane."For context, Clark signed that agreement with Nike just days after the […]
