Angel Reese calls out the WNBA after LSU star gets bigger salary than her

"The WNBA don't pay my bills at all," said Angel Reese during an Instagram Live earlier this year. Some called her ungrateful, others applauded her honesty. But either way, she wasn't wrong.

Do the math: her WNBA paycheck doesn't even cover her housing.Reese's comment wasn't just a hot take-it was a reflection of a larger conversation that's been building in women's basketball. After a record-breaking 2024 WNBA season, players decided it was time to renegotiate. The WNBPA opted out of the league's current collective bargaining agreement, setting the stage for a fight over pay, benefits, and the future of the game.Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark AI childhood videos trace their epic riseWNBA veteran and union VP […]
