The WNBA players have opted out of their current collective bargaining agreement and faced the prospect of a work stoppage if they don't reach a new deal before the end of the season. The move comes as the league recently entered into an historic eleven year media rights deal with Disney, Amazon, Prime, and NBC for two hundred million dollars a year. The players also cited higher television ratings, attendance figures, and franchise values for opting out. Start right there, Start right there. The players are absolutely right. They only get ten percent of basketball related income compared to the fifty percent that the NBA players get. Players citing higher television ratings, attendance figures, franchise values as the reason for opting out. Now, way a damn minute, Way a damn minute. What have I been saying? I said Caitlin Clark Rising tide lifts all boats as much as her presence was maximized by the WNBA. You players could have don You could have done more to assist it. I just spoke about Sue Bird over a week ago. Now, everybody talking about other WNBA players not being appreciated. Nobody insulted them, Nobody dismissed their contributions. We were simply saying, despite the contributions, for years and years and years, a lot of people didn't care fair or not until Caitlin Clark came along. Not only her Angel reached to some degree as well, but Caitlyn Clark more so and her and the combination of anger reesing. It elevated television ratings, it elevated attendance, and it damn sure elevated franchise value. But now something that y'all resisted talking about, opining about acknowledging there, you want to come and say, let's opt out of the CBA because of those very very things. You know what I would say to y'all. Then are you willing to admit how stupid it was for y'all not to go all in in speaking your piece to elevate Caitlin Clark. So therefore, even more attention could have come and y'all could have reaped the benefits. Now you're gonna do it anyway, and I get that, but you see my point. Higher television ratings, higher attendance figures, ladies and gentlemen, that doesn't come courtesy.

Of a league.

It comes courtesy of the players that play in the league, and in her case, she was the most popular, which means she could have helped your bottom line, which means you should have seen that from day one and maximized it. But you didn't do it. You didn't want to. Rather, you a bit hesitant and reluctant and resistant to it so much so you didn't push far to be on Team USA so much so you had people like Chows Swoots who didn't even want to mention her name. That didn't hurt that much, but if you want the opposite direction, it could have helped that much and facilitated you being in an even stronger position to get yours. But you didn't do it. You didn't do it. Wow, I mean, I just I have to acknowledge y'all make me feel brilliant. Sometimes I really don't look at myself that way. I'm just a hard worker. I work, I put my head down, I get on my grind, I try to do the best I cant. But y'all make me feel brilliant because I say what I believe to be the most obvious things obvious.
