The future of WNBA players at risk Angel Reese clear message
Angel Reese and Dijonai Carrington, two of the league’s standout players, have been vocal about the need for significant improvements in salary and working conditions.
According to both players, the athletes are ready to take drastic measures if the negotiations don’t move in the right direction. “If we don’t get what we want, we sit out,” Reese warned, making it clear that a strike is not just a possibility but a genuine threat.
The CBA negotiations are critical, especially following an unprecedented period of growth for the league. The addition of players like Caitlin Clark has significantly boosted game ratings, making the need for change even more urgent.
With the league’s increasing visibility, players are looking to reflect that growth in their salaries and benefits.
Pressure mounts on the WNBA
The contrast between on-court success and low salaries continues to be a constant topic of discussion in the league.
Players like Angel Reese have made it clear that despite being some of the most influential figures in women’s basketball, their salaries do not reflect what they deserve.
Reese, who has previously stated that her WNBA salary barely covers her bills, is a prime example of the economic disparity in the league.
