Welcome back to Good Follow. Big thank you to soccer legend Kelly O'Hara for joining us and joining Logan for that great NWSL preview. Now let's transition because this segment is presented by DraftKings. Unrivaled playoffs are beginning on Sunday, and I've got my eyes on that two versus three seed matchup between the Rose and the Laces.

On the Rose, if you're looking for someone to pack the stat sheet, it's Angel Reese, who's leading Unrivaled in rebounding. Naturally, we expected her to crush the glass, but she's improved so much on the offensive end, finishing, getting in deep, and scoring the rock. She's on constant double-double watch. For the Laces, a player who can also fill the stat sheet is Alyssa Thomas.

Now, she may not always be your leading scorer, but she's on constant triple-double watch as a player who rebounds, creates for others with assists. She can get you a bucket or a block, and she's definitely the tone setter for the toughness and physicality of the Laces.

I have the Rose winning and advancing to the finals, and perhaps we might see them against the overall number one seed, Lunar Owls, if they advance over Team Vinyl. Either way, I have a feeling that these unrivaled playoffs are going to finish with a bang. This segment is presented by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. We love doing that. I love it.

big sigh once again that's not what she said and also look at this tweet it's from centelle look at the e at the end centelle is a troll meme site man but the problem is people are going to go and run with that uh because it's angel reese like they want to see something that's inflammatory and she never said that exactly

Well, you know, this is all part of CBA negotiations and it's right on time. I believe the WNBA players provided a proof of concept last season and now and unrivaled again. And with athletes unlimited attention, ratings, attendance, it's all upped. And the product is great. There's a new crop of identifiable young stars, new rivalries, storylines that people are following.

The players are captivating. And there's an appetite for investment. You know, we're seeing new WNBA teams. We're seeing alternative leagues. like Athletes Unlimited, like Unrivaled, who are having banner seasons. There's an influx of cash coming from the new TV rights deal. Brand deals are flowing.

And there's just like investors with cash fist in hand, you know, trying to find ways to invest in women's basketball now. So I think...

when we discuss the conversation in a reasonable, right-minded way, it's important to note that WNBA players are looking to renegotiate the revenue split and that they aren't asking for NBA salaries, but they are looking to the NBA's model where in their revenue split, it's about 50-50. And perhaps in like years past, Logan, WNBA team owners are,

may have been carrying the burden of the load, but now I think that scale has slid, and the players are pushing a lot of the momentum that we're seeing. They're behind a lot of that. They're driving it, and they want to make sure that they, like... have an opportunity to not be left out of the momentum and the monetization of that, of the energy that they're creating.

So I think right now is a great time for them to be discussing like revenue split and equity in the league. And they have every right to.
