DraftKings, the crown is yours.
All right, guys, coming up, there's new information out about the public drama between the WNBA players, the leadership, Kathy Fee and the CBA.
Oh my, we'll get to it.
We'll be right back.
Hey, what's up, y'all?
Welcome back to Good Follow presented by DraftKings.
She's Angel.
I'm Roz.
And guess what?
There's new information that has come out about this increasingly turbulent relationship between Nafisa Collier and WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert in a
new ESPN article by Ramona Shelburne and Kendra Andrews.
It's a very interesting read.
They do have some new, interesting details.
One part of the article that was interesting.
So according to ESPN, players have been asking for data from the WNBA and its leadership, and they haven't been given it.
So it says, according to sources on both sides of the CBA negotiations under the current CBA, players don't get additional revenue sharing.
So it's 9% for the WNBA players, as opposed to about 49 to 51% in the NBA.
And they don't get that additional revenue sharing until the league has generated a certain level of revenue, which it has said it has yet to do after decades of multimillion dollar losses at the franchise and league level.
So naturally, the players want the league to give them the data that proves that that is the case.
And those requests have not been met, Angel.
