So, Angel, you're a player.

You've been a player for a long time in the WNBA.

How does this lack of transparency from the WNBA, as reported in the ESPN article, add to distrust?

Yeah, Angel, to your point, I think.

What players are seeing is that team valuations are going up.

Ratings are up.

Brand deals are up.

Money is being poured into the league, but they're waiting for it to be trickled down to them.

And from what we've gathered is, look, the league is willing to say, yes, we will raise your salaries, but they're not willing to give a bigger slice of the business anymore.

And so remember, these players are in a labor dispute, not only trying to make a difference for their salaries and well-being, but they're literally kind of laying the pathwork for future generations of WNBA players.

So there's a lot at stake right now.

And with so much at stake, I do want to take us back.

Back to revisiting Kathy Engelbert's press conference at the start of the WNBA finals.

This was huge.

We haven't had the chance to really address it on our show yet.

Key takeaways for me of Kathy Engelbert's comments.

So I thought she was strong on officiating.

She seemed to understand that there was a need for addressing the issues with officiating.

She described a plan.

She mentioned committees.
