Скачать или смотреть ‘A Slap in the Face’: Why WNBA Players Might Be Ready to Strike | Quita in the Morning

The WNBA is having a moment — record crowds, record ratings, and the biggest stars women’s basketball has ever seen. But behind the scenes, a battle is brewing that could change the future of women’s sports forever.

Right now, the league and its players are locked in tense negotiations over a new collective bargaining agreement — the deal that governs salaries, working conditions, revenue sharing, travel, and more. Players are calling the league’s opening offer “a slap in the face” and demanding a fairer share of the billions the league is generating.

In this video, we break it all down:
🏀 Why the WNBA’s growth has outpaced its pay structure
🏀 What players are demanding — and why it matters
🏀 The history of WNBA CBA fights — and what’s different this time
🏀 The stakes of a possible strike or lockout
🏀 Why this isn’t just about basketball — but about respect, power, and the future of professional women’s sports

Who really runs the WNBA — the players who built it, or the owners who fund it? And will this defining moment finally deliver the respect and revenue players have earned?

Drop your thoughts in the comments — would you support a player strike if it comes to that?
