	"description": "We, the undersigned fans, allies, and supporters of the WNBA, stand in full solidarity with the Women’s National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) during negotiations for a new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). As loyal supporters of this league and its incredible athletes, we recognize the value, talent, and impact players bring to the sport—not just on the court, but across communities, industries, and movements for justice. The WNBA has become a global symbol of excellence, activism, and leadership—largely because of the strength, vision, and unity of its players. Every part of this business has grown—media rights, ticket sales, team valuations. The only thing still capped is player salaries. This is unacceptable. The people driving this growth—the players, deserve their fair share. We support the WNBPA’s call for salary and benefits that reflect players&#x27; true value and contributions to the game, the league, and the culture around it. We stand behind players demands for: Sustainable salaries and a modern revenue-sharing structure, Comprehensive healthcare and wellness benefits, including full support for parental and family care, Safe, equitable travel standards, including full charter flight access, Transparency and equity in league operations and partnerships, and A continued commitment to player voice and leadership in shaping the WNBA’s future. The WNBPA&#x27;s fight is part of an overdue and broader wave across women’s sports. In recent years, the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) renegotiated its CBA ahead of schedule—abolishing outdated systems like the draft, expanding free agency, nearly doubling minimum salaries, and securing full healthcare, mental health leave, and travel protections. These landmark deals—driven by players and fans—show what’s possible when players are valued and invested in as full partners in a league’s success. Now, it’s time for the WNBA to meet this moment. The league cannot sustain growth without its players. The WNBA’s future and its integrity depends on a contract that honors those who make it what it is: the players. We urge the league commissioners, owners, and all stakeholders to negotiate in good faith and to center the voices and needs of the players in every decision. We will proudly let the WNBA and NBA know that as fans we expect them to do the right thing. We stand with the players. It&#x27;s time. Together, we raise our voices: Pay them what you owe them!",
