Minnesota Lynx power forward Napheesa Collier called out WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert for disrespecting and devaluing players, something that appears to be more of a pattern than an isolated incident. A WNBA strike is looming.
Napheesa Collier during Lynx exit interviews on Tuesday: “We have the best league in the world. We have the best fans in the world. But we have the worst leadership in the world.“
Catlin Clark Agrees with Collier’s Comments About The WNBA
Engelbert, the commissioner of the WNBA, stated that Indiana Fever point guard Caitlin Clark should be appreciative of the league for her sponsorship deals. This statement is not only misguided, but it is also disrespectful.
Clark entered the WNBA as one of the most marketable athletes in American sports. Before she even wore a professional jersey, her name was already tied to NIL deals, featured in major headlines, and she played in sold-out arenas. She didn’t rely on the WNBA to make her a star—she brought millions of fans with her.
Collier’s Message Was Heard All Around the WNBA
Engelbert should choose to resign from her position as WNBA Commissioner, or she should be fired immediately. The league must take responsibility for its failures.
