The WNBA is abuzz with a burning issue. Owing to the sudden boom in its popularity, the league has attracted a lot of eyeballs. And in turn, fans have become accustomed to names like Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, Sabrina Ionescu, and more. Unfortunately, despite having such a strong presence in and outside of the hardwood, the WNBA players are pretty much unhappy about the cash flow.
Calling for equal rights, the WNBA athletes are pressing the front office at the moment. And while commenting on the issue, Kylie Kelce had an NSFW outburst to explain the situation.
Kylie Kelce Makes WNBA Equal Pay Feelings Clear With Strong Words
Kylie Kelce is the wife of the retired NFL star, Jason Kelce. In a recent interaction, the die-hard Philadelphia Eagles’ fan delved deep into the hoops world. Speaking about equal pay, Kelce stated that the WNBA athletes were pretty much on point about their demands. She went on to say that currently, the league is offering a meager 9% of the total revenue to the athletes.
However, Kelce believes that with the ongoing CBA negotiations going on, the players must get what they deserve. She also believed that the latest media rights deal will add up significantly to the league’s overall valuation. However, for all the ones reluctant to pay the WNBA athletes more, Kelce had a fierce statement to make.
“This feels very much like f— around and find out energy… The league, f—ing around, the players said, ‘Find out, check out my shirt,” said Kelce.
