At some point during or after this conversation the player that was speaking to the commish had some sort of epiphany.

Hopefully so. Have to watch for the commissioner digging in and fighting the players.

Makes it easier to say the skill level difference is not as far off from the NBA as many think, it’s just the women play more physical.

In that same conversation, she told me 'players should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the media rights deal that I got them.'

Caitlin and Paige and Angel were major brands in college.

The WNBA is colossally stupid for not marketing them. If the 5-10 most popular players joined a rival league that league would instantly be more popular.

Famous for taunting Clark is not a brand.

Hitching your Plow-horse to Secretariat does not make it a Thoroughbred.

Reese got "famous" for the ring gesture because fans were watching Caitlin and she ran with that exposure. .Outside of Baton Rogue she wasn't on any fan radar like most women CBB players.

What do they want? They are getting paid while not making any money. The are getting on tv and getting endorsement deals. What more is there?

No matter how she did it, she turned that into a brand though.
