Description

Liz and Karen break down the dollars--and sense--currently in play for the WNBA athletes: There’s the Commissioner's Cup (happening this month), plus more eyeballs on the game. There’s unwanted scrutiny as well as an opportunity WNBA players to start demanding more compensation for their play. Liz says “get greedy.” Money Mama Karen walks through valuations, as well as the vast pay gap between the WNBA Commissioner's Cup and the NBA In-season Tournament. They also discuss Caitlin's Clark role in addressing the conversation that fans and sports pundits are having about her. What is her responsibility for her own narrative? Also in this episode: the NBA free agency gets both Liz and Karen calling foul! MENTIONS:WNBA Commissioner's Cup gets moved: https://www.espn.com/wnba/story/_/id/40370594/commissioner-cup-title-game-moved-ubs-arena-due-nba-draft NBA In-Season Tournment money explained: https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/sports/nba/nba-in-season-tournament-prize-money-explained/3279267/ First Ever WNBA Valuations: https://www.instagram.com/p/C8ZiQmLuHzD/ Caitlin Clark doesn't want to be responsible for the worst takes about her: https://www.sbnation.com/wnba/2024/6/13/24178123/caitlin-clark-fever-dijonai-carrington-chennedy-carter-race-culture-wars-controversy Send a voice note to us at: hoopsoffpod@gmail.comFollow us on Instagram @thehoopsoff https://www.instagram.com/thehoopsoff/
