Standing in solidarity. 🤝⁣ ⁣ The NFL Players Association dropped a statement of support for the WNBPA amid ongoing CBA negotiations. 🔥⁣ ⁣ About a year ago, the WNBPA announced players would opt out of their current deal — originally set to expire after the 2025 season — calling it a chance to redefine the future of the league. 👏⁣ ⁣ WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike described it as a “defining moment,” pushing for a new economic model built on equity and players getting their rightful share of the business they’ve helped build. 💪⁣ ⁣ And with the WNBA pulling in record revenue — an estimated $226M in 2024 and a projected $500M by 2026 — the players are making it clear: they deserve a bigger piece of the pie as negotiations continue to heat up and tensions continue to rise. 🏀💰⁣ ⁣ GISTers, how are ya feeling about the NFLPA's statement? 👀#thegist⁣ ⁣ #menssports #womenssports #basketball #wnba #nfl #nflpa #wnbpa #football⁣
