Following their victory over the Connecticut Sun, Valkyries players Tiffany Hayes and Kayla Thornton addressed CBA negotiations with the WNBA, emphasizing the importance of transparency for fans and a fair deal. They highlighted that the current negotiations are crucial as the league grows, arguing for their rightful share of business revenues. This push follows last year's decision to opt out of the existing contract. Support from coaches like Natalie Nakase underlines players' efforts to secure better wages post a significant media rights deal that promises higher revenue.
"We remain committed to negotiating the next CBA with the league in good faith and in private... for the fans to support us and who deserve transparency about what's at stake."
"This is a defining moment for the WNBA as the league grows, it's time for a CBA that will affect our true values. We're fighting for a fair share of the business that we build."
"A huge reason why I wanted to work in the W was to see how I can help, how I can impact... I want to support them 100%."
