At the 2025 WNBA All-Star Game, players wore warmup shirts reading “Pay Us What You Owe Us” in a bold statement demanding fair compensation. The action came amid tense collective bargaining talks between the league and players, who are advocating for a revenue-sharing model that ties salary growth to league success. Nneka Ogwumike, WNBPA president, explained the need for a structure that matches the league’s rising value. Fans echoed support, chanting “pay them!” during the MVP presentation. The protest continues a legacy of activism within the WNBA, reinforcing the players’ demand for equity and respect in a growing sports league.
