There is just a collective “yeah fuck this bitch” energy circling around, and the league knows the players aren't gonna change their feelings unless she kinda flies under the radar

i think the heart of that sentiment is just that. there have always been so many talented women in the league (particularly of color) that have been competitive for decades (the comets 4-peated and dissolved as a franchise in the same decade ffs) but never got any recognition until she came along. not that the attention is a bad thing, just sucks that a white girl from iowa is what it took for 25 years of grinding to actually get recognized

She’s brought so much to the leauge, more fans, better tv ratings, more merch sales. Which has let to more revenue for the entire leauge. Most teams now fly private instead of commercial, and there’s been increases in salaries to reflect the better attendance and ratings. You would think the players would treat someone who helped bring that to the league a little better. I understand it wasn’t all her and there were a lot of other players in her draft that helped too but still
