INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 All of the players on Team Clark and Team Collier warmed up for Saturday night\u2019s WNBA All-Star Game<\/a> in shirts that read \u201cPay us what you owe us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Below the text was a logo for the WNBPA, the players’ union, which announced on social media during the game that the shirts are now on sale.<\/p>\n

The shirts come after the players and the league failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement at an in-person meeting Thursday<\/a>. The league\u2019s players opted out of their last CBA in October, and are looking for a better revenue-sharing model, increased salaries, improved benefits and a softer salary cap.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just so inspired by the amount of players that showed up, the engagement that was there,\u201d WNBPA President Nneka Ogwumike said. \u201cThat\u2019s really what it\u2019s all about. Because the more that happens, the more that we\u2019re going to be able to get things done. I think today we\u2019re going to be able to use this conversation to start rolling the ball on things.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the failed negotiations, many players said there was a large discrepancy between what they wanted and what the league was offering. If a new CBA is not reached by October some players, including All-Stars Napheesa Collier and Angel Reese, have mentioned the potential of a walkout.<\/p>\n
