Months after the end of the 2025 season, there are still no signs that we\u2019re anywhere close to getting a new CBA. The league and the players\u2019 association still don\u2019t agree on what the revenue-sharing system should look like. With April fast approaching, fans are getting anxious and frustrated. Some direct that frustration at the league for lowballing the players, while others believe that the players\u2019 \u201cunrealistic\u201d demands are the reason the season will likely be delayed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Cameron Brink knows that it\u2019s a complicated issue, but still hopes that fans will stick with the players during the negotiations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s so much, and it\u2019s such a layered issue, but I would really just say to the fans and to the people that support us, please continue that support and let us know that we\u2019re valid in what we\u2019re asking for,\u201d Brink said in a recent interview with ESPN<\/a>. \u201cAs women, we\u2019re made to feel bad about wanting more and advocating for more for ourselves, but I think it\u2019s just so important to know your worth, and we know we\u2019re worth more.\u201d<\/p>\n For the players, there\u2019s a lot more at stake in these negotiations than just whether the next season takes place and how much money they make, and fans should remember that. For the longest time, WNBA players were supposed to just be grateful that they had a league to play in. Now, they finally have the leverage to negotiate better facility standards, higher salaries, retirement and family planning benefits, and a fair share of the money they generate. At their very core, these negotiations are about respect and helping women\u2019s sports take the next step forward.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Players got fans on board early<\/p>\n
