At the WNBA All-Star Game (yes, that’s a real thing) on Saturday, players wore t-shirts that read: ‘Pay Us What You Owe Us.’ Commenters on X immediately started dunking on the WNBA players left and right, just like any high school boys could easily do if offered the chance.
Aaron Torres (@Aaron_Torres) ~ WNBA players, currently in the middle of CBA negotiations, wore "pay us what you owe us" t-shirts for warm ups at the All-Star game. There is no group of more delusional people on planet Earth, than WNBA players. 🤦♂️🤦♂️

End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~ The WNBA loses $50 million every year and has NEVER generated a profit. You deserve $0.00.
So, the undeniable FACT is that WNBA players richly deserve a $50 million pay cut. How they want to divvy that up amongst themselves is up to them.
Yep, the WNBA is pretty much a charity case kept afloat by the NBA.
Posters couldn’t help but notice the correlation between the WNBA players and the recently canceled ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.’
Alec Lace (@AlecLace) ~ Sounds like the WNBA and The Stephen Colbert Show have a lot in common. They both lose about $50 million a year.
If the NBA was smart, they'd take the same course of action that SeeBS just did.
Barry McQokiner (@parsaver1476) ~ They can’t math 'cuz the league bank statement shows they’re already over-paid.
Yep ... math is OBVIOUSLY NOT the strong suit for WNBA players! They're definitely more adept at other things ... like traveling to Russia with cannabis in their luggage.
Vince Langman (@LangmanVince) ~ Caitlin Clark bent the knee to the radical racist woman in the WNBA by wearing a ridiculous "Pay us you owe us" shirt at the All-Star game tonight. This is no different than a BLM shirt in 2020. I'm officially done defending her!
Quoth The Raven (@ravenquotes33) ~ I build houses. They make more money than me throwing bricks. 😑
WNBA players are excellent at throwing bricks!
JohnRWellington (@JohnRWellington) ~ Nah, just let them play a boys high school team and watch them get run out of the gym.
Joshua Brown (@joshbrown) ~ This is entitlement culture to the core.
Common Sense Todd (@CommonSenseTodd) ~ I’ll give you this. And frankly, I’m being generous.
End Wokeness (@EndWokeness) ~ If the WNBA shirts were honest ...
BAIJ (@Hail_BAIJ) ~ They should have worn this instead ...
Liberacrat™️(@Liberacrat) ~ When you start turning a profit for the WNBA, rather than have it carried by the NBA, then you will be paid what you’re owed. Until then, shut up and play ball.
The last poster is right. There’s no problem asking for a raise, but it only makes sense if your league is making money. So, WNBA players put the silly t-shirts away, and if the league makes a profit a few years down the road, pull them out then. Right now, you look ridiculous and totally out of touch with reality.
