The WNBA CBA negotiations have reached a critical moment, and it didn’t happen overnight. In today’s episode of Courtside Club, we break down ESPN’s deep dive on how the league and players’ union got here, tracing the biggest moments from the 2020 “groundbreaking” CBA to today’s dilemma. We talk about how prioritization rules, overseas play, charter flights, facilities upgrades, and ownership structure have shaped the current standoff, and why the financial landscape looks completely different than it did just six years ago. Plus, we dive into the Caitlin Clark effect and how her arrival accelerated attendance, viewership, and leverage for players, changing the power dynamics of women’s basketball in real time. From the bubble era to billion-dollar TV contracts, this episode looks at how the WNBA got here and what it means for the future of the league, the players, and the next CBA. #CaitlinClark #WNBA Subscribe to #CourtsideClub now 👏: Spotify 🔗: https://spoti.fi/3QyFchC Apple 🔗: https://apple.co/3QyFqoY INSTAGRAM 📸: http://instagram.com/rademita/ TIKTOK 📹: https://www.tiktok.com/@rademita TWITTER 💬: https://twitter.com/RADeMita
