“Lockout coming” – Fans react as WNBA players rock ‘pay us what you owe us’ shirt in Caitlin Clark’s building

The WNBA Players Association made a powerful statement before the All-Star Game, as players like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese donned “Pay Us What You Owe Us” shirts. This gesture was a clear message to the league and owners amidst ongoing CBA negotiations that were taking place in Indianapolis during the All-Star break.

Leading up to the All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, players took a stand by wearing shirts with the message “Pay Us What You Owe Us,” highlighting the impending expiration of the current CBA at the end of the season. The players are advocating for fairer salaries, especially considering the significant growth of the league in recent years. Players like Clark, Reese, and Paige Bueckers have brought mainstream appeal to the WNBA, indicating the sport’s increasing popularity, with five expansion teams set to join the league between 2026 and 2030.

The statement by the WNBPA garnered attention on social media platforms, particularly on X (formerly known as Twitter). Some fans expressed concerns about the potential for a lockout that could disrupt the progress made in recent years. Here are a few reactions to the statement shirts:

“They want a pay reduction?”
“Isn’t the league in 20+ million dollar debt?”
“Their salary is gonna drop to what they SHOULD be paid if they keep playing these games.”
“Not disrespect or hate just genuine question. Doesn’t the W operate in the negative? Wouldn’t what they are owed be a pay cut by logic?”
“Clark is the only one that deserves millions the rest deserve what they get paid.”

Despite not being able to play in the All-Star Game due to a groin injury, Caitlin Clark, one of the biggest stars in women’s basketball, proudly wore the statement shirt. Clark’s presence at the game was significant, especially since the Indiana Fever were hosting the 2025 WNBA All-Star game.

Moreover, more than 40 WNBA players, including Caitlin Clark, participated in CBA negotiations just before the All-Star Weekend festivities. However, both sides were unable to reach a consensus, with the WNBPA stating that the WNBA’s counteroffer fell short of their expectations. The clock is ticking as both parties have around three months to negotiate a new CBA, with the current agreement set to expire on Oct. 31.

In conclusion, the WNBA players’ advocacy for fair pay and better working conditions is crucial for the continued growth and success of the league. As negotiations continue, it remains to be seen how both sides will come to a resolution that benefits the players, the league, and the future of women’s basketball.
