Minnesota Lynx power forward Napheesa Collier, New York Liberty centers Jonquel Jones and Nyara Sabally, Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull, and Phoenix Mercury forward Satou Sabally were honored as Glamour Magazine’s 2025 Women of the Year. Under the theme “Sisterhood,” they talk about unity, fighting for fair wages, and having an active voice in the league’s future.

The amount of money that Caitlin Clark has made the league is insane, and she’s getting 0% of it because we have no revenue share,” Collier stated. She also mentioned that Clark gets less than $80,000 a year.

The Fight For Fair Revenue Sharing

Increased investment in the league is likely to result in improved compensation for the players. The ongoing discussions regarding expenses and reported financial losses can only be substantiated through a comprehensive examination of the financial statements.

The leading athletes in various sports are subject to restrictions regarding their maximum earnings. They generate greater overall income through partnerships with brands and sponsorship agreements.

Upon Clark’s initial arrival in the WNBA, Collier was among the individuals who did not harbor any negative sentiments toward her. She acknowledged that the league is currently attracting significant attention, which is resulting in increased investments.

She even said the WNBA has bad leadership. Players in the WNBA still get a lot of negative reactions for asking for a bigger share of the money the league makes.

She is an exceptional player who effectively leads the team and ranks among the finest in the league. She embodies admirable qualities both as a person and as a leader.
