Napheesa Collier Vs The WNBA

Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier had time this week. During her team's exit interview this week, Collier gave an impeccable read of WNBA Commissioner Cathy Englebert and the league’s leadership. She claimed that “W”s executive team “lacks accountability.” 

“We have the best players in the world,” Collier explained. “We have the best fans in the world. But right now we have the worst leadership in the world."

Collier went on to accuse the league of self-sabotage for ignoring player safety concerns and deploying inexperienced officials for games. She also claimed that Engelbert said that Caitlin Clark and others "should be on their knees" in gratitude for the platform the league has given them. A’ja Wilson and Clark have backed Collier’s stance on the league.
