How to buy the 'Pay Us What You Owe Us" shirts seen at the WNBA All-Star Game
The stars of the WNBA took to the court with a message as they warmed up for the 2025 All-Star Game. Players were wearing shirts that read, 'Pay Us What You Owe Us.' The shirts came two days after more than 40 players met with the league in what is being reported as unsuccessful collective bargaining agreement negotiations.
Now, the Women's National Basketball Players Association (WNBPA) has officially licensed the shirts for fans to support the mission. The mission in question? Higher salaries and a larger piece of the revenue for players.

The salary issue in the WNBA
USA Today's Nancy Armour reports that the WNBA signed a massive media deal, adding $200 million a year in revenue next year. Plus, with the added attention and growing fanbase, individual franchise values are also increasing.
Armour also reports that player salaries top out at $250,000 and revenue “sharing” is around 10%, compared to the 50% that is typical of almost every professional men’s league.
