Yea nobody in the mainstream media has really brought that up

Let the lockout happen and carry over to the Unrivaled season, the options are optics are going to change and those players aren't part of the team or able to play overseas will be looking at them funny in the light.

I say that as someone who defended them earlier this week when they initially came out with the comments.

Put the personal feelings aside and do what's best for the players like they voted you to do.

Of course, which is why she should have stepped down as Player President long ago. It's a conflict of interest for any of them that play in Unrivaled or have a vested interest in it.

They have public support on their side, so it won't be called it, but behind the scenes it should for players that won't be able to play in Unrivaled or have that backup plan as they can't accept everybody.

For the record, Phee isn't the president. That's Nneka.

Phee is one of the vice presidents, along with Stewie.

I stand corrected, but it's still bad optics to let personal feelings get the way of you doing your job and you were voted to do.

Wooow

time for cathy to go ahead and step down on her own accord. she is a distraction

She's doing her job

Cathy is a not a competent prez

She can't balance the interests of the owners and players

Phee & Stewie were smart for starting unrivaled bc it is a blueprint of how the league should provide resources to players. Don't even get me started on the financials. Unrivaled values players above all. What does Cathy value? She obviously feels like players are a dime a dozen. The W is not the NFL & she's not Roger Goodell. She doesn't have that standing. She can be replaced next wk.

Exactly. Bytch gonna lie to the public to protect her integrity. She simply had to say that it was a misunderstanding and she may have misspoke, but she's supportive of all players.

Doing her job would be still taking the meeting even with hurt feelings.

The meeting wasn't for league business, it was to have a meeting of the minds and cross the bridge as it pertained to Phee's comments

Business is business, and that meeting would have no relevance to the overall negotiations

Cathy is an ineffective commissioner. She gotta go

Which is still league business if both are going to be at the negotiating table during the next CBA talks.

Engelbert needs to go, but worry about that later after an agreement has been reached.

Those in the UConn mafia saying that isn't a conflict of interest because the WNBA and Unrivaled don't overlap while ignoring the fact that Unrivaled is being used a negotiationing tool because they are paying the players a higher salary.

What Phee did was strategic. She's trying to get Cathy out of the paint. There are lawyers for negotiation. That meeting was gonna be a sideshow.

Adam Silver is on the clock.

What's the difference between between athletes unlimited and unrivaled

Nikkas have no rap for AU

Her legacy was gonna be this CBA...I don't see how she can be trusted to lead the interests of the league and the owners in reaching an agreement with the PA
