“WNBA players have recently become the target of made-up quotes on Instagram and Twitter meant to inhibit the athletes’ push for better pay to fix the league’s wage gap problem. In recent weeks, Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner, Dallas Wings guard Skylar Diggins-Smith, and Las Vegas Aces forward Tamera Young have all been attributed to false quotes that have gone viral, some even then falsely aggregated by large news outlets.
The WNBA’s pay disparity has become a bigger topic than ever in the 2018 season because both the league and the Players Association have a Nov. 1 opt-out date for the current Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The players have used their voices on social media and through the media to bolster their claim for a better share of the league’s revenue. While NBA players make around 50 percent of their league’s revenue, WNBA players earn in the realm of 20 percent of an even smaller pot. That’s why most players head overseas during the WNBA’s offseason to make three to 15 times as much money in Europe, Asia, and Australia."
