WNBA players made a statement on Saturday night during the warmups for the WNBA All-Star Game by wearing T-shirts that read, “Pay us what you owe us.” Doug finds their word choice reeks of entitlement because, as we all know, nobody owes you anything and it indicates the players don’t really understand the business side of running a struggling professional sports league.
Doug Gottlieb: “We don’t owe you anything. No one owes you anything. Some of it is semantics. It’s just one word. The word is ‘owe.’ It’s ‘owe!’ Nobody owes you anything! Zero, zilch, nada… ‘Owe’ reeks of entitlement. ‘Owe’ is paying for the past.”
