WNBA Star Plum Criticizes Clark's Squad for All-Star Game Protest

In a recent development, WNBA star Kelsey Plum has criticized Caitlin Clark's squad for not attending a meeting about the "Pay Us What You Owe Us" t-shirt protest during the All-Star game. Plum stated that the t-shirt protest was a "very powerful moment" and a "united front" determined by the players that morning, but noted that "zero members of Team Clark were very present for that."

This criticism from Plum comes amid the WNBA's ongoing financial struggles and the potential for a work stoppage due to player salary disputes. The league has never turned a profit, even with the emergence of generational talent like Caitlin Clark, who has helped boost ratings and ticket sales. However, radio host Colin Cowherd has slammed Plum for attacking Clark, the "golden goose" who can potentially help the league generate more revenue.

Cowherd argued that the WNBA players are almost certain to receive a salary increase, but going after the one person who can increase the league's revenue is a "ridiculous" move. He pointed out that the WNBA has gone from struggling with basic amenities to flying private, thanks in large part to the increased interest generated by players like Clark.
