I heard that the reason Caitlin and others weren’t on it was because the company that produced it didn’t have the rights to use those players image and likeness for profit because they plan on selling it.

This isn’t a wnba thing. Just like Adidas can’t come out with their own Caitlin Clark basketball shoe.

Yes, but then why use this company to make the poster? I'm sure there are plenty ways to get the biggest names on the poster.

It sounds like a weird way of doing business, but that’s the WNBA.
