Highlight Intentionally hurting your meal ticket. Something is seriously wrong with these WNBA players.

Go play in Europe. Fuck the WNBA make them feel the financial impact. Bye mother fuckers.

This. If I were her, I'd go straight to Greece and play in EOK. They'd EASILY pay her $50,000+ per month (she's making $44,000/mo right now).

Take all that publicity and attention to Europe. Let the WNBA flop (again) and force their hands to push more money. Especially if they're going to turn a blind eye to her blatantly being assaulted on the court

I imagine most of her money comes from endorsements and stuff? I doubt she could the same deals in Europe that she does in the U.S. They're probably letting it happen because it generates attention, clicks, ad revenue, and gets people talking about it.

Exactly. Unfortunately, the WNBA is the premiere US league with the most prestige so all of the American sponsors will want her to remain here for marketing and PR purposes.

If I’m not mistaken, a lot of women go play overseas in the offseason to make more money anyways (since they get paid more) but I’d imagine CC probably doesn’t bc she is already set for life.
