The president of the WNBPA joining as a player/investor in a basketball league that is literally promoting itself as a rival of the WNBA is a crazy conflict of interest but nothing surprises me anymore with the dealings of the WNBA.

Maybe, I actually see it the opposite: if the members of the WNBPA have attractive competing options, that actually increases their bargaining power, including being able to strike and afford to do so. I see Unrivaled largely the same way. The only way there's a conflict of interest is if these activities actually hurt the incentive or bargaining power of the WNBPA, and I don't see either of them as doing that.

Actually you have 3 players who Actually want women's basketball to succeed. That's different then most of the owners of the teams in the league who have given the players bread crumbs while making money.

This conflict of interest debate is like a Rorschach test.

I watched a podcast yesterday that said the starting salary is $2 million and the league is NOT funded by the Saudis. Who has that kind of money?

There are 100 Americans who are worth 12 billion dollars.

12 billion is enough to pay 12 salaries of 1 million each for
