Message: [QUOTE="Crossover, post: 5350306, member: 1067"] "Giant elephant"? "Travesty"? What exactly is the conflict of interest, or appearance of same, that almost everyone but you is ignoring? Are you suggesting that the owners of Unrivaled have an interest in suppressing WNBA salaries, benefits, etc.? That they have an interest in holding out for greater salaries, benefits etc. than are reasonable or justified? Neither of these makes sense to me. I think it is in Unrivaled's interest that the W flourish. Or is your concern that the interests of Unrivaled's owners might be antagonistic to the interests of the W's owners? How so, apart from the antagonism (or adverse interests) that exist between all W players and W ownership? In any event, as others have noted, Phee and Stewie represent the W's players, not it's ownership. It is already apparent that the existence of Unrivaled, and it's culture of providing maximal support for it's athletes, strengthens the resolve of the W's players, and puts pressure on its owners to do better.
