Here is his bio from Forbes.  Note how many top publications he's written for.  This professor of economics is no slouch.  So his being let go by Forbes casts more doubt on Forbes's motivations and the influence of WNBA management than it does on Barri's years-long reputation.

"I am a professor of economics at Southern Utah University who has spent the last two decades researching sports and economics. I am the lead author of "The Wages of Wins" (Stanford Press, 2006) and "Stumbling on Wins" (Financial Times Press, 2010). In addition, I am the sole author of "Sports Economics" (a 2018 textbook from Macmillan Publishers). I have been part of more than 50 academic papers published on the subject of sports economics; work that covers a wide variety of topics including the evaluation of players and coaches, competitive balance, the drafting of players, labor disputes, the NCAA, and gender issues in sports. In the past, I have written on the subject of sports economics for a number of popular media outlets, including the New York Times, the Atlantic.com, Time.com, and Vice Sports."
