WNBA President: Clark and others have to kneel down and thank me! President, you are so arrogant!

1:26pm, 1 October 2025【Basketball】

The WNBA came in early this morning. Bobcats star and American female basketball player Collier directly fired at the league president at the season summary meeting.

The reason for the fire was that in the semi-final G3, the entire Bobcats were extremely dissatisfied with the penalty. As the team's boss, Collier was injured in the game and missed the G4. Head coach Reeve was suspended for G4 due to various situations such as being dissatisfied with the penalty and being insulted by the referee, failing to leave the court in time after being expelled, making inappropriate remarks to fans when leaving the court, and remarks at post-match press conferences.

The most important thing is that the head coach and core Collier's Bobcats were missing, and G4 was eliminated. This made the Bobcats, who is the first record in the regular season league, really angry.

Collier directly complained with articles at the press conference: "We have the best league in the world, we have the best fans in the world, but we have the worst league senior executives in the world."

, and Collier, who was originally angry because he thought he was subjected to unfair punishment, league president Engbert added fuel to the fire and told Collier that "only the losers complain about the referee." This made Collier directly reveal the conversation between the two at the press conference.

What's even more awesome is that Engbert also believes that people like Clark make a lot of money because of her and the WNBA platform. Collier hadn't originally planned to say it, but the elimination of this series really made her angry. She said at the press conference that Caitlyn Clark, Rees and Bux, the three players, obviously brought huge revenues to the league, but they had earned so little in the first four years, and how she plans to solve this problem. Engelbert said in a surprising way: "Katelyn Clark should be grateful that she could make $16 million off-court because without the platform given to her by the WNBA, she would not make anything. Her endorsement contract was facilitated by the league. Players should kneel down and thank me for the media broadcast contract I won for them."

This morning, the WNBPA Players' Union also supported Collier, saying: "Collier is an outstanding leader and officer of our union. When she speaks, people will listen. We are sure that her remarks today represent the feelings and experiences of many, even most or all of the players."

Many players also spoke up and said that Collier was what they wanted to say.

, and Engbert issued a statement that he was just talking to him. We know, and regretted Collier's remarks. Of course, this is normal. After all, the president cannot openly fight with his players.

However, there is another rumor coming from the latest news, and some people deny it. Some sources said that Engbert may step down as WNBA president after negotiations on the Labor and Capital Agreement (CBA). Because many people think that she: "She lacks communication skills and she is not a good person to build relationships." But a WNBA spokesperson responded that rumors about Engbert's future were "completely false."

No matter what, the boss of the team with the league MVP and league first record today named the boss at the press conference, and the hearts of the president are really lost.
