Indiana Fever<\/u><\/a> star Caitlin Clark was drawn into controversy this week after WNBPA Vice President Napheesa Collier claimed that league Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said that the former Iowa star should be “grateful” for the platform the league provides her during a conversation about salary concerns.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The allegations prompted Clark\u2019s teammate, Sophie Cunningham, to fire back on social media, calling Engelbert “the most delusional leader” in\u00a0WNBA<\/u><\/a> history.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The controversy began this week when, on Tuesday, Collier read a statement in front of members of the media raising concerns about the “lack of accountability from the league office.” In her remarks, Collier recalled an alleged conversation with Engelbert, in which the commissioner made patronizing remarks regarding player concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I sat across from Cathy and asked how she planned to address the officiating issues in our league,” Collier said. “Her response was, ‘Well, only the losers complain about the refs.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I also asked how she planned to fix the fact that\u00a0players like Caitlin,<\/u><\/a> Angel [Reese] and Paige [Bueckers], who are clearly driving massive revenue for the league, are making so little for their first four years. Her response was, ‘Caitlin should be grateful she makes $16 million off the court, because without the platform that the WNBA gives her, she wouldn’t make anything.’<\/p>\n

“And in that same conversation, she told me, ‘Players should be on their knees thanking their lucky stars for the media rights deal that I got them.’ That’s the mentality driving our league from the top.”<\/p>\n

Engelbert\u2019s alleged comments prompted Fever guard\u00a0Sophie Cunningham,<\/u><\/a> who also had her season cut short due to injury, to defend her teammate on social media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“People only know Cathy because of C\u2026. She\u2019s the most delusional leader our league has seen,” Cunningham wrote in a comment on a post on Instagram.<\/p>\n

Clark has not commented publicly on Collier\u2019s statement, but during the All-Star break this past season, she and other players wore black T-shirts with a message that read “Pay us what you owe us.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The message was in support of the players\u2019 position regarding compensation amid the ongoing collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations. The players\u2019 association and the WNBA agreed to an eight-year agreement in 2020, but last year the WNBPA voted to opt out of the agreement early.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The current agreement is due to expire on Oct. 31.\u00a0<\/p>\n
