Chicago Sky Star Makes Demand After Loss on Sunday<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Chicago Sky lost to the Atlanta Dream on Sunday, falling to 3-10 on the WNBA season. While it ultimately goes down as another tally in a growing loss column, there were some positive developments for Chicago.<\/p>\n

One encouraging sign for the Sky was how reserve center Elizabeth Williams performed. The 2017 All-Star tallied 16 points and five rebounds off the bench. While this marked a season-high in scoring for Williams, she had bigger things on her mind after the game.<\/p>\n

As the secretary of the WNBA Player’s Association, Williams demanded player salaries begin reflecting the league’s growth in recent years.<\/p>\n

As reported and transcribed by Sky reporter Karli Bell, Williams issued a clear message:<\/p>\n

“On behalf on my teammates and every member of our union, I want to be clear that we remain committed to negotiating the next CBA with the league and the teams in good faith and privately, but we do want to set the record straight not for the headlines but for the fans who support us and deserve transparency about what’s at stake.”<\/p>\n

She added, “This is a defining moment for the WNBA. As the league grows, it’s time for a CBA that reflects our true value…\u00a0We deserve a fair share, and we’re demanding salaries that reflect our true value.”<\/p>\n

Last month, Ben Pickman of The Athletic<\/a> provided some insight into the ongoing CBA negotiations.<\/p>\n

“Players are coming to the negotiating table with several priorities, including increased salaries, a softened salary cap and more access to family planning services,” he reported. “Retirement benefits that provide long-term security for players and their families are also among key priorities, and standardizing team work environments, including facility and travel accommodations as well as support staff minimums, are on the list too.”<\/p>\n
