Nneka Ogwumike is the guest for Episode 3 of Changing the Game, our podcast that focuses on how athletes, coaches and broadcasters are changing society’s perception of women.
Opting out of a contract is a gamble. There’s no guarantee you’ll wind up with a better deal, or even be able to keep what you already had.
“We really wanted to see if we could truly make people responsible for what they’re claiming that they support,” she added. “And we’re seeing that. And we want it. We want to see it across the board.” The new deal, agreed to in January, boosted player salaries – by more than 80 percent for the WNBA’s top players. It will give players an equal split of revenue, provided certain benchmarks in broadcast contracts, licensing deals and sponsorships are met.Under the deal, players on maternity leave will get their full salary. The league will reimburse up to $60,000 in costs for adoption, fertility treatments and surrogacy. The league also will provide dedicated nursing areas in arenas.
“Everybody came from a woman. We’re not here without women,” Ogwumike said. “Negotiating this last CBA, it occurred to me that there is so much these moms do not have. With the responsibilities that women have to be both mothers and to also be working … we have to create resources to empower women in all of their roles. Because we serve so many different roles in this world.
