Kylie Kelce has never been afraid to speak her mind, which is why she is firmly behind WNBA players demanding more money.
In the latest episode of her podcast, the wife of one of the most iconic NFL players briefly delved into the world of the WNBA and delivered a compelling explanation.
“This feels like we’re playing and figuring something out,” said Kelce. “The league, playing, the players said: ‘Figure it out, look at my jersey.'”
The die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan then went full NSFW on why the W’s players deserve more money.
“This feels very much like f— around and find out energy,” Kelce said. “The league, f—ing around, the players said, ‘Find out, check out my shirt.'”
“Players are just looking for a bigger share of the revenue,” continued Kelce about WNBA players.

“The people whose argument is that they are not bringing in as much money as the men can kick rocks. Because that is not what the WNBA [players] are trying to do. … We need to make sure that our female athletes know that they can be compensated appropriately for being someone worth following. They are role models to young women everywhere, and they are bringing in the revenue that they should get a share of.”
WNBA players made a statement about being paid more as they negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement with the league.
All of the players on Team Clark and Team Collier wore shirts with the message, “Pay us what you owe us,” as they warmed up in front of a sold-out crowd of over 16,000 attendees ahead of their All-Star Game in Indianapolis.
That move came days after more than 40 players met with the WNBA and failed to reach a new collective bargaining agreement.
The players opted out of their last CBA and are currently negotiating for a better revenue-sharing model, higher salaries, better benefits, and a softer salary cap.
MarketWatch reports that WNBA players currently receive 9.3% of league revenue, including TV deals, tickets, and merchandise sales.
NBA revenue is split roughly 50/50 between players and owners, with players receiving between 49% and 51% of basketball-related income.
This is just one of many reasons why Kylie Kelce and others are behind them.
