Hey, everyone's quick health question. Even though you're still thriving,

respiratory illnesses like flu, new micastleo, pneumonia, RSV, and COVID
nineteen this fall, ask your doctor which vaccines you need

is time now for junior and sports talk. What you
got junior?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Well, Game three of the w NBA Finals. Hey, man,
the Aces over to Mercury right now? The Ace is
leading to zero? Okay? That Asia Wilson averaging twenty five
and teen. Who the for the Aces?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Man? That girl is she live by?

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Brought me twenty five eighteen every night? Yes, fright? But
speak of the WNBA. Have y'all seen the feast and
the FEASA? Call you for the Minnesota links? Have you
heard when she see it about? She called out the league.
She called out the WNBA for their lack of leadership, accountability,
the officiating the way they treat the players. She called
out the attire WNBA, even the commissioner, Kathy Ingelbert. They

(01:10):
were supposed to have a meeting yesterday, but FISA she canceled.
She said, nah, no, she told the commission Now you
say you respect the players, then you get up there
on the stand and say I lied about everything I said,
and now you don't have no accountability. This is when
she talked about So she don't want to have a
meeting no more. And she's tired of it. All the
players are tired of yet. Matter of fact, when she
told her, she said, you know what, it's a shame

(01:32):
that Kaitlyn Clark and Angel Reese are the two prominent
people in this league and they got to make all
their money off the court. And she says, yeah, well,
you know, Kaitlyn and Angel need to be happy because
they would have an MWA. But if they'd had a WNBA,
they would be able to make this type of money
off the court. And she said, oh really, so we
got to go off the court to make our money. Well,
everybody in the WNBA can't do that, and that's one

(01:53):
of the problems. She said, Hey, look, I don't even
want to meet with y'all since y'all don't even acknowledge
that we are underpaid. You won't even acknowledge that y'all
have not giving us the best treatment. You acknowledge the
officiating is poor. Why would I sit there and meet
what you did?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Well? Now see, listen to me. You can only bring
about change by sitting down people say. People have a
lot of sayings that don't make no sense. I don't
break bread with the enemy. The only way to have
pieces to sit down with your enemies. It's the only
way and the only way to bring about changes. You
have to meet with people that have a different viewpoint

(02:27):
than you. That's the only way to meet. And I
understand what the young sisters saying. There is a disparity
in pay in the NBA and the WNBA, but there's
also a game a number of games played disparity. There's
also an attendance disparity, and there's also a cost of
ticket prices disparity. And everybody can't make what Angel Rees

(02:50):
and Caitlin Clark mates. But have you ever thought could
it be? Could it be maybe that your brand that
you portray on on and off the court is not
a marketable brand. See if the first thing, the only
thing you can change immediately is yourself. Sometimes, man, you

(03:11):
gotta look within to make the change. W ain't being
nothing to pay y'all, no more money right now, but
in seasons to come, it's going to have to change.
Because of Angel Reaes, because of Katen Clark, there are
more people attending games. But I'm gonna tell you right now,
if all women supported women's sports, y'all wouldn't have no problem.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
All right, Junior, Wait, you're listening to the Steve Harvey
