A’ja Wilson backs Napheesa Collier: ‘I was honestly disgusted by the comments that Cathy made’

The management of the WNBA was exploded when the Lynx goalkeeper of Minnesota Napheesa Collier made a solid statement during his exit interview on Tuesday. She received a lot of support, and one of the strongest answers came from the quadruple MVP of Wnba A’ja Wilson shortly after the Aces hit their ticket for the WNBA final.

Wilson had not commented much of the collar declaration earlier in the day, because she was preparing to face Indiana’s fever in the decisive match 5. After Las Vegas won the 107-98 victory, Wilson said that she had more time to listen to the collar declaration and opened her post-match press conference with her reflections on the situation.

“I was honestly disgusted by the comments that Cathy made,” said Wilson. “But at the same time, I am very grateful that we have people like Phee in our Association Committee of players who represent us, because this is what we will have to continue to put pressure on us to support what we believe. I am grateful to make these types of people can continue to speak for us.

“I’m going to ride with Phee, still. Obviously, she is a Girly company and she has her own business. But in the future, we must continue to stand on business while we are talking about this ABC negotiation.”

Collier made several complaints in his declaration, including how Engelbert said that players like Caitlin Clark should be grateful because “without the platform that the WNBA gives it, it would do nothing”. According to Collier, she also said that “players should be on her knees by thanking their lucky stars” for the agreement with the rights of the media that she obtained for the League.

Many voices of the league stood behind her, including The fever coach Stephanie White, Erica Wheeler from Seattle Storm and Angel Reese of Chicago Sky, among others.
