"Feels like f**k around & find out energy" - Jason Kelce's wife Kylie torches WNBA as Caitlin Clark leads protest for pay rise amid booming revenues

Jason Kelce's wife, Kylie, shared her take on WNBA players protesting for a pay rise during All-Star weekend.

Members from Team Clark and Team Collier wore shirts that said "Pay Us What You Owe Us" during the All-Star Game warm-up after an unsuccessful meeting with the league regarding the collective bargaining agreement.

In an episode of her "Not Gonna Lie" podcast released on Thursday, Kylie highlighted the revenue that the WNBA was generating while breaking down the demands of the players.

Kylie replayed a video of Napheesa Collier's comments from last week about the money the players bring in the WNBA, and how the current generation puts in the effort to earn a piece of the pie.

"You nailed that," Kylie said. "This feels very much like 'f*** around and find out' energy. The league f****d around, the players said, 'find out, check out my shirt,' you know? These WNBA players currently make 9 % of the league's revenue. The new media rights for the WNBA in 2026 are skyrocketing. They will be worth $2.2 billion, a six times increase compared to what the previous agreement was. "Players, they're just looking for a larger share of the revenue. And this is an important point. They are not looking to be paid as much as the men. The people whose argument is that they are not bringing in as much money as the men can kick rocks. That's not what the WNBA is trying to do. They are just trying to get a higher percentage of the league's revenue, which makes a lot of sense."

Angel Reese was among the players who said they would not hesitate to sit out games if they could not reach an agreement with the league regarding the CBA. WNBA Players Association president Nneka Ogwumike said after the All-Star Game that it was one of the factors they would consider.

“We wouldn’t be doing our job if we didn’t let players know, hey, the league is in a different place,” Ogwumike said. “We’re in a different place. Just be prepared for anything that can happen.”
