There’s still no collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for WNBA players and league executives are reportedly showing up to meetings empty-handed. If the WNBA can’t lock in a deal that supports player salaries, revenue sharing, and long-term growth, could Unrivaled shake up the women’s basketball landscape? Over in Unrivaled, the Hive are scrambling to pull it together, but is it too little, too late for a playoff push? We’re also sending support to Rickea Jackson after her ex-boyfriend was charged with aggravated battery. The media coverage of the incident is skewed and disturbing.

At the Winter Olympics, Lindsey Vonn is facing major backlash for competing on a torn ACL because the internet still loves telling elite female athletes what to do with their bodies. We unpack the double standards in sports media and the ongoing policing of women’s choices.

We promise we close on a high note, celebrating Breezy Johnson for earning Team USA’s first medal at the Milano Cortina Games because women’s sports victories deserve the loudest applause. Let’s get into it.
