For possession?

Like damn, don't go to Russia.
And when you do, leave those America expectations at home. Could very well save your life...

She went to Russia because WNBA players dont make enough in the US and have to go overseas to make more.

No, they wanted the US to release a russian war criminal and trade him for her. The US refused so they're fucking with her in retaliation.

Well does she think she isn't paid enough or did she just see playing in Russia as another opportunity?

They make more than a livable wage in the US. Saying they "have to " is an overstatement.

Professional NBA players make considerably more because consumers (men and women) believe NBA players are considerably more entertaining and worth higher ticket prices. Why? Ask them. Plenty of social media content with women stating why they're big fans of men's professional basketball, but not as interested in the women's league.

One way for WNBA players to get paid more for performance is convince more women to support the sports league as consumers. Good luck with that. Female sports addicts have existed for decades, yet they have a higher tendency to watch male professional sports instead. And they'll tell you why.

No hate on Griner for chasing green where she can get it, but any claims of a seasoned WNBA player being entitled to the same pay as seasoned NBA players while bringing in a fraction of the ticket sales are ridiculous and pure grift. Consumers have spoken.
