Our Reading
The routine arrives with confidence.
Erica Wheeler’s salary increase is a prime example of the WNBA’s new collective bargaining agreement. The league’s players are now making more money, and some are taking to social media to brag about it. Wheeler’s tweet about people being “mad” that WNBA players are making more money is a perfect example of this. The tweet has sparked controversy, with many calling out Wheeler for being insensitive to those who make less than $150,000 a year.
The habit gets a new name: ” WNBA players making bank and flexing on the ‘broke’ masses.”
Original observation: The wealthy athlete mocking the average American’s salary is a classic move, and we’re only a month into the WNBA’s new pay era.
