00:00So the WNBA never stops giving when it comes to content.
00:04I've never seen anything like this.
00:06You talk about incompetence.
00:08When it comes to running that league, and Kathy Engelbert,
00:11the commissioner of that league, just will not get it right.
00:15So this week, there was a tweet that was put up,
00:21and we have to show you this tweet.
00:24Two players in the WNBA were talking about betting on a game.
00:32And here's this tweet that went viral.
00:35And by the way, this was on the WNBA Twitter page.
00:41Roll it, guys.
00:42At All-Star Weekend, you and Angel made a bet with each other on this game.
00:45We did.
00:46This is how the rich stay rich.
00:48You got to save this money.
00:50I'm going to see you next week on Wednesday.
00:52Yeah.
00:52At night?
00:54No, at practice.
00:55Oh, at practice?
00:56I mean, I know you're going to lose, but if y'all lose, you pay.
01:00I get to have that.
01:01If y'all win, you get it for $100.
01:03I get $400, too.
01:04And if we lose, then you get $200.
01:07No, you owe me $400.
01:10Bet on the same moment.
01:11On the same moment.
01:14Okay, so two players were talking about betting on a game prior to playing the game.
01:21Could you imagine that in both college?
01:23We just went through Brandon Sorsby, and then we just went through the issues that are going on in the
01:29National Football League.
01:30And the WNBA actually promoted that and put it on their website.
01:37When are we going to see a change at the top?
01:40Look, the WNBA is in a really good place right now.
01:44I've said this before to you guys.
01:4628 years, that league lost a ton of money and was going nowhere.
01:51Now, you have an opportunity to make a boatload of money.
01:55The league is getting massive exposure, and you're seeing great promotion when it comes to the players with great identities.
02:03Look at Sophie Cunningham.
02:05Sophie Cunningham is not one of the top 20 players in that sport, but yet she's becoming a cult figure.
02:10The league is actually gaining steam and being covered like a mainstream sport.
02:16When are they going to get the leadership that they need at the top?
02:19You're talking about gambling between players, and they actually, like I said, put that video on their Twitter page and
02:29thought that that was a good idea.
02:31You know, the commissioner of the league, again, is a buffoon.
02:35She just absolutely doesn't understand what she has here with a moneymaker now that the NBA is looking even down
02:42into when you're talking with Adam Silver now getting involved.
02:45WNBA players are making more money.
02:47They're traveling first class.
02:50They're getting an opportunity to play in all these great arenas, and now you've got to start acting like a
02:56mainstream sport.
02:57You're no longer just an off sport.
03:00You are now being covered like a major sport.
03:04I don't really think they were prepared for this.
03:07You know how sometimes you're a young athlete, and you get drafted.
03:11I show this to people all the time and tell people this all the time.
03:15When I went into the National Football League and I got my signing bonus with the Buccaneers, I had more
03:22money than I had ever had in my entire life at the time.
03:25I had no idea what I was getting into.
03:27I had no idea I wasn't prepared going into that with the kind of money and the kind of fame
03:32that you go into when you go into a league.
03:34You're not prepared for that.
03:36It looks to me like the WNBA is not prepared for the big time.
03:40They have not really done a great job at answering any questions when it comes to the athletes, when it
03:48comes to the storylines we saw with the owner in Seattle going after fans in the stands.
03:55I mean, guys, you're now in a position where this league is now being covered like the NBA.
04:03Act like it.
04:05You're professionals.
04:07You've got to know where you are when it comes to gambling.
04:10When you're an athlete, gambling right now, folks, is a taboo when it comes to these commissioners.
04:17They don't want it being seen that the game again has got any kind of issues when it comes to
04:24gambling.
04:24We saw that in college football.
04:26And now you're putting that out there and you're tweeting that out.
04:30Look, they got a long way to go before they're going to be really recognized on doing the right thing
04:36and making that league really where people think it should be.
04:41It's in a great place financially for the first time in nearly 30 years.
04:46And now they've got a shot.
04:48These folks need to get their you-know-what together and get their opportunity to promote that league and go
04:55forward with it and understand that they're in a position now where they can make themselves a lot of money
05:00and make the other players in the game a lot of money.
05:03Stuff like that.
05:05You thought that was a good idea?
05:07Like where?
05:08My God.
