Former professional WNBA athlete Sue Bird anticipates a sweeping collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for women’s basketball players when they next negotiate their contract in the WNBA.
The retired and winningest American basketball star sat down with the team behind “Sue Bird: In the Clutch” for an interview at TheWrap’s Sundance Portrait and Interview Studio presented by NFP on Saturday.
“Our last CBA, was signed in right before the pandemic, so maybe technically 2019, but early 2020. I always joked it was the CBA before the CBA. This was the CBA that we needed to get done to start over, to set a foundation because the next one was going to be the one that was going to blow everything open,” Bird told TheWrap.
