The WNBA CBA proposal discussed today would bring max salaries up to $1.1 million. That's a big increase, but still means the highest-paid player would almost certainly make less than the commissioner.
I don't think that's the case in any major men's sport, and just feels kind of gross, right?

Mo'ne Davis spent years telling people that she was done playing baseball. She did not want to be forever defined by what she did as a 13-year-old in Little League, a decade ago, and she did not feel like there was space for her to do much else. And then she felt differently. On Davis and the WPBL:
