Mbappé Takes Blame For PSG: 'I Didn't Do Enough'
The WNBA plans to commit $50 million over the next two years to provide full-time charter flight service for its teams during the season, commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced Tuesday in a move that addresses years of player safety concerns.
Engelbert said in a meeting with sports editors that the league will launch a charter program "as soon as we can get planes in places." She said it's projected to cost around $25 million per year for the next two seasons.
That means no more long security lines, bodyguards in public spaces, cramped legroom or layovers for the professional athletes who have been lobbying for better travel long before Caitlin Clark's celebrity brought newfound interest to the league.
Women's National Basketball Players Association president Nneka Ogwumike called the move "transformational" and credited the collaboration between the WNBPA and the league.
"Our league is growing, the demand for women's basketball is growing," Ogwumike said. "That means more eyes on us, which is what we want, but that means more protection from the organization that we play for, the whole W that we play for.
"Chartering flights not only is a safety measure, the biggest thing, and then obviously what it means to be able to play a game and go home and rest and recover and be the elite athletes that we try to be every single night when we step out onto this court. It's a great day for our league as a whole that we are able to get here and we're going to continue to grow and continue to build and continue to push for even better."
Players such as Minnesota Lynx forward Napheesa Collier and Phoenix Mercury guard Natasha Cloud emphasized the importance of safety in the wake of the league's decision.
"All these players and these faces are becoming so popular that it really is about that as much as it as about recovery," Collier said, noting how last season Brittney Griner was harassed by what the WNBA called a "provocateur" while traveling commercial.
Clark attracted attention walking through the airport with her new Indiana Fever teammates for a preseason game with the Dallas Wings last week. That exhibition sold out, and fans were lined up eager to get inside.
"Above everything else, I think it's the safety of our players," Cloud said. "We have a prime example with BG on our team that needs to be safe. At airports, it's like a madhouse. You see Caitlin Clark walking through airports, people following her, people trying to touch her, get pictures with her. It's just a safety measure, through and through. You would never have an NBA team walk through an airport."
The WNBA already had announced plans to pay for charter flights once again for the playoffs as well as for back-to-back games during the upcoming season. The league introduced that program last year, spending about $4 million on charter flights. Engelbert said at the time the league needed to be in the right financial position to do full-time charter flights.
The WNBA has never been more popular thanks to rookies like Clark, who helped the NCAA reach its best viewership in history for women's basketball, with nearly 19 million fans watching the title game, along with Angel Reese, who went to the Met Gala on Monday night, and Cameron Brink.
Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve said it's not business as usual anymore: It's time for the league, franchises and women's sports to be innovative.
"We've had moments in the league," Reeve said, calling the current momentum a tsunami. "But this is clearly a movement. And if you think it's not, you're going to get left behind."
WNBA teams also have been moving games against Clark and Indiana to bigger arenas because of increased demand. The defending champion Las Vegas Aces became the first WNBA team to sell out its allotted season tickets in March after leading the league in attendance in 2023.
Flights have been an ongoing issue for the WNBA that drew more attention last year when the league began working with the Mercury and Griner after the All-Star center's 10-month detainment in Russia.
The league hadn't allowed teams to use charter flights except for when they had back-to-back games.
That forced players like Breanna Stewart, the 6-foot-4 forward for the New York Liberty, to squeeze past fellow travelers on commercial flights to fit into her assigned window seat. WNBA players also had to not only retrieve their own luggage but endure travel days that could stretch 13 hours with delays.
Charter flights will allow WNBA players to go through private air terminals straight to buses or their own cars when returning home. Avoiding layovers also will help with recovery between games, which is even more crucial with this season's schedule being affected by the Olympics.
WNBA coaches and players were waiting Tuesday for details about the charter flights.
Stewart spoke to reporters via Zoom just before the commissioner spoke in New York. Stewart shared on social media an airplane emoji with a question mark to the attention of the WNBA's account.
Las Vegas coach Becky Hammon, whose Aces already had security in place to protect players, knows what will make everyone ecstatic.
"Everybody's very happy they're not going to have to stand in security lines as much, or as long," Hammon said.
Two-time WNBA MVP A'ja Wilson, who now has an endorsement deal with Gatorade, said the growth of the women's game has been a "whirlwind" that was just a matter of time. Wilson said it's up to the players and teams to put the best product on the court with so many people watching.
"That's what continues to bring more eyes and more people and more investors, and then we end up with charter flights, and then things are going off and people are spinning off, and now we're having a great time," Wilson said.
Cloud said players will continue to try and "push boundaries" so that future generations find the league in an even better spot.
"Obviously the CBA is up after the season, so us as a league, us as a sisterhood are going to decide what our most important issues are moving forward and that's what we're going to continue to fight for," she said. "Our job is to not only make this league and continue to push this league forward but make sure that the next generation of players, they don't have to fight the same fights, that they come into a league that is well-established and ready for them."
