WNBA players call league's current proposal 'unsustainable,' stay 'committed to the fight' for better CBA
The WNBA players union and league officials had a face-to-face meeting on Thursday in Indianapolis regarding a new collective bargaining agreement. However, the meeting did not result in the two sides getting any closer to a new deal. "The WNBA's response to our proposals fails to address the priorities we've voiced from the day we opted out," said a statement issued by the WNBPA, "a transformational CBA that delivers our rightful share of the business that we've built, improves working conditions, and ensures the success we create lifts both today's players and the generation that follow." "We've told the League and teams exactly why their proposal falls so short," the statement continued. "This business is booming — media rights, ratings, revenue, team valuations, expansion fees, attendance, and ticket sales — are all up in historic fashion. "But shortchanging the working women who make this business possible stalls growth. The only thing more unsustainable than the current system is pretending it can go on forever." The statement ended by saying "We are committed to the fight" and that the players were "committed to returning to the negotiating table." This story will be updated.

Jesse Watters Ridicules Barack Obama for Not Being a ‘Real' Man After Joining Michelle's Podcast: ‘Boring Guy'
Jesse Watters ridiculed Barack Obama on Thursday for appearing on Michelle's 'IMO' podcast.

He also said the the episode made Obama come off as 'boring.' More from TheWrap Jesse Watters Ridicules Barack Obama for Not Being a 'Real' Man After Joining Michelle's Podcast: 'Boring Guy' | Video 'General Hospital' Star Tristan Rogers Remains Hopeful After Cancer Diagnosis NBC News Sees 12% Web Traffic Boost as NYT, WaPo Visitors Decline | Exclusive 'Captain Planet' Live-Action TV Series in the Works at Netflix 'This is why he puts himself on his wife's podcast – which real men don't do,' Watters said on the Fox News program. 'He ships all these jobs to China and then wonders why men are looking around like 'what are we supposed to do now.' So they're angry, they voted Trump, and then the next thing you know they say we're waging war on women, and men are toxic and the patriarchy's holding everybody down. So the men just leave the party.' He continued later: 'He's a boring guy, and the same thing that's happening with the rest of the Democratic party. Without all the lights, camera, action and the teleprompters, you sit a guy down with his 'wife' and it's just a boring, nerdy conversation that no one can relate to.' Watters: This is why he puts himself on his wife's podcast — which real men don't do — Acyn (@Acyn) July 17, 2025 Watters threw 'wife' in quotes when referring to Michelle Obama likely because the former president and first lady have been deep in the divorce rumor mill for weeks now. It is something the couple touched on right as the latest 'IMO' episode began. 'She took me back,' Barack Obama joked as he entered the studio and co-host Craig Robinson asked if they still liked each other. 'It was touch and go for a while.' Watters: You sit a guy down with his 'wife' — Acyn (@Acyn) July 17, 2025 Michelle Obama added that a lot of people seem to think their relationship is only good if they're seen together and when they are doing their own thing 'folks think we're divorced.' 'There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I have thought about quitting on my man,' she said. 'And we've had some really hard times. We've had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures. I've become a better person because of the man I'm married to.' Barack and Michelle Obama have been married since 1992. You can watch 'The Five' segments in the video above.

'Breakfast Club' blows up over whether Democrats 'lied' about Biden decline
Radio host Charlamagne tha God clashed Thursday with former CNN commentator Angela Rye over whether former President Joe Biden suffers from dementia and if the alleged cover-up of his decline cost Democrats the election. Charlamagne asked his progressive guest what she thought about Democrats who "all of a sudden have the courage to tell the truth," referencing former Biden press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's party switch and CNN anchor Jake Tapper's book "Original Sin" which detailed how Biden's inner circle covered up his limitations in office. "Why all of a sudden do they have the courage to speak truth to power when they didn't do that two to three years ago?" he asked on "The Breakfast Club." "I'm trying to figure out why you think it's 'all of a sudden,'" Rye replied. "It definitely is all of a sudden. C'mon, Angela Rye!" Charlamagne shot back. Rye went on to suggest that exposé books are nothing new and Tapper's is just "the latest" examples. But Charlamagne continued to press his guest, arguing that the scandal over Biden's health likely led to the party's election loss. "Why tell us after it's too late? Why didn't they say these things two years ago when they could have alerted the American people and the American people could have been like, 'You know what? Something is wrong with him. Maybe y'all shouldn't run a different candidate.' Then we probably wouldn't be in this situation," he insisted. "I don't know if I believe that," Rye replied. "I think that the lie was sexier to people than the truth and they went with the lie," she added, referring to Trump winning the November election. "Hold on," Charlamagne pushed back. "So the lie wasn't Joe Biden is okay?" Charlamagne recounted how Rye blew up at "Breakfast Club" co-host DJ Envy in 2023 after he suggested Biden had dementia. Rye explained she was offended because her grandmother was suffering from dementia. "He still doesn't have dementia. He does not have dementia," she said of Biden. Rye went on to defend Jean-Pierre and suggested she was treated poorly in the White House by colleagues because of her race. "Now as for what Karine is doing and Jake, invite them on the show and ask them. I don't know. But what I can tell you is Karine had her own experience of being regularly challenged, her brilliance being challenged, by White men who she was supposed to be sharing-," Rye said. "She had to lie for that White man every - all the time," Charlamagne cut in. Rye said she wasn't talking about Biden but about "staff people as well" in the White House. "When you are being challenged by your peers rather than covered because they don't want you in a role, that may jade you just a little bit. You might be a little frustrated by that. So, I mean, I get it," she said. Jean-Pierre was one of his most outspoken allies who defended his mental and physical fitness for office going back to 2022. She announced in June that she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent. She also revealed an upcoming book, "Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines." Rye is one of several liberal media figures pushing the idea that President Donald Trump and the Republicans are planning to steal the 2026 midterm election. A spokesperson for Biden did not return Fox News Digital's request for comment.
