00:00Kaitlyn Clark, Sophie Cunningham become latest WNBA stars to heap pressure on Commissioner Kathy Engelbert, delusional leader.

00:10Kaitlyn Clark and Sophie Cunningham joined the criticism against WNBA Commissioner Kathy Engelbert, sparked by Minnesota Lynx's Nafisa Collier.

00:18On September 30th, Collier, a five-time NBA All-Star and 2024 WNBA Defensive Player of the Year,

00:25shared a statement accusing Engelbert of problematic remarks about star players like Clark.

00:31Following her statement, Engelbert faced criticism from sports journalists and league players, including Clark and Cunningham.

00:38I just think they're failing us as a league, definitely failing us as players, Cunningham said.

00:43Everything that Nafisa said, we all feel that way, and we're all going to back her, and I think that's pretty strong coming from her.

00:51I think a lot of us have been saying that, but when it comes from someone of that caliber of a player that we're being serious?

00:57I think it's pretty shameful that she always makes it about her, when it should have nothing to do with her, she added.

01:03On Instagram, Sophie Cunningham also commented on a post saying,

01:07People only know Kathy Engelbert because of C. Clark. She's the most delusional leader our league has seen.

01:14Kaitlyn Clark, arguably the biggest star the sport has ever had, also put her weight behind Collier's comments.

01:20I have great respect for Collier, and I think she made a lot of very valid points, Clark said.

01:25What people need to understand is that we need great leadership in this time across all levels.

01:31This is straight up the most important moment in this league's history, where this league has been around for 25 plus years,

01:38and this is a moment we have to capitalize on.

01:41Despite mounting pressure from both inside and outside the league, Engelbert has not resigned from her position as league commissioner.
