00:00This was kind of like a first draft and so both sides are going to come with the highest of what they, you know, are, I guess their lowest or highest of what we're looking for. And so again, I think it's just a good meeting ground because when you're going back and forth with contracts with lawyers, it's like texting a lot can get lost in translation to hear face to face. I think they understood even more like what we're asking for. And so hopefully that is exemplified in the next round of contracts.
00:26Obviously women's basketball is skyrocketing and it's important for us to get what we want now, but not just now, but for the future as well.
00:33And it's, it's, it's really nice to have vets that may not be playing for 10 more years, but they are speaking for us because they know how important it is right now.
00:42It was great for us to show as a collective, like as players, how important that meeting was to us.
00:49It was like over 40 people in that room and I was like, I mean, historic for CBA negotiations, but I don't think there definitely wasn't an a point, a point where we agreed and we were coming to meet sides.
01:03I think there's a lot more that we want as players and that we're going to try to demand.
01:09And we don't want to sound ungrateful for all the stuff that the WNBA provides, but we think as much as we sacrifice our bodies, our minds, our time, our effort, we just feel like, like we, we play a huge part in this as well.
01:23And we feel like we should be rewarded for that.
01:25And we feel like there's some things that we deserve as players who are a huge part of this league.
