Jemele Hill criticizes the conversation around WNBA salaries, arguing that the league's players have long fought for fair compensation and should not be compared to the NBA. She points out the benefits WNBA players receive and suggests that lower salaries lead many to play overseas for additional income. Hill calls out the misogyny in criticizing WNBA players and urges support for the league through merchandise, attendance, and viewership.

Jemele Hill Addresses Spotify Exit Rumors and Joe Rogan Comparisons.

Jemele Hill denies that she demanded Joe Rogan-level money from Spotify, which is reportedly negotiating her exit from the platform.

Jemele Hill, the award-winning journalist and former sportscaster, is reportedly negotiating her exit from Spotify, which exclusively distributes her podcast "Jemele Hill Is Unbothered" and her Unbothered Network of shows. While negotiations are ongoing, it seems likely that the separation will result in the end of her show and network at Spotify. This comes after Spotify had talked up Hill so much in 2021, and after she'd sounded quite committed to what she was building there last November.

Portnoy argued that Reese “followed” Clark after the game was over to taunt her, and denied that the issue is about race. Reese’s coach, Kim Mulkey, defended her player, saying that trash-talk is part of who she is as a player and that Reese is not going to apologize.
