Sophie Cunningham complains about charter flights and disparity
The WNBA has provided players with charter flights to games. Previously they used to travel on commercial flights. But there's still a lot of work to do in this regard.
Phoenix Mercury star Sophie Cunnigham said that her team didn't receive a charter for their match in Las Vegas against the Aces. She remarked that there's a disparity between teams getting these premium flights.
"There's a lot of things that need to be adjusted. Our bags and some of our people can't fly with us 'cause our charter is too small, while other teams get big planes," she said.
Cunningham highlighted that the treatment is not equal for every team in the league. Nevertheless, she didn't forget to express her gratitude for the positive change in the league.
