Over the weekend, a WNBA game between the Phoenix Mercury and Washington Mystics triggered fierce debate when play stopped after Kahleah Copper’s wig fell off during the third quarter. The Mercury promptly called a timeout and sent Cooper to the locker room for a quick wardrobe fix.
Tensions grew when Mercury players demanded the removal of a player reportedly mocking Cooper’s mishap. Security removed the fan during the game, and the incident quickly caused backlash online.
With the WNBA’s current salary structure under scrutiny, the incident intensified conversations about compensation and professionalism. As players push for better pay under the new collective bargaining agreement, critics ask whether reactions like these reflect broader cultural issues in the league.

The incident sparked fresh criticism as fans linked the league’s conduct to ongoing debates about WNBA players’ salary expectations
A fan questions, “What is the equivalent in nba terms?“
Another one wonders, “why would you be wearing a wig in a basketball game???“
One commented, “This is exactly why they’ll never get paid like NBA players.“
One WNBA fan wrote, “Pay them what they are worth!“
Here, someone questions ironically, “Wait, was Coldplay there?!“
One posted, “The announcer did a great job with a pile of ….“
Someone left, “What a clown show league.”
Another one stated, “How do people watch this. Imagine going to a WNBA game.“
The controversy continues to stir debate as the WNBA pushes toward higher pay and stronger fan engagement. Recently, players wore t-shirts to the All-Star game that read “pay us what you owe us.”
