Women's National Basketball Players Association
- ... that the Women's National Basketball Players Association was the first trade union for professional women athletes? Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/16/sports/basketball/wnba-loeffler-protest-kneeling.html "They began organizing the first labor union of professional female athletes."
Created by Valereee (talk). Self-nominated at 20:17, 5 July 2021 (UTC).
New enough (was within deadline when nominated, despite being listed as stale now), long enough, and well sourced. QPQ done. Interesting hook, within length rules. The hook claim is primary-sourced but I think that's adequate for its verification. Earwig found a little bit of copying or close paraphrasing ("to put Black Lives Matter and Say Her Name slogans on warmup gear and opening weekend [team] uniforms") but much of that is set phrases and it's difficult to see how to reword to be less similar; I think this is de minimis. Good to go. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:02, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
