Aces Star Jackie Young Says Players Want ‘What We Deserve’ In New WNBA CBA
Aces’ Jackie Young
On New WNBA CBA …
We Want ‘What We Deserve’

The WNBA Collective Bargaining Agreement is set to expire in a matter of days … and Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young tells TMZ Sports that while there are plenty of issues still left to hammer out — the biggest comes down to the almighty dollar.
We spoke with Young this week just after the Aces won their third championship in the last four seasons … and we asked what the mindset is as the players and the league work toward a new CBA.
Young said the “biggest thing” for her and other players is simple — “we get what we deserve.”
“We’re the best in the world,” she told us while working a ceremonial shift at a Las Vegas Raising Cane’s, “and so just giving us what we deserve.”
Naturally, we asked what she thinks that is. While she said there were a few ways to go with that … one of the major issues at play is $$$.
“Obviously, pay is a big one,” she said. “But I think the biggest thing, like, is the revenue share.”
“So once we get that to a certain point, I think they’ll be in a better spot.”
Only time will tell if the two sides can avoid a lockout. As you know … the players and the current commissioner, Cathy Engelbert, aren’t on the best of terms these days. Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier even recently said the W has “the worst leadership in the world.”
New CBA or not, Young and the Aces are still celebrating the heck out of their latest WNBA title … and are slated to have their parade through Sin City later Friday evening.
With the massive information dump of the Epstein Files from the DOJ Friday, we’re getting a close look at the various high-powered figures who surrounded the disgraced financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein … including former presidents.
Bill Clinton is seen in a few new pics … he’s reclining in a hot tub with another person, whose face is obscured by a black box. Another pic shows the former president sitting in what appears to be the cabin of an airplane, with a young-looking female sitting on his lap with her arm around his shoulder.
As you know, the U.S. Dept. of Justice began releasing the long-awaited Epstein Files on Friday, the final day of a 30-day period the agency was compelled by Congress to produce all materials related to the investigation of Epstein — with victims’ identities and details redacted.
Jeffrey Epstein was convicted in 2008 on state charges in Florida of soliciting the prostitution of a minor in a plea deal and served a year in prison. In 2019, he was arrested on federal charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors. While awaiting trial in New York City, he killed himself in his cell.
Donald Trump, Clinton and Bill Gates are among many high-profile politicians, entertainers, business titans, academics and other powerful international figures known to have been close associates of Epstein. Trump downplayed the importance of releasing the files this year — despite making campaign promises to open up the investigation — even saying he didn’t want support from anyone who was demanding more about the case.
Never-before-seen photos show late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein in his element … snuggling up to a very young-looking female on a sofa.
The images are from the Epstein Files being released by the U.S. Department of Justice … and there are several photos showing Epstein cozying up to an unidentified female on a couch … it’s unclear if she’s underage.
Epstein has his arms around her, and they are horizontal, side by side on a couch … wearing clothes. Her face has been redacted to protect her identity, indicating the government considers her a victim.
There are 10 photos of the convicted pedo and this young female … and Epstein looks like he’s enjoying himself.

TMZ is digging through the thousands of documents released Friday … and these are some of the most disgusting images we’ve seen so far … but it may just be the tip of the iceberg.
We’ve seen lots of other creepy Epstein photos leading up to Friday’s document dump, but this may be the creepiest yet.
