On what attracted players to Unrivaled
Collier: “Everyone feels those pain points. We’re all going through the same things. We are offering the highest average salary in women’s sports. We’re offering you equity in the league where we can have equity in something that we’re playing in. You get to stay at home in the States….You get to do it surrounded by the best equipment, the best people and going against the best players in the world.”
