ESPN’s Holly Rowe Forced To Delete ‘X’ Post After Forgetting To Edit Out Something That We Weren’t Supposed To See [PHOTO]

She took way too long, though…

ESPN reporter Holly Rowe made an embarrassing mistake as part of her WNBA reporting this week.

She was forced to delete a tweet after exposing a message from a source which as supposed to remain confidential.

The WNBA and the Players Association have been negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement ahead of what they hope will be an on-schedule start to next season.

Important meetings continue this week in New York, with Rowe providing updates.

A respected women’s basketball reporter, Rowe has been with ESPN for over 30 years. But, perhaps in her haste to get the news out this week, she forgot to cut part of a message from her source.

“Just so you have on background – no attribution to me or the league… here are some updates,” it read.

Rowe included the above in her tweet. She left it online for over an hour before realizing her mistake and deleting it. Based on the tweet, it sounds like Rowe was relaying info she received from a source within the WNBA’s front office.

We have been living in the era of the screenshot for some time. Deleting a post after five minutes would be way too slow, let alone a whole hour.

One Reporter Could Be Enjoying Holly Rowe’s Blunder

If you recall, Rowe was one of the loudest critics after Lynn Jones’ interaction with Jaguars coach Liam Coen during the NFL playoffs.

Jones is probably loving this.

As for the update, Rowe revealed that the WNBA’s newest proposal includes a $ 6.2 million salary cap, up from $1.5 million last season.

WNBA players have also been offered a starting salary of $570k in their first year. This would rise to $850k in their sixth year.

The proposal also offers a salary close to $2 million for any max deals exceeding $1.3 million.

The 2026 season is scheduled to begin on May 8.

The league previously told the WNBPA that it would have to agree to terms by March 10 to start the season on time.

Every missed game will cost them money from television deals, sponsorships and other sources of revenue.
