Hopefully this leads to the league folding or changing altogether sooner.

NBAPA is probably thrilled this is coming off the bottom line to pay players making the league minimum.

The WNBA continually shows that they don't care about marketability factoring into anything they do.

When you don't have to grow the game to exist, your business model is like a candle in the wind.

how many WNBA melts are we going to have before the season begins. She took less money to help the team.

A league that loses money is giving players millions a year

Makes no sense

Can we just rename it the Federal Government Basketball Association?

I'm not a fan of the WNBA but 42% of the WNBA owners are billionaires and 13 of th 18 owners are also part or full owners of NBA franchises.

This is play money for most of the franchise owners.

The league averaged losing 10 million per season the past decade. The owners probably make that back from stadium revenue (quite a few own their stadiums as well as the teams) They just signed a tv deal worth 200 million dollars per year. Their previous tv deal was 60 million per year. I think theyll be ok.
