she has a point with how much fewer a percentage of the revenues that they get compared to the NBA.


Facilities cost, advertising and such probably takes up a larger percentage of WNBAs revenues than it does the NBAs, so not sure if that argument is valid. Either way, they could go find other jobs if that one is not suitable for them.

i wonder where the NBAs subsidization comes into this. i wonder if they could theoretically focus on increased wages. i doubt theyd ever do it but they already are the only reason the league exists

Yep. The WNBA's fixed costs are much likely a larger % of revenue than that of the NBA.
