Each team plays 16 road games in the 2017 season. If you figure players will be on the road for two days for each road game then each player will get about $2,700 in meal money. Players with 5 years of service get their own hotel room for road games while players with less than 5 years service have to share hotel rooms.


Also they have a $78 meal plan for road trips

I was just a kid when it started but I do remember a "fundamental based classic style" narrative that was attached to it in its inception.

Why does the WNBA exist

So ESPN's Sportscenter can fill out their WTop10 plays on Wednesday. 3 of the 10 were WNBA players doing lay-ups, another was one player tripping, getting up, then making a jump shot.

I was mesmerized. <--------(I was employing sarcasm here, just in case that was not apparent, seeing as how lay-ups and tripping followed by a jump shot are not normally considered occurrences whereby the average spectator would be mesmerized)

1. NBA willing to lose money on it, viewing it as an "investment" to grow interest in basketball.

2. Like almost all women's sports, there's a heavy social engineering component.

The only major women's sports that exists on their own merit are tennis and probably soccer and golf.

I like watching lesbians do things, but awkwardly playing basketball isn't one of them.
