I can’t fathom the lack of self-awareness and the ignorance needed to do this.
The first reply tweet says the WNBA’s average profit per player is -$347,222.22 per year. Almost $350k in losses per player per year… sounds like some shite that would be made up on the OT

Chat GPT told me the league lost an estimated $30-40 Mil last year. They just signed a >$2 Billion TV deal over the next decade or so though. The NBA leverages itself to get the WNBA inflated deals. Still can't come close to a profit. No chance they'd get a >$2bil tv deal without the NBA being attached to it somehow

Imagine if every single week you gave the bum on the corner a $20 bill, and then one day he showed up on your front lawn screaming at you demanding you give him what you owe him.

They probably need to invest in some real refs tbh

I feel like it has to be fake, how can they possibly lack the self awareness to really wear something like that?

I don't' think they are cleverly trolling. I think they honestly think they are underpaid and they should make what NBA players make. Delusion is by definition irrational.
If you had an honest sports media every single one of them would be asked over and over again something along the lines of "The WNBA loses tens of millions of dollars every single year, why do you think you deserve more money?"
Problem is the sports "media" is just a bunch of lunatic activists who support their crusade of delusion. Hell, they are the ones who probably most created it.

So first can they pay back the NBA all the money they owe to keep their dogshit league afloat?

I know this will be a firestorm topic
WNBA players currently receive just 9.3% of the leagues revenue(this includes ticket sales, merch, TV deals) for reference their male counterparts in the NBA is 50.0%.
This resulted in their salary cap being set at just 1.507 million for this year(less than half of Joe Ingles 3.634M)
In theory if they received even 40% of the leagues revenue that salary cap would be at 6.481 M.
That increase would mean roster expansion could occur, players could theoretically still make 3x their current salary and owners would still bring in 60% of the revenue.
Now to put that into perspective, that still means an entire WNBA roster would be paid less than Rob Dillingham will make in 2025-26(6.576M)
——————————
Now yes, the WNBA did lose 40 million dollars in 2024, but this is in large part due to the TV deal they are currently signed to, which in 2026 goes from roughly 45 Million annually to 200 Million annually.
This will result in essence result in the league making money over night from losing 40 to a net gain of 115M just on the TV deal alone. Even if the game and tickets sales were to stop growing, and merch stopped selling, it would still be in the green.
The current CBA would amount to players going from 1.507M in salary cap to just 4.0 M… a substantial raise however it would cost the league just 2.5 M out of that 115M TV deal profits.
If the players got 40%, that’s just 17.204M as a salary cap… a 11x raise over their current salaries, and still in the grand scheme of things less than 1 Jaden McDaniels(24.393M)
———————
The league is built on players whether you’re a CC, Aja, or Phee fan they deserve to get a bigger slice of the pie for the work they all have put in, and as the revenue grows, they should as well.
The WNBA players are not asking to be paid dollar for dollar what the NBA players make, from what I understand they just want a fair share of the revenue.
Now let’s enjoy some hoops.
