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.

@bobmcgann56 @GioThePodcaster ^^ what he said. GenEd at IvyTech is the way to go.

I am going to announce my retirement from watching basketball.

The current product of The NBA is simply not good. And this OKC run is a prime example of it.

There is no consistency in decisions, and in the playoffs particularly, there is a double standard.

Players like Lu Dort and Alex Caruso get away with man handling their opponents, whilst the slightest bit of contact on Shai Gilgeous Alexander gets called as a foul.

Allows them to completely shift the momentum of the game, and prevents oppositions from picking up any sort of flow.

More time is spent at the free throw line than actual hoops.

I don’t enjoy OKC. I don’t enjoy the officiating. I think this ring has a big asterisk in it, with both Nuggets and Pacers losing their 2nd best player in Game 7, whilst OKC of course go unharmed.

Adam Silver would not let ratings get worse than they are now by letting an underdog win, because that would show bad product. But the reality is, the horrendous officiating shows even worse product.

Pacers should have won Game 4, but again, awful officiating by Scott Foster didn’t allow them.

Haliburton tearing his achilles in Game 7 of the NBA finals has to be one of the worst things that’s ever happened in sports

[BrickCenter @BrickCenter_]

Lu Dort is a disgrace.

[Glen @Glenjr1988]

TJ McConnell got fouled on 3 straight buckets. No call. But they immediately blew the whistle for Shai on the other end. It’s game 7 of the finals. Call this shit fair.

[Kaitlyn @_kshaw13_]

Win it for him.
