Per Yahoo Sports, “For context WNBA has never turned a profit in its 28-year history. While pre-2023 annual losses hovered around $10 million, 2024 saw that number balloon to $50 million, even as league revenues grew to over $200 million.
It’s a bitter truth. The NBA, which owns approximately 60% of the WNBA, has been subsidizing those losses since the league’s inception in 1997. The WNBA’s operational existence depends on that support.”
They should allow the players to share in the profits of the league. That will be am eye opener for them
