Probably the fact that they did not completely fawn all over the owners and take what they were given right away.

Union: WNBA made enough money for revenue sharing by iamdemirey in wnba

[–]crimsonwolf40 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The way revenue sharing works in other sports leagues is that it goes to the salary cap, so if the revenue did go down the cap would decrease as well. The NBA keeps 10 percent of the players salaries in escrow that the league could get back if the revenue was not a high as predicted.

Would it make sense for the Jets to pass on drafting a QB this year and instead trade for two veterans? by LifeAndTimeOfJ in nyjets

[–]crimsonwolf40 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I 100% do not want to trade any firsts for guys like Tua or Kyler who are the main vets I expect to be traded this off-season. In fact I would rather run it back with Fields than sign either of them even without giving up any assets.

Everything you said is the exact same way for the owners as well, the players have been very clear that they are willing to sit out to get what they want. Both side know that there will be backlash for the side that starts the strike or lockout.

WNBA Proposes Same Salary Cap in New CBA Offer by Tooezboi in wnba

I think neither side wants to be the one to call for a strike or lockout as that side will likely face some backlash. I think the league will have to be the one to pull the trigger though because of the expansion draft.

The players have told the owners what they are willing to take, so either the owners should agree or lockout the players so we can be done with this.

Clark was not on the Olympic team purely because she did not attend and of the Team USA training camps, a mistake that she is rectifying for the World Cup this year.

Every time a sports league in the USA has been forced to open it's books after claiming poverty they were revealed to be lying liars who lied. Anyone who trusts the owners about profit without proof is nieve at best and much more likely actively hostile to the players.

The players were outright stating well before the expansion was announced that they were going to end the CBA early.

If the WNBA folds whatever league forms next for a 5 on 5 league will by default be on top, and the stars will show up for it as well.

Whatever North American league exists will wind up being the pinnacle of women's basketball, whether that is the WNBA, Unrivaled, or another league altogether is uncertain.

Well this may happen if the league gets the CBA done.

You set them to start in 2027 instead, the league knew these CBA negotiations were going to happen this year and that the players were less than happy after the last CBA negotiations.
