You can’t have team owners colluding with their cities to create deals for players to help circumvent the cap, which is exactly what’s happening here.
It's already bad enough that they use taxpayer funds to help pay for stadiums and arenas, but now you want to use them to help sponsor professional athletes as well?

ok I understand. But how is this any different than some of the things that Mark Cuban does with the nice locker rooms and facilities? I know it's not money in the pocket(because the nba doesn't need it).

Same as going to a company and telling them to sponsor everyone vs giving 1-2 players a deal
I hope they do the same with the Valks, have all these Silicon Valley companies just throw a bag that can be split amongst all of them
Because the city is acting the middleman so the actual sponsor isn't involved in the deal and therefore a violation of the salary cap rules.
The city being involved is the issue itself as you'd assume that they are doing it at the behest of the owner. If silicon companies want to do it then that's totally fine as it's not use city created sponsorships to help pay for it.
That's likely what's going to have to happen in that it's split amongst all of them or there's a hard rules created from it to prevent cities from using sponsorships to try and outbid each other.Same as going to a company and telling them to sponsor everyone vs giving 1-2 players a deal

Yup, Oracle will probably "sponsor" every player on the Valkyries as well.

Yeah he couldn't even but if he wanted, NFL Broke Boy
Yeah and there's only like 1 in the WNBA which is the problem
If people look the league's always had it out for the Aces whether it was the new facility Mark built, or Aces supporting chartered flights right along with the Liberty a few years ago. The league's always concerned about a "leg up", Vegas & NY have been trying to give their players perks
Nothing happened to Vegas either time and I doubt anything will now, but it shows there's owners that just can't compete with the Aces/Liberty so they want to keep the product in the dark ages instead of investing more or getting out the way for people with more money
