The WNBA players association opts out of the CBA. Edit:Deal is done

[CEO of Morgan Industries]

This nikka.
It is just a placeholder noun. If you want to be the cussing police here, keep the same energy all over.

This post is dumb as fukk, no offense. Why would I keep the same energy for things that aren't the same?

 

[Cladyclad]

Who's advising them? Harvey Birdman?

I do think they shouldn't be flying commercial and other shyt like that because that is ridiculous. But don't overplay your hand.

The gas alone probably cost more than a team generates all year lol

They're exactly the same.

 

[NatiboyB]

fukk around and go on strike and lose what fans they do have.

Hoes with no leverage thinking they can force the owners hand In negotiations

It'd be a better option fiscally to fold the entire league than to give them anything they want.

They do hold some leverage. I doubt the NBA wants to be in the news about allowing the female NBA league to close down.

Really, nikka?

I always prefered "bytches", personally.

But seriously, a chartered flight shouldn't be hard. That's a little ridiculous for a professional team. This ain't the old days.

Two women's pro soccer leagues came and died since the WNBA got started. If it is that profitable, someone else can try to start one up and see what happens.

Maybe , maybe they think they can play the woman card and the optics of how refusing their demands would look .


But they’re playing with fire.

They're betting that the touchy-feely, "we empower everybody" type of commish that Adam Silver is trying to be can't afford to tell a bunch of (mostly black) women to deal with that pay scale without looking bad.

They're also betting that the owners want to look like they care about empowering women and will pay extra to do so.

It's not a bad bet.

^ what he said . Still think they’re underestimating how much idgaf them folks have in them .

Nah.

 

[ALonelyDad]

They deserve a bigger share but at the same time nba has made no profit from WNBA. I heard Rachel Nichols saying nba needs to advertise it more. All I see nba doing is advertising this product, not sure what more they can do. People just don’t watch/support this.

A 12 million dollar loss last season alone.

thats the angle they're gonna go for.

 

[the cac mamba]

the problem is that...they are NOT VICTIMS. their product doesn't generate interest and revenue :mindblownj: how can grown women not know how that works? what is this fukkin bullshyt?

it's not a conspiracy
