WNBA players make a big statement "pay us what you owe us"
- Thread starter THE 101
- Start date
Huh? I said THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE GREEN FOR 1 YEAR, I mentioned nothing about the length of the TV deal the NBA/WNBA, which is 11 years
What are you talking about, did you even read my post. Ran to quote me so you can dap fish
Embarrassing
Basic economics tells you they are going to be making hundreds of millions in profit per year for the next decade. This fight is about future earnings.

You mean "Basic Finance", stop trying to sound smart. You are essentially banking on the WNBA's Pro Forma to make "hundreds of millions in profit per year" or whatever that means. If I'm the NBA, the 20 plus years they have been subsidizing the WNBA does not automatically mean they are going to pay the WNBA players more for merely 1 year of being in the green

Because it’s not a loan and it’s only 15 million dollars. 15 million dollars compared to the amount of money that are new gaining through little girls watching more basketball which Adam said I think it was on Jeff Teague podcast is a great deal. Also the nba literally owns 50% of the league they are the parent company so the wnba wouldn’t be paying anything back

In the past when the league was trash I said they don't deserve shyt. With a new TV deal, they are well within their "rights" to start making noise. Get that new deal negotiated and get that money now. They won't be getting 51% like NBA players, and they have to be careful going on strike because they don't have leverage (their viewership numbers are garbage). Still they might be able to get a good 20% if they're lucky and that's better than 9.

That’s like Amazon starting a new company under then saying hey now that your profitable even tho we own 50% of you and started you and got new Costumers because of you pay us back. Yall sound stupid.

It's quite clear now that many WNBA players are underpaid. Look at the new TV deal. Look at increase in attendance. Look at all the new sponsorship deals the league has.
This is NOT because of the marketing because the marketing for the league still sucks. This is all off the backs of the players. Someone like Angel Reese shouldn't have to rely on her own sponsor deals to make what she makes. It's nice for her, she has nothing to worry about financially but the league should be coming up off some of that newfound revenue.

Still waiting on proof that the NBA "made that money back and then some" when it comes to the WNBA
Now ya'll are comparing Amazon to the WNBA. Damn, ya'll are down bad
I first learned about revenue and profit in economics. And I'm banking on the fact that the league is expanding to 18 teams (13 right now) by 2030 and the 2.2 BILLION DOLLAR TV DEAL.
Why are you sucking owner dikk so hard right now? It's very obvious the owners are making money hand over fist right now despite the past. Billionaires are fukking everyone over in this country, you think these women should just lay down and join the fray?

Wearing this after their league lost 50 million in its best season ever is wild

It’s not gonna be operating at a loss anymore idiot and the nba keep it operating at a loss because it’s a long term investment and helps grow the NBA.

Uh...That's exactly how business works. If Amazon started a company that had negative ROI for 20 years, when they suddenly start making money, the investors have to get paid back. They may not take it all at once (that would be dumb, ala owners taking 100% of the TV deal money) and they obviously have to leave the "new company" (ala the WNBA) with enough profit to keep it growing (say players get 20% of TV deal money instead of the 9.3% now). But every company in the world that invests in another has to get ROI. There is no "you did it on your own". Especially in the case of the WNBA that took heaps of NBA money to even be on the radar.
