I bet they could attract a lot of viewers if they had a really great star player. But, last I heard, all the really good players want to play in Europe. For some reason.
Is women’s basketball becoming more popular?
If so, eventually, these teams ought to start turning a profit and then the owners will make some money.
And eventually they could make some profits by selling these WNBA franchises.
I didn’t realize the NBA had been subsidizing the WNBA for so many years. Maybe those operating losses are a tax write off somehow?
Or the NBA owners want to show how enlightened they are by supporting women’s basketball, even though it cost them money?
They do t want endless losses.
At some point t they will need to downsize or find another draw to make some cash.
Caitlin Clark should get her own private jet. Everyone else should continue to fly commercial.
Now they're losing more money because everyone gets to fly on a charter flight.

The average nba player gets $10M per year.
There are 15 players per team.
That is $150M per team just in payroll.
The average wnba player gets $70K per year.
There are 12 players per team.
That’s $840,000 in payroll.
Where is all the money going and how are they losing $40M?

Bring out the high school boys teams to play the eventual league champions.
As it should be...
It the Black Lesbo Employment Act .
Nothing more .
There’s no market for it and the salary demands don’t support a possitive buisness case.
And people wonder why the WNBA women don’t make the big bucks
