The WNBA is coming off of its most-popular season in league history with the arrival of Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and the rest of the 2024 rookie class. It is still going to lose a lot of money and NBA owners are reportedly furious with the continued financial struggles.
They are tired of paying to prop someone else up.
According to the New York Post, the WNBA will lost $40 million this season. This is the 26th-straight year where it will fail to turn a profit. Never before has the professional women’s basketball league made a single dollar since it first came to exist in the spring of 1996.
The NBA owns approximately 60% of its female counterpart. That number is actually closer to 75% when the owners’ personal stakes are factored into the equation.
NBA team owners want to see a return on their investment into the WNBA. They are frustrated.
To be fair, the WNBA was projected to lose $50 million in 2024. It did $10 million better than expected — in a year that saw unprecedented viewership, attendance and popularity — and… still lost money.
The WNBA can’t turn a profit.

Tribal infighting.
As usual.
They had a money-maker.
They got rid of her real quick.
Ain’t nobody got time fo’ dat.
The WNBA’s charter flight program is estimated to cost around $25 million per year for the next two seasons
With all the wiggling, giggling and jiggling Harris and Tiny Timmy Tampon are doing, the NBA broads don’t stand a chance. Their only hope is to sign Tater Swuft and learn the lyrics to the Black Super Bowl National Anthem.
Wait, you’re telling me that there’s a professional basketball league where the players are women?
Maybe they should start endorsing merchandise: Airhead Jordans.
They need some trans players.

Truth is it isn’t popular enough to stand on its own particularly at the salaries WNBA players are demanding. That’s too ‘non-woke’ to say it out loud. The NBA created this, popularized it (Tried to!) so they’re stuck with it. They can’t out and out shut it down unless they have a ‘plausible’ scapegoat to blame. (Note plausible from a political PR standpoint to blame it on!)
Would be interesting to see a cash flow balance sheet of revenues and expenses.
Those ‘independent’ WNBA femmes need the men after all to prop up ‘a league of their own’. Then again who wants to spend good $ watching Democrat Dykes with attitudes bouncing basketballs and each other.
I helped. You’re welcome.
Simple solution: Pay them all minimum wage...
The WNBA All-Star game should be the ladies’ best players, vs a random selection of Philadelphia boys JV players.
If I were an owner, I’d point out that I already send money to an organization that hemorrhages money to the tune of trillions and sell my team.
Imagine how much it would crater if white Americans stopped owning, coaching, playing, and watching the WNBA. Give the league to the race that feels it’s theirs.
The players should go on strike and demand double their salary.
