Professional sports leagues aren't immune to lockouts, as we've seen them in the NFL, the NHL, the NBA and MLB over the past couple of decades. Could the WNBA be next?
It's possible. On Monday, the WNBA Players' Association announced that they were opting out of their Collective Bargaining Agreement with the league.
The current CBA, which was agreed on in 2020, featured an opt-out clause following the 2024 season, and the league's players are utilizing that. They will be negotiating for higher salaries, better accommodations and much more. The WNBA is coming off a record season in 2024, with high television ratings and increased attendance, but the league is still not in great shape revenue wise.

The league $40 million and the players want more money? đ
A team’s thugs are supposed to retaliate when the other team roughs up their star.
No.....CC did not go to Barcelona .....tell me you don’t hit every clickbait story out there ....
Not true.

As a child observing the 60s, I remember that those stinky hippie chicks were quiet attractive once you scrubbed them up a bit. Not like today's moo cow protesters.
This is going to get good.
The “league” had it’s best year ever, and STILL lost money! The NBA owners who subsidize the circus were already getting fed-up, and losing money this year was probably the final straw.
Sure enough, the “girls” are going to strike because they want more. More salary, and get this, ownership!
I hope the owners give them the entire “league” and let them try to make a buck. Pretty soon ESPN is going to stop subsidizing the “league” with premium coverage and top-of-the-page headlines, and when that happens, hopefully the farce will end.
“It’s possible. On Monday, the WNBA Players’ Association announced that they were opting out of their Collective Bargaining Agreement with the league.”
We can only DREAM that it’s true.
Not if they're dating each other (which is the case in the WNBA).
A man has barricaded himself inside his house; however, he is not armed and nobody is paying any attention to him.
Yeah, like there's no abuse in lesbo relations.
What if the WNBA had a “lockout” and nobody came?
I mean, this falls into the who cares category really.
Reminds me of when the toll collectors in Massachusetts threatened to go on strike. The governor back then said “Fine, have at it, we’ll just suspend the tolls”.
Needless to say, the toll collectors recanted on their strike plans.
In the WNBA you can lick your opponent.
Took the words right outta my mouth!
My next words were âwho caresâ! đ¤Ł
Referees, what referees?!
WNBA deserves everything theyâre about to get!
They killed the goose that laid the golden egg!
Jealous RACISTS get what they deserve!!
If the lockout goes through, don’t be surprised to see a few of the players get an addadicktome procedure and play in the NBA.
