Every NBA player is going to see a new unexplained fee/tax appear on their paycheck. Do the math ~550 NBA players are going to foot the bill for the 50 million.

nah, NBA players are guaranteed to receive 51% of all revenue.

they get ~10-15% of their salaries held in escrow and if revenue falls short of expectations they take a pay cut for the year.

This is an extra EXPENSE for the league, but players are still guaranteed their 51% split of all REVENUE. league PROFITS going down doesn't change that.

I am really rooting for this league to fold

Why?

The WNBA is something I might come across on tv like 5 times per year. It’s traditionally gotten maybe 45 seconds per hour of Sportscenter. I just can’t imagine rooting for the whole league to fold because of that.

because easy times create soft men. the kind that will go online and cry about something that they don't care for being allowed to exist.

there are only about 600 other TV channels not showing WNBA for you to swap to

The NBA plans to commit $50 million over the next two years to provide full-time charter flight service for its teams during the season, the league's commissioner announced Tuesday in a move that addresses years of player safety concerns.


This is what it was supposed to say.

Thats probably at least 100k per player for the year. I bet the players would rather just get a 100k raise and fly Southwest.
