WNBA players get a bigger portion of league revenue of than NBA players
It was discussed in another thread about union power, and I said the NBA players union gets a lot more like creature comfort wins in negotiations but does a terrible job with "our slice of the pie."
There's also a lot of non-standardized "missing" revenue, where the revenue is in one pocket of the owner, but not the pocket being counted for "WNBA revenue" in message board discussions.
Best example is arena signage/sponsorships. There's $10m worth of ad sales in the arena during a WNBA game. But it's also there during NBA games, concerts or any other event in the arena. Where's that revenue counted?
A lot of "The WNBA hemorrhages cash" arguments are like saying the Apple Genius Bar hemorrhages cash.
