But simply, the league loses money and is only in existence due to subsidies from the NBA.
It's supply and demand - there's no money in ticket sales, TV revenue, etc. for the WNBA. How would they pay the players any more than they do?
I think the overseas opportunities are fantastic and the way to go since they play a short, 3-4 month season here in the USA.
