I look forward to the day when these women get paid a whole lot more.  in relation to the NBA and other leagues, they should.  Yet, economics, I just dont see it.  Crowds have never grown like I personally hoped, TV needs to have higher numbers.

History.  The WBL, WABA, WBA, ABL and others.  all folded.  I believe I remember the star of the ABL New England Blizzard  getting about 120-130K in 1998-9 season before the league folded.  they tried to pay the players better and were about 10 million in the red before they started their final season and folded around December 23 1998.

There are so many different sports and other entertainment out there trying to get our entertainment dollars then 20-30 years ago.  If the league can figure out to get a bigger piece of that entertainment pie dollar in our pockets, I hope it will increase the pockets of these players.

Until then, I am thankful we have a league that has last 20 years in the US.  No other league has come close and I hope it will continue.  I do expect more teams to go by the way side over time and hope there will be people that have enough money and love for wbb that will invest in a team.
