Message: [QUOTE="southofnorth, post: 3140484, member: 9132"] I don’t see how this is a “sexist” thread; it’s merely pointing out the idea that players do not [I]have[/I] to play overseas if they don’t desire to. As many have pointed out, players choose to cash in overseas because the WNBA is not paying them their full earning potential like the NBA does, but as also has been pointed out, the WNBA is not a financial juggernaut like the NBA. “During the Regular Season and playoffs, players will be provided with the following options with respect to housing in the home cities of their WNBA Teams: (i) staying in housing provided by the Team, or (ii) receiving a monthly housing stipend equal to the average monthly cost of a furnished one bedroom apartment in the market where the Team plays its home games, as determined by data published by the local chamber of commerce (or similar organization) in each such market. Neither the WNBA nor any Team may impose restrictions as to who may visit players in the housing referred to in this Section 1(a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall excuse a player from complying with any reasonable training rules promulgated by the WNBA or a Team or with any reasonable occupancy regulations established by the owners or lessors (or their designees) of such housing. Any player who elects to stay in housing provided by the Team may, upon reasonable advance notice and subject to availability, elect to upgrade her unit to a larger unit, provided that such player shall pay to the Team the difference between the cost of the Team-provided housing and the larger unit.” -According to their current CBA. This illustrates that they do [B]NOT [/B]have to pay for their apartment unless they would like to upgrade, in which case they still get a stipend on top of their salary towards housing. [/QUOTE]
