Message: [QUOTE="amb3096, post: 4309316, member: 11629"] ABL had 2 seasons, then went bankrupt a few months into the 3rd season and the show was over. They were doing what a lot of the WNBA backers were asking for, which was high salaries and a non-summer schedule. But they didn't have the bottomless pockets of the NBA to bail them out. The bolded statement needs to be broadcast to all of the players in the league. And the sacrifice is not just accepting the lower pay, but it is also foregoing overseas commitments and doing everything they can to promote the WNBA brand in their communities during the offseason. They should be a league ambassador all year round and need to be proactive in building up the fanbase. If they aren't willing to do this, then just go get your check overseas, consider yourself blessed to be making such good money playing a sport that you love, and stop complaining that you only have a couple hundred thousand in the bank instead of millions.
