Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4223218, member: 3834"] What’s BS is the fact that what they (The Liberty) did was expressly forbidden in the CBA and was adjudged to be a competitive advantage. You can certainly argue that having to fly coach is uncomfortable for the players (self-evidently true) but not that one team with deep pockets should be allowed to gain an advantage due to their owner’s willingness to spend his money in violation of the agreement that all the other teams (presumably) are following. The WNBA is already hanging on by a thread! Even (especially) if you got rid of the CBA and allowed owners to spend as much as they wished on their own team, it would simply make things worse. Soon you would have three or four “super teams” while the others would gradually fade away and the league would fold. I’m not sure what the answer is but it’s certainly not creating a more tilted playing field that allows certain teams to do things others cannot afford. I mean, it is a business after all. Perhaps the players shouldn’t vote for a CBA that does not address something that is supposedly such a high priority. Or perhaps, perhaps the travel thing is mostly being pushed by a vocal minority and it is simply not as important to a large group of WNBA players as it is being portrayed. That would explain the CBA vote, at least. [/QUOTE]
