Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 2790507, member: 6911"] Are you certain that "virtually all of them lose money"? Are you certain about that? Can you include a link to leagues' financials? All we saw was one article with an anecdote about a rich owner. It could be that many other teams are viable. As with the NBA, it could be that some lose money and others are profitable. It could also be that the league as a whole, including revenue sharing, is doing very well. As with the WNBA, we don't have the numbers. And that is the basis for Kelsey Plum's question. She wants the league to open its books and show the players, who are the ones earning those tens of millions for the league, exactly how much they're generating. I suspect that the league won't do that because they know that they're making good money overall, and the last thing they want to do is pay the players more. [/QUOTE]
