Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 5347532, member: 26"] I have a question - there seems to be a myth that is being perpetuated by I'm not sure who. I can't find the article, but it was from ESPN and it talked about Unrivaled and AU saying that they were "rival leagues to the WNBA". How? I would understand if they were trying to encroach on the WNBA season and pull players from the WNBA, but it seems like the W should LOVE Unrivaled - great pay, keeps the players in the US, smaller court, hopefully less chance for injuries, and no overlap. What am I missing? I was reading that Saudi Arabia is trying to start a basketball league to compete against the NBA - funding it from the Sovereign Wealth Fund - many seem to be pooh-poohing it, but never underestimate SA's ability to throw billions at something if they want it enough. I wonder if they will try for a women's basketball league. That would seem to be a bigger rival to the W, especially if they choose to have their league the same calendar season as the W... [/QUOTE]
