Message: [QUOTE="Cuango, post: 4319262, member: 3834"] Has their financial situation changed? Last I heard, they were losing millions every year. An infusion of cash ( which is what I heard happened) isn’t going to suddenly make them profitable. Salaries are trending upward as is media coverage. While still a pittance compared to NBA salaries, $228,000 is far more than most Americans can dream of making. Perhaps, they should show a little gratitude and focus on improved play, less politics and making silly, delusional, and self-aggrandizing comments about NBA players and instead work on improving attendance across the board! That, is the only plausible road to 7 figure salaries. I wish them well (clearly the sports world is better off with a thriving professional women’s league), but ultimately, profitability is the only way for them to achieve their dreams of generational wealth, and NBA level paychecks. One can only imagine how George Nika’s, Bob Cousy, and even Bird and Magic must feel when they see players that couldn’t (in some cases) carry their jockstrap, making $25,000,000 per season but someone had to build the league up into the financial behemoth it is today. Stewart, Wilson, Jones, Loyd etc are the stepping stones that [B]may[/B] lead to that kind of wealth for future players. Frustrating, but that is their current reality I’m afraid! [/QUOTE]
