WNBA Players Association Proposes New CBA: Concessions on Revenue Sharing and HousingThe WNBA Players Association has presented a counteroffer to the league for a new collective bargaining agreement, proposing concessions on revenue sharing and housing to advance negotiations. The union now seeks an average of 27.5% of gross revenue, down from their initial demand of over 30%. The league, however, has countered with over 70% of net revenue for players after accounting for expenses. League officials have labeled the unions plan as unrealistic, potentially leading to significant losses for teams. Union leaders, on the other hand, believe the proposal offers substantial benefits for players in the short and long term. In terms of housing, teams would cover most players expenses initially but reduce coverage for top earners in the final two years. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has urged both parties to increase urgency, noting recent progress in direct talks between players and owners. Delays have already impacted expansion drafts and free agency, and without a deal soon, the May 8th season start may be at risk, potentially costing games, sponsorships, and fan enthusiasm.Support the show Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.Advertise on DNN [email protected] is an automated, high-level news summary based on public reporting.
