The idea that WNBA players should just be “glad they’re collecting a paycheck” isn’t really accurate—while the league isn’t as profitable as the NBA and does still lose money, WNBA players actually receive a much smaller percentage of revenue than NBA players do, which is why they’re pushing for fairer revenue sharing rather than just bigger base salaries.
