The WNBA makes about $XXX million a year, but it’s losing $XX million because it spends more than it earns on things like players, travel, and other costs. If every WNBA player got paid the NBA’s lowest salary of $XXX million (instead of their current average of $147,745), the league would need to spend about $XXX million just on players—that’s almost all the money it makes! There wouldn’t be enough left for other expenses, and since the WNBA doesn’t make nearly as much money as the NBA (which earns over $XX billion), it can’t afford to pay everyone that much without going broke unless it gets a ton more money from TV deals or sponsors, which it doesn’t have right now.
