The WNBA has countered a recent collective bargaining agreement proposal from its Players’ Association after the league quickly announced its displeasure with the financials suggested by the players.
Earlier this week, the WNBPA took its revenue-sharing ask slightly down. Players asked for an average of 27.5% of gross revenue, down from a previously reported proposal of 30%. The league submitted a CBA proposal two weeks ago that included players receiving 70% of net revenue (which comes after expenses are deducted) and a $5.65 million salary cap. According to The Athletic, the WNBA’s newest counterproposal keeps the previous revenue figures offered to players the same.
