WNBA Strike Looms as Revenue Share Remains Sticking Point, Sophie Cunningham Warns
WNBA star Sophie Cunningham has revealed that the league is unwilling to negotiate on revenue sharing, a key sticking point in the ongoing CBA negotiations with the WNBPA. With the March 10 deadline looming, a strike is a real possibility as the players’ union seeks a larger share of the league’s gross revenue.
While the WNBA’s latest proposal includes significant increases to the salary cap and player salaries, the fundamental disagreement over revenue distribution remains unresolved, leading to a stalemate.
