Every major pro league ties salaries to revenue. The NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL all guarantee players about half of net revenues. WNBA players now have the leverage to demand the same.

The "league has always lost money" argument misses the point: past operating losses were not a loan, but an equity investment. That investment is now paying off handsomely through skyrocketing franchise values.

A new media rights deal will more than triple annual league revenue, from ~$60M to over $200M. Franchise values are soaring: the NY Liberty are now valued at $450M, the Connecticut Sun at $325M -- up nearly 200% in a year.

WNBA players currently earn less than 10% of league revenue, while NBA, NFL, and NHL players receive around 50%. There's no justification for that disparity as the WNBA grows into profitability.

The #WNBA is on the cusp of a new CBA, and it's time for player salaries to match the league's growth. A thread ⬇️.

As a team, the Indiana Fever have been more effective shooting deep threes today than they had been in recent weeks.

Non-alcoholic beer is set to become the second largest beer category in the world, following only alcoholic beer.

Bottom line: auto-termination the day the Fever hit 10 healthy regulars; no waivers; 10-day wait to come back; free to sign anywhere else immediately. �📜 #WNBA #CBA.

Q6. What if McDonald wants to stay in Indy?.A. She can sit out the 10 days, then ink a new deal, likely a veteran-minimum rest-of-season contract. Indy would have to clear cap room (e.g., waive Turner) to fit it.

Q5. Can she sign a new contract immediately after her replacement contract is terminated?.Yes, with any team but the Fever. To sign with the team that terminated her, she must wait 10 days. (Art. V §14(f)).

Q4. Once McDonald's replacement contract is terminated, must she clear waivers before the Fever re-sign her?.A. No. Replacement Contracts are exempt from waivers. (Art. V §6(b)) She'd become an Unrestricted Free Agent able to sign with any team. (Art. V §11).

Q3. So the Fever must terminate McDonald’s contract when the first injured player is cleared?.A. Correct. The second Clark/Cunningham is activated, Indy has 10 healthy non-replacements, triggering the auto-termination in §4(b).

Q2. Could Indy just waive Brianna Turner & Makayla Timpson to stay under 10 healthy regulars?.A. No. The roster floor is 11 contracts; if a team drops below it, it has 72 hrs to get back to 11. (Art. XXXIII §4).

Q1. Does McDonald’s deal end the moment Clark or Cunningham is healthy?.A. Yes. Her Emergency-Hardship “Replacement Contract shall be terminated immediately once 10 other Fever players are able to play.” (Art. VII §4(b)).

Lots of questions about what happens to Aari McDonald when Caitlin Clark or Sophie Cunningham return. Let’s clear it up with the CBA. 👇.

Add to this his manifest willingness and considerable skill in shielding his quarterback from harm, and it becomes apparent that the Chargers have indeed secured a runner fit to inspire the poets.

Even the sidelines offer no refuge from his predatory zeal; defenders attempting containment on the edge meet only humiliation and bitter regret. He carries the kind of brute strength that casually dismisses would-be tacklers like a strongman disposing of empty beer bottles.

At the merest glimmer of daylight, he erupts through creases in the line like a rocket escaping gravity's vulgar grasp. His speed in open terrain is nothing less than Homeric, leaving defenders gasping in hopeless pursuit of distant dust clouds.

Indeed, Hampton appears a veritable Hercules, a colossus of 221 pounds whose credentials border upon the mythical. Endowed with eyes sharper than a Mississippi card sharp, he discerns openings with uncanny precision.

Such a selection, extravagant and audacious in its ambition, elucidates precisely the sort of muscular, no-nonsense identity that Harbaugh and general manager Joe Hortiz now zealously endeavor to inscribe upon their offensive apparatus.
