“For decades, Silver has complained publicly about the W’s lack of popularity & profitability, all while doing very little to invest in its success. Usually, people who own businesses talk them up publicly…instead the NBA has… treated the league as a burden, essentially tanking its own asset.“

Engelbert deserves the criticism she is getting. But Adam Silver and the NBA are the biggest obstacle in WNBA labor fights. My latest for @cbssports.bsky.social:

“As the WNBA has grown over the past 5 years, it could have tried to establish some independence from the NBA. Instead, the two have become even more intertwined…it is alarming that more and more power over the WNBA's future keeps going into the hands of a league that has spent decades devaluing it.

To Phee’s point: “sustainability” as a buzzword has done a lot of covering for lack of investment (and also active harm to players) across women’s sports over the years.
