These valuations are such a joke. Two years ago, they sold a 16% stake in the league for $75,000,000 and now the valuations have gone from that to this. You know those investors were going to get their money back and I can only assume the back room deals that got done to get it done.

It's completely insane the amount of energy and money put into a league of "professionals" whose all star team couldn't win a Texas high school state title.

Wow. That is nuts. Thanks - i had not seen that.
Edit: there's gotta be something fishy going on. This league needs to go.

The teams valuation is like art (or other sports teams)...not only is the value in the eyes of who wants to pay what, but in the end its a means to boost the net wealth of the owners.
Same with the mega yachts.

Are they actually worth that much? Someone appraising seems to think so.
In the end what do they do, if mens sports ball it may provide a passive income via TV and other revenue.
If women's sports ball, operational losses can be tax write offs for the corp/entity "owning" the franchise but the actual owner of said corp can claim net worth of X$.

I don't see any world where true valuation is 11-13x annual revenue. Assuming they're using the word revenue correctly, then that's only one side of the ledger.

If that's the case, they should stop taking $$ from the NBA.

I've maintained that's the quickest way to end this.

Trot out a bunch of guys out of college who didnt make the nba. Let them define as female and destroy the wnba teams.

Same story for college. Get a bunch of dudes and put them on a girls team and go destroy everyone by 50 and make the ncaa define man/woman.

Interesting link that popped with a quick "Does the NBA subsidize the WNBA" search...

https://sports.betmgm.ca/en/blog/wnba/has-wnba-ever-made-profit-bm20/

Some highlights...
Quote:

  • From its inception in 1997, the WNBA had to wait until 2010 for its first "cash-flow positive" team with the Connecticut Sun. Three teams were profitable in 2011, and six in 2013.
  • An 11-year, $2.2 billion media rights deal that began in 2026 helped push the league into profitability for the first time in its history.
  • The NBA owns 42% of the WNBA. WNBA franchise owners hold 42%, with the remaining 16% held by private investors.
  • The NBA has covered key costs, such as league operations, marketing, broadcasting infrastructure, and administrative staff.
  • Before becoming profitable in 2025, the WNBA generally lost around $10 million per year. In 2024, losses were around $40 million.
  • The losses have totaled at least $280 million since 1997.

Pro sports league team owners are able to write off 90% of the purchase price over 15 years, that's the whole value of the franchise.

If you're in a position where you're going to earn a billion over the next 15 years, being able to write off $450 million of that is incredibly attractive, hence these 'valuations'.

i had the same thought. looked up the cowboys for fun...annual rev is 1.2Bn and "google market value" is 13Bn...so, 10+x. not as far off as i would have thought. but that's all funny math, anyway.

People like Walsh want everyone to be political, and can't stand it when someone refuses. Heck, he'd rather her take leftist positions so he can use it to sell his garbage..

Clark simply choses to avoid politics, which is her right.

Probably learned the lesson for Jordan, which is to keep one's politics private.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

she's getting choked and beat on during games now and the refs are letting it go.

Why say something and piss off more people. She's best to not say anything. It will only piss off one side or another

Clark can't win no matter what she does.

Jordan was right, even republicans buy shoes.

Clark did not keep politics quiet she bent the knee expressed her white privilege and pretty much stated she voted for Harris....Sophie is the real deal here not a coward like CC.

And that annual revenue is misleading because 30% of revenue goes back to the league. So the valuation is more like 17-18x revenue when that's accounted for. It's obviously done to pump up the valuation and make regular people and suckers believe that the league is successful.

And they are requiring an expansion team to pay in $250,000,000 to even consider adding them to the league. It's a Ponzi scheme and the original investors want their money back.

In this case, revenue does not matter profit matters. The teams are losing tons of money, even after the new media rights deal

WNBA is a group of black lesbos that was getting paid to run around on the court and play WWE light. Call them "Club Lesbo". Yea, they whined about a bunch of crap, but nobody cared.

CC shows up and plays basketball. She brought in folks that wanted to watch actual basketball.

The Club Lesbo don't want actual basketball fans watching. Actual fans of actual basketball can't understand it. They don't want to watch the crap. Even NBA players call out Club Lesbo.

But Club Lesbo doesn't care. They have been paid to do their thing and want to keep doing it. Hell, a few weeks ago, they were given a week of all star "things" and they had so many kicking parties they weee too tired to play when they returned. And then whined that they didn't have enough rest.

To remind you, Club Lesbo only plays a 40 game season.

NBA should defund WNBA, start over and make the girls play actual basketball.

I actually agree with Walsh. Clark is a coward as she has the opportunity to stand up for women and punts. Typical lib.

This is the way.

As Rush used to say, "Fight absurdity with absurdity." Shine a spotlight on the WNBA's hypocrisy and lame virtue signaling.
