What will disappoint me more is all the "football experts" who can't figure out this is mostly due to injuries.

NWSL is a major league in women's soccer.
Maybe Armas is a great coach.
But this is like getting someone who trains second tier heavyweight boxers to train a champion middleweight.

The same WNBA that the NBA -- which already owns more than 60% of the WNBA -- claims has never made a profit.

I argue this is because the men of the NBA "like it this way".

So I wrote:
if we look at the entire NBA history we can’t find one instance where the men only got 7% of revenue.
... or only got 15% of revenue
... or only got 30% of the revenue.
