Has the WBNA ever turned a profit? As far as I know, it has been operated in severe red for every year of it's existence.
Actually...
Stern said the 13-team women's league, the WNBA, was faring better than the NBA these days.
"The NBA is far less profitable than the WNBA," he said. We're losing a lot of money amongst a large number of teams. We're budgeting the WNBA to break even this year."
He believes the NBA's best days are still ahead, although many teams, such as the Sacramento Kings and Memphis Grizzlies, are expected to lose millions of dollars this year.

I guess when your players make 50k a year it's easier to break even.
