Very significant, if correct, that the CBA will guarantee a share of gross revenue. While there's still a way to go before they get in the ballpark of what NBA, MLB, and NFL players get, this is a big accomplishment. The players fought hard for revenue sharing based on gross, not net.

My early take on the #WNBPA #WNBA contracts is it's early for takes.
"The average revenue share would be nearly 20% across the length of the deal, though it remains unclear exactly what that revenue share system -- a main flashpoint in negotiations between the WNBA and the Women's National Basketball Players Association -- ultimately looks like."
The expiring contract guaranteed a share of net revenue after big and convoluted deductions. The NBPA, MLBPA and NFLPA get around 50% gross. Getting a healthy share of *gross* is hugely important, because net is more subject to outside forces and creative accounting.
Proud of the players for big gains and hope the 20% is of gross, no deductions or qualifications.
