Why though? They're a business like any other and a struggling one at that.

It’s not necessarily run by women. It’s not like because it’s the W…NBA that it’s all women all the time. Plus, women can be profit-focused too and not really care about the players’ personal well-being. The NFL is run by people who don’t really seem to care that their sport badly damages all the players’ brains and shortens their lifespans. These people run a business and having players miss an entire season+ to have a baby is bad for business. The players union had to specifically negotiate this issue into their CBA, in fact.

They may understand it full well, but it may still not fit into their business plan as well as trading her for someone else. Both can be true.
