The WNBA and its players' union met for a third consecutive day Thursday hoping to come to an agreement on a new collective bargaining agreement.They have had two marathon bargaining sessions over the last two days that both ended late at night. Union president Nneka Ogwumike said Wednesday night that players are feeling movement.At the end of the day, we want a season, she said. We want to play. Weve heard that from the other side as well. We need to see a more robust demonstration of that as we continue on in these negotiations."The two sides started Thursday's discussions around 11 a.m. EDT. The main sticking point is still revenue sharing.Eight proposals had been exchanged over the first two days and in the latest proposal, the league has increased its salary cap offer for the first year to $6.2 million up from $5.75 million in previous negotiations, a person familiar with the talks told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.Our proposal on the table is a real historic and transformational deal for these players, WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said. Huge gains and salaries, benefits, everything youre seeing, but beyond that when you see the whole thing, huge, huge benefits. ... Were proud of the deal we have on the table. I think its, again, huge gains for the players, while again, balancing that with the health of the league."Last year, the salary cap for each team was $1.5 million. Average player salaries were $120,000, and that figure stands to increase fourfold to $570,000 the first year and $850,000 by the sixth year, according to the person. The maximum salary in the first year would be more than $1.3 million and nearly $2 million by the final year.The league had said that at least a handshake agreement on a labor deal would need to be done by Tuesday to start the season as scheduled. Ogwumike said the union never saw the deadline from two days ago as a real thing.We havent ever really considered that as a timeline thats been something to prioritize on our side, because we have always been negotiating in good faith, she said.When a deal is reached in principle, the league has said it would need a few weeks to finish off the CBA. After that work is done, the expansion draft for new franchises in Portland and Toronto would be held sometime between April 1-6, according to a timetable obtained by the AP.Free agent qualifying offers, including franchise player tags, would be sent out April 7-8. Teams would then have three days to negotiate with the more than 80% of players who are free agents. The signing period would take place from April 12-18.Training camps would open the next day and the season would be able to start on May 8.But for any of that to happen, the two sides have to figure out a revenue sharing model. The unions proposal from a week ago had asked for an average of 26% of the gross revenue revenue before expenses over the course of the CBA. That would include only 25% in the first year. The league has said that number was unrealistic.The WNBAs last few proposals have offered more than 70% of net revenue, with that number going up as the league continues to grow.___AP WNBA: https://apnews.com/hub/wnba-basketball

Simon Jordan has launched a scathing attack on Martin Keown, branding the former Arsenal defender the "grand frommage of bias" following his commentary during Wednesday evening's Champions League encounter between Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen.The talkSPORT presenter took to social media to express his frustration after watching Keown defend a contentious late penalty awarded to the Gunners.Jordan wrote on X: "Oh dear Martin ffs. Did I say that old Keown lacks objectivity. F**k me backwards, he is the grand frommage of bias."The match finished 1-1, with Kai Havertz converting from the spot in the 89th minute to salvage a draw for the Premier League leaders.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayThe penalty decision has sharply divided opinion since Madueke came off the bench and went down in the area following contact with Malik Tillman.Critics have argued the Chelsea loanee exaggerated the challenge, suggesting only a slight touch on his left boot occurred, which was insufficient to bring him down.Keown, who made 422 appearances for Arsenal during his playing career, remained adamant that the officials got it right during his TNT Sports analysis.The former defender said: "For me, it was a penalty."He added: "You had to see it from different angles first but for me, that left foot definitely gets trapped in from the torso of (Tillman). There's no doubt about that."Agbonlahor was equally damning in his assessment.He declared Madueke had taken a "blatant dive" and dubbed Keown "Mr Bias" for his unwavering defence of the decision.The former Aston Villa striker remarked: "It's getting a bit silly now his bias towards Arsenal. I'm just surprised VAR didn't overturn it. "Arsenal were very lucky and boring to watch."LATEST SPORT NEWS:Arsenal score last-gasp penalty to spare blushes in Leverkusen drawPep Guardiola responds to Man City's Champions League chancesEngland star gobsmacked after Real Madrid teammate scores 'insane' hat-trick against Man CityTNT Sports presenter Lynsey Hipgrave also attempted to challenge Keown's impartiality during the broadcast.She asked: "If that was given against Arsenal though, what would you be thinking?"Keown dismissed the hypothetical, responding: "You're turning things around though. It wasn't Lynsey. It wasn't a penalty given against Arsenal."The clash between Jordan and Keown is far from unprecedented.The pair engaged in a heated on-air confrontation following Arsenal's victory over Tottenham in the north London derby.That win ended a two-match winless streak for Arteta's side, which had included a late draw against bottom-placed Wolves.During the exchange, Jordan told Keown directly: "I'm not sure you need to lecture people about how they conduct themselves, Martin, you have no objectivity. So the reason why you catch shrapnel is because you lack objectivity."He added: "You are very subjective about situations, you become very defensive of it, no-one has got any agenda against Arsenal."Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
