NEW YORK -- The WNBA and its players' union signed a labor agreement Friday, assuring that the struggling league's seventh season will go forward

The collective bargaining agreement, signed about 3 a.m., includes a free agency system -- the first in women's professional sports -- and covers four seasons, with a league option for a fifth, the league and the union said.

NBA commissioner David Stern had threatened to cancel the WNBA's season had a deal not been reached.

"We went down to the wire,'' WNBA president Val Ackerman said.

I would rather watch the WNBA than the NBA. Then again, I would rather watch a car rust than the NBA.
