Because even if they did, no one would notice.

Because nobody cares about the WNBA? They're lucky to have jobs in the first place.

The only reason the WNBA exists is because people care about women's rights and equal access for women Basketball players to have a pro league. If the league wasn't propped up by people's good will and $$ it would fold tomorrow. It's not even close to being economically feasible on its own.

They did, they said they wanted to be paid like NBA players!
See it's funny because they're stupid...they dont know what a free market is....

Maya Moore kind of and our illustrious President also thinks so. He again, clearly does not understand basic Economics and market principles...

In his remarks, Obama quoted Lynx player Maya Moore, who said, "We’re not super rich like the guys … but money’s not everything when you’re talking about dynasties and legacies, and inspiring young women and men, and opening people’s minds."
But "money is useful, too," Obama said, "and I am for equal pay for equal work."

Even women generally don't care about WNBA. If their own gender won't even promote and support their own, how can they expect others to do so?

If only it was equal work. Let's have a champ v. champ exhibition game and see how similar the product is.

I don't think I've ever watched one full minute of WNBA while it was on TV

If the league generate similar ratings and income as the NBA I would say it'd be deserved. If they're being compensated relative to the revenue and profits they bring in, then it's fair.

Woman's rights are not an issue..
Unless you live in a third world country..

That's not the way entertainment as employment works.

I hope he realizes it's a sport and therefore entertainment. And the WNBA is 1/10 entertaining as the NBA.
I wrote a novel once, I want to get paid like Stephen King...we both wrote over 300 pages.
