NBA: Use #LeanInTogether & join the @NBA/@WNBA to show how you lean in for gender equality.


The @NBA and @WNBA family are joining @LeanInOrg to show that when men lean in for equality, we all win! Pass it on. #LeanInTogether


Brad Meltzer: Don't just read "girl books" to girls and "boy books" to boys. In for equality? Pass it on – #LeanInTogether




I hate this shite.

the whole thing implies to me that women need men more than men need women.

If NBA and WNBA are the basis for equality then I don't agree haha.

Since NBA isnt gender specific we could just call it the NBA.

Correct. People tend to forget when they talk about the struggles of inequality (whether it be race, gender, or religion) that it usually requires a white christian man to get it done. Ironic isn't it.

I don't even know WTF "gender equality" means.

Does it mean women should be in the NBA, and men in the WNBA?

Sounds like bad salary negotiating to me. But regarding the NBA and WNBA, they will never be paid the same because the WNBA will never have the viewing demand that the NBA has. If they ever think they will they are sorely mistaken.

Maybe we should start engineering DNA to take away all physical advantages men have over women and we can all be one big society of little bitches.

Doesn't the NBA basically own and subsidize the WNBA to keep it afloat? I mean there's no way those franchises make money

Is there open tryouts for the #WNBA?

I'm pretty sure I can make a squad. #Equality. That would be against their principles for them to balk at a roster spot if my skills say I deserve one right?

Hopefully you're joking. They have to earn the same money to get paid the same. A league that nobody really cares about and I highly doubt is profitable is NOT going to pay the same as a very successful league. Thanks for playing though.
