They play far fewer regular season games than the men ina league that loses money. How sad, they have to go play another season somewhere to end up playing closer to as many games as the men and make more money.
And here's the truth about Russia:

And here's the truth about Russia:

WHY RUSSIAN SALARIES ARE SO HIGH
Russian sports leagues have been able to pay top players these high salaries because some of the teams are funded by government municipalities while others are owned by oligarchs who care more about winning championships and trophies than being profitable. There are stories of Russian owners putting up players in luxury accommodations and taking them on shopping sprees and buying them expensive gifts in addition to paying their salaries.
In 2015, Taurasi’s team, UMMC Ekaterinburg — the same one Griner plays for — paid her to skip the WNBA season and rest.
“We had to go to a communist country to get paid like capitalists, which is so backward to everything that was in the history books in sixth grade,” Taurasi said a few years ago.
The Russian league has a completely different financial structure from the WNBA, where there is a salary cap, players’ union and collective bargaining agreement.

FIFY, and it is even worse in the EPL.

Russia isn’t communist, it’s totalitarian.
Secondly, wouldn’t this prove that you’re not worth what you think as it takes communist market principles (ie failed economics) to pay you what you think you’re worth?

If they got paid like capitalists, they’d get paid nothing because the WNBA would have went belly up shortly after it started.

I know I’ve said this many times, sometimes frivolously, but this is the dumbest fricking quote I have ever read. Jim Valvano lookin arse is this dumb too?

She's right. A capitalist society should have no use for the WNBA. And yet here we are having to sit through sports center "highlights" of layups and 20 foot set shots.
