Just watch the Red Rocks Bill Burr special. He explains it all about the WNBA. Blames it all on women for not supporting women.

Facts don’t matter to the woke.

That’s what I don’t understand about these people, where do they think this money will come from?

Lebron makes $20M per year so all the women should as well. Will it just magically appear out of nowhere?

I would almost bet that number is an absolute lie. Paid attendance maybe, but not actual.

There’s no way WNBA games are drawing almost seven thousand people a night.

The OP title is correct though, WNBA pay is definitely not equitable or has equity. Because equity is defined as what is “fair and impartial.” And since the WNBA literally loses money, they should be paid nothing and the league should fold. Yet people like Griner are making multiple hundred thousand dollars, despite the league losing money. That’s definitely not equitable.
