These women are going to push this to where, inevitably, some grandstanding progressive congressman will start pushing legislation “to level the playing fields”. The NBA players will then wake up and pull the plug on the WNBA and end this foolishness.

There are people in this country right now who yearn for a government that would force club owners to pay the women equal regardless of profits and also force citizens to attend games and "support" the WNBA. It happened in Soviet Russia and it could happen here.

They won't because the NBA has a CBA negotiated by a union. If the legislators want to move from virtue signaling and symbolic bills into actual meaningful legislation, they are going to have to unwind a lot of the labor laws they promote so much.

That's why this isn't a real push for this other than soundbites.

This is a "American society is terrible b/c THEY don't support women's sports" and not "the NBA is terrible because they make more money" argument.
