re: WNBA #1 Pick upset about gender pay gap between NBA and WNBA

This does have to do with genetics. The NBA, filled with men players who are extremely more athletic makes the NBA very fun and exciting to watch. There is a huge demand for the game because of this.
The WNBA filled with female athletes who are shorter, slower, and overall less athletic generally makes for a much more boring game. Hence the demand is very low.
Genetics is what drives the supply and demand for the game. There is nothing the WNBA could ever do from a business standpoint to make the game as popular as the NBA game. That is of no fault to the players at all. It is just genetics. As I said before, it is not fair. But most things in life are not fair. That's just the way it is.

They could change the court dimensions/rim height to make the gameplay more similar to the men's game.
Wouldn't be as popular, but it'd be a start.
