Well then I don’t care about his argument. I typically always argue for players making the large amounts that they make but from a business standpoint. Your value should be reflected by the amount of money that you generate for your employer. Is he trying to say that owners should just go out of pocket and pay WNBA players as much as NBA players just because they’re women? Seems patronizing to me.

It’s kind of like when you hear people bitch about how little teachers make compared to athletes and actors. They just don’t get it.

Why doesn’t Jeremy Lin make as much money as Lebron James? Why doesn’t Jordy Cullota and T Bob Hebert make as much money as Bomani Jones?

Equality for everyone!!! Yaaaaaayyyyy.

Why isn't anyone arguing for players in the D-league to get paid the same amount as NBA players?

Because it's all about how much money the league makes. They don't make less just because they're women. Why is this so hard to understand?

Why doesn’t he walk in to his bosses office at ESPN and tell them to give the WNBA billions of dollars a year for their broadcast rights and the players will then make millions?

The only redeeming quality of the league was in the beginning when they had colors/names (Kings/Monarchs, Hornets/Buzz) corresponding to their NBA affiliate but that has mostly gone the wayside.

So who exactly should be paying these WNBA players the multimillion dollar salaries? Where will this money come from?

I bet Bomani gets paid more than some of his fellow female ESPN reporters.

They have that

AND pay.

If everybody has equal rights to pay, why does he have no problem with Aaron Rodgers getting paid more than Case Keemun?

He feels NFL and NBA should do away with cheerleaders because it objectifies them

Thus removing jobs from women who love what they’re doing. Smart.

Well that’s just stupid.

his little sidekick chimed in and said NBA is treating WNBA like a minor league baseball team.

The minor league team is actually a benefit to the team. All a WNBA team does is good PR and costs the team money

Yeah the comparison to a minor league team doesn’t make sense, but then again nothing he said made any sense.
