By the way, there's a women's tournament game going on right now where one of the teams scored a whopping 1 point in the second quarter. Women's basketball is atrocious and unwatchable.

To be fair, Sue's shoes is fire! She's just waiting for Nike and Under Armour to start the bidding war.

Holy frick, a not-for-profit charity pays Sue Bird $215,000 a year.

The outrage should lie in that stat.

But SJWs are too fricking stupid to understand economics.

I wish the WNBA would pay Sue Bird LeBron's salary and other players so then the league will just go away after declaring for bankruptcy and all those lovers of this meme will say, wait what happened?

Capitalism happened.

it's just a stupid argument period because no one watches womens sports anywhere in the world

Female basketball players can earn good money in Russia if they are good. Diana Taurasi made $1.5 million in 2015. That said, that's because 1) the salaries are subsidized by governments overseas and 2) female basketball is more popular since they don't have as strong of male leagues.


I'm pretty sure the salaries are more because the majority of the teams are money laundering opportunities. I don't know how much the government has to do with it. Same thing with turkey.

Welcome to corporate America.

“Who the frick is sue bird?”

I mean, $37.5M for 4 months of work is pretty dumb

LeBron is severely underpaid and only makes that little due to max salaries in the NBA CBA

Someone should change her picture to just a stock image photo of a woman and continue to circulate the meme bc no one would be any wiser. Would be great to point out to some feminist that wasn’t even her then ask if lebron has been switched would they know that wasn’t him

How much money is she bringing into the sport?



Or, to be more precise, how much money is that sport losing and how much does the NBA (and government, TV, etc.) have to subsidize her so that she can play at all?

Yes, that really happened. I just looked it up, and in the second quarter, Oregon outscored South Dakota 9-1.

9-1. In a full quarter.

They were also comparing top earners in women’s soccer in the US to men in European leagues. It’s a false equivalency. Someone like Messi is going to make a shite ton more than any male counterparts in the MLS too.




your average plant operator makes more than the average MLS player.

Isn't the average like $50k?
