WNBA players are pushing for higher salaries, better travel accommodations and more attention.

Somehow, Harrison Barnes got caught in the crosshairs.

Skylar Diggins, via Wealthsimple:

quote:

I’m the highest paid player on the Dallas Wings, and my salary is in the low six figures. [Harrison Barnes, the highest paid player on the Dallas Mavericks, made $24 million last season.] He’s definitely younger than me. Do you know his stats? Was he an All-Star? I mean, it doesn’t matter. But last year, I was First Team All-WNBA, which only goes to five players. I was also a WNBA All-Star for the third time.

@ these tone deaf WNBA players. All they are doing is pushing to have their struggling league go out of business with their constant salary comparisons with NBA players

Are these girls really dumb enough to compare their salaries to real NBA players or are they just lobbying for money they know they don’t actually deserve?

Hopefully, the government intervenes and raises taxes so these WNBA players can get paid more.

I mean, the fact that they think they deserve to make salaries comparable to the NBA is laughable. With that being said, who the frick doesn't want a raise in this world? Do you go ask your boss for a pay cut when your company struggles?

I like how Yahoo used that title like people know who the frick Skylar Diggins is. I'm sure they assumed, correctly, that saying "WNBA player Skyler Diggins" would undermine her entire argument.

Doesn't their salary come from the revenue of the NBA because the WNBA doesn't generate revenue?

Yes. And not a single WNBA game would show up on ESPN if it wasn't forced into the NBA deal.

from 9th grade thru 12th, I think two boys teams where I was could make a squad that would win the wnba.
Height. 6 9. 6 9. 6 8 serious rebounding.
Two real point guards, one of whom.played for the Cavs.
That's just me.

Does not count college as I was blessed to witness louie Dampier, Conley, tommy kron and Riley romp and stomp at UK.

Please just cancel the WNBA. I don’t ever even accidentally put their games on.

So Harrison Barnes sucks.

And yet, the number of people that know who Harrison Barnes is far higher than the number of people that know who skylar diggins is.
