Survive without the NBA subsidizing you and see how much less you make.

They should strike, when they’ve been on strike for 4 years and no one has noticed maybe she will understand.

Her point too is that it’s a piece of the pie argument, not that the salaries should be the same. However it’s still a case of they have no leverage, so they get a smaller piece of their pie.

Just shut it down. This is ridiculous. They want a huge cut of money that they didn’t even earn.

News flash Skylar- you don’t get paid to be all star. You get paid to put asses in seats and eyes on screens. frick out of here.

I just don’t understand how everyone arguing the wnba salaries can be so financially obtuse. The organization you work for doesn’t make money, they can’t pay you what other organazations that do make a lot of money pay their talent. If everyone were clamering to watch wnba games things would be different, but that is not the case. Most sports fans barely remember the wnba even exists.

Do you know his stats? Was he an All-Star? I mean, it doesn’t matter.


Well she's right about one thing. It doesn't matter.

No one gives a shite about her stats or that she was an All-Star.

These players keep comparing apples to oranges like basketball is basketball no matter who plays it.

Hey Skylar - don't show us your stats...show us 3 things that would actually matter to increase your already subsidized salary.

1) WNBA Attendance
2) WNBA TV revenue
3) WNBA Profit

I love how she is complaining about making low 6 figures. Most college grads would kill to work some job they hate for that. She gets it for playing basketball that no one even cares about. I’d be surprised if many of those wnba teams have more exposure than the uconn women’s team.

My wife loves basketball. She can’t stand watching woman’s basketball save for maybe the NCAA title game.

No they wouldn't. No one wants to watch a majority of dykes play in underwear.

They would need some kind of minimum beauty standard (which is totally illegal nowadays, unfortunately) and then they could go with basketball skills from there. One thing they'd have over the LFL is not having to wear helmets and shoulder pads. That kinda takes away from the point of the LFL if you ask me.

Almost nothing is reported by the NBA on the WNBA's profits, revenue and sales beyond attendance figures.

What she fails to understand is that they have no pie of their own — everything they have is being given to them because of this PC bullish^t.
