There are more women than men in this country. If women gave a shite about the WNBA then they would make as much as the men.

WNBA players don’t get paid because WOMEN don’t watch or attend games.

This is a woman problem. Has nothing to do with me.

How can anyone not see that getting paid $220k to pay 36 games with a bouncy ball is total oppression?

Factual statistics: List ticket price for the NBA ($89 USD) compared to the WNBA ($17.42 USD) Average viewership for the NBA (2019 NBA Finals 15.14 million) compared to the WNBA (In 2018: 231,000 viewers) Average attendance for the NBA (18,000) compared to the WNBA (6,768).


Facts don’t matter to the woke.

Unicorn farts and fairy dust will make it all work out.

There are people in this country right now who yearn for a government that would force club owners to pay the women equal regardless of profits and also force citizens to attend games and "support" the WNBA. It happened in Soviet Russia and it could happen here.

In other shocking WNBA news, it is being reported that there's a heterosexual WNBA player on one of the teams.

There are people actually advocating for exactly this

If the nba pulls the plug the wnba is done
Then let them fund their own league and see how that goes

I bet the ratings for the little league World Series are better than wnba

That's probably paid attendance, from companies that are forced into buying blocks of tickets, or else.

ironic that capitalism is running its course with the WNBA(except for the subsidization by the NBA,) and Whiner flees to a commie country for justice

If we reversed the roles and half of the men in the NBA were gay and all the women in the WNBA we're straight, would the pay gap be the same?

Nobody really even watches the wnba.

They don’t get paid because they can’t bring in any money.

If the league can’t generate profit, the players are not valuable
