      Though this may hold SOME weight in certain avenues it’s just the fact that the WNBA is boring and the players(mostly owners) are too stubborn to lower the rims. Even then lady’s just aren’t as athletic as their male counter parts which inherently will gather less attention. But combat sports and table or track sports are different. Both genders are able to do them without changes or stuff like that. Some people men included would happily watch the WUFC over a men’s basketball game. WNBA is just not it is all

      They need to gain female viewers and fans and stop expecting men to pick up the tab for them. You could lower the rim to 5 ft and no one would give a single shit. Women don’t watch at the same levels men watch sports and therefore any bullshit changes you make to the sport is only to convince men to watch. That’s the problem. If women don’t want to support and spend their money on female sports than why bitch and moan about a gap and expect men to close the gap or cater to men to make the sport worth watching? It’s so easy to understand.

    4 years ago, when my son was in 8th grade his gold level AAU team played the local HS girls Varsity team who went to the state semi-finals here in California. They played half the quarters with the full sized ball and half with the women's ball. The 8th grade boys won the standard clock game 114 to 17. This includes the fact that the boys were no longer allowed to fast break after the first quarter. They also basically goofed around and loosened the D in the second half, where the girls scored nearly all of their 17 points.

    It's not up to the male players of the nba to be on the hook for the women's pay gap.
    The current nba players are getting paid because of the revenue that they bring in.
    Based on equality, wnba players should also want their pay based on the revenue that they bring in.

      Well said, except I would change "pay gap" to "profit margins". The WNBA players want equal revenue shares, but this isn't possible and is a bit misleading because profit and revenue are very different. The NBA makes so much revenue that despite their players getting ~50% of it, the owners still profit. The wnba doesn't have more money to give because it isn't even making a profit. It's all about the profit margin.

That's 60 million that could employ another 30-60 players every year and feed their family, and they would've actually earned it not have it gifted to them...

  • @JakeKoenig

    Nobody needs science to explain the basketball pay gap. Just a rudimentary understanding of economics. Something like this:
    - WNBA players are at approximately the same skill and athleticism level as middle school boys.
    - Nobody wants to watch middle school boys play basketball except their parents.
    - Therefore, nobody wants to watch the WNBA.
    - If nobody watches, there's no money. You're lucky this joke of a league even exists at all. (Yay feminism! 🤡)
    There, I explained it non-scientifically.

    I played some ball in High School; I remember a class and teammate in particular, his name is{was} Michael Silva. He had the height to dunk the ball but couldn't get the jump that he needed to do so. The coach saw Michael's potential and desire and desided to focus on his jumping. After a few months of very hard work on Michael's part, he finally Dunked the ball during an important game against an important high school rival. All of us who were there watching this perticular game were static!
    Michael Silva finally did what He wanted to do in a game, Dunk!!

    This league is the living definition of unnecessary stubbornness to try and prove a point. They all try to make it seem like a lower rim would be some sexist disrespect, but none of them realize or admit that in every sport where physical size and body proportions are a serious part of the sport womens is shorter/closer/smaller. Shaq had a point about volleyball nets, but as a former male volleyball player the hight difference is closer to 6.5 or 7 inches, not .5
    The height differences are present in everything from volleyball to track and field, from softball to golf. Its not sexist either, its scientific. Women on average will be shorter than men so the heights are adjusted for the differences.
    And what makes the argument even more illogical is they play with a smaller ball because they have smaller hands, they have a closer three point line to account for strength differences, so why not play on a lower rim to account for height differences?
