Crazy that they’re complaining about money, while they’re getting 6 figures a year to play 32 games. They get to play their favorite sport for an excellent salary, and they barely have to play any games. They’re incredibly lucky to be making any money
They are complaining about their pay, and they have never been profitable in 28 years. The NBA foots the bills for the league. They lose about 10 million a year.
Bingo ...Only married men pay for things they don't really like---and ironically the party that they're buying said thing for, can't even name 3 wnba players.
Plus the culture of the WNBA sucks. No one wants to support an organization that is spoon fed money because they can’t fustian themselves. No one wants to support a buncha dike-ish women who hate their own country. They need an attitude adjustment. I’d love to get paid half a million for playing a sport I love.
As compared to other women. Wait until the first player willing to go trans decides they would rather be the biggest fish in a pond full of minnows than a minnow in pond of sharks.
WNBA players don't realize how right that Bill Burr was when he said that women would rather pay to watch women tear each other down in reality shows, and buy their products. Than they would pay to watch women come together as a team, to accomplish a common goal. That's why the Kardashians are making billions.
Women likes to watch men compete because strong men provides the best offspring and therefore men compete. Women on the other hand has never competed with each other like men does , men compete to propagate, women compete to...whatever.
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
@@ENLIL100 Women's softball and volleyball are far more exciting to watch because of the way that they compete against each other. Yet they don't get paid at all, to have their own leagues, how messed up is that?
The NBA is stuck with them. And they will never cut off the WNBA because if they do that league will scream racism and sexism and blah blah blah. The reasons why the WNBA is not doing well are obvious yet their player's don't wanna hear it.
I sat down and watched a WNBA game recently. 5 minutes into the game I felt like I was watching a freshman boys high school game. I forced myself to watch all of it. It was brutal! Never again!
For real like honestly getting paid $200,000 for 30 games is pretty nice especially when I know my companies losing money and then if you’re a bench warmer cool, you’re getting paid a quick 100,000 to do nothing but practice. Honestly it’s ridiculous this would be a completely different story if they were actually having people coming to their games and it was a good product but they talk about revenue dude there is no revenue to share 😂
Because society has told them there equal they wanna be men make it basketball for women they try to play it like men lower the hoop is a great suggestion
As a father of 2 daughters that love basketball I can honestly say that if these WNBA players seriously cared about aspiring young female players, they would stop crying for equality like victims and start pushing for equity. This would begin with the WNBA lowering the rim to 9ft. This is no different than having smaller balls for smaller hands…
Also 75% of the players are masculine LGBT chicks. Who wants watch a bunch of women chest bumping, wearing baggy clothes and pretending to be men? The girls also get their attitudes from 🍆 envy. Their pride gets in the way.
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.
Imagine a restaurant serving only one kind of dish that sells poorly even after 10 years, and then refuse to change the menu because it would "take time to adjust".
Wnba players claiming to be underpaid is no different than me complaining I'm an underpaid golfer, even though I'm a 20 handicapper whom zero people pay to watch. They literally don't understand they are entertainers.
Dude I'd totally pay to watch you play 18. I'll pay the green fees and cart fees and hack up the course with you. I'm probably a 25 handicap so I won't slow you down much.
No way; lowering the rim would throw everything off...it's 10 feet at every level from the very start. Shrink the ball another inch in circumference instead.
That's not it. The current players don't want that, because they'll have to relearn. One of the players even admitted this. And they know they can't relearn, because their intelligence level is... low.
@JohnSmith-zw8vp Nah, it's an ego/pride thing. They're pro athletes, meaning the best women in the world at what they do, and people are telling them they're still not good enough. Their response is basically an "F U", which is honestly understandable, but not at all constructive.
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.
I tune into professional sports to see athletes do things I can’t do. I dunked for the first time at age 15. I played higher level basketball than the wnba. I have no real reason to watch subpar athletes unless it is my own kids in Junior high
They need to play European style or Princeton bball.. No one wants to see Ellen Iverson or girls dunk, you know those dunks are gone be ugly af too.. Make great passes smart plays great shooting... Don't play like men
Notice the wording she uses. "I don't GET a dime." Rather than "I don't EARN a dime." WNBA has been subsidized since day one and has never made a net profit.
Being able to dunk is not a skill. The NBA is full of flying clowns that do not know how to play basketball. Drafted on potential rather than talent. Its trash.

If the WNBA always wants to complain about the NBA, then the NBA should just withdraw all financial support from the WNBA, and let them run 100% of their own basketball league. That way they can determine their own fate, and distribute the revenue any way they see fit. I'm not sure how long they would last given that they have been losing money for the past 26 years.
I'm sure they wouldn't last half a WNBA season before they're playing for free in a public park, and it won't be in the most popular public park either
Women need to support the WNBA. The league also need to add more teams, increase the roster sizes, guarantee rookie contracts. Get better TV deals. Market the players better.
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.
Women want equality, but they won't protest for plumbers, construction workers, electricians to make their workforce 50% female. WNBA is basically a welfare league eating off the crumbs of a spare couple million to support their league provided by the NBA
I'm glad you made this vid because now with Clark boosting ratings and popularity, they'll try and convince us that the wnba wasn't trash for 25 years.
I might actually be pissed if I was a marginal NBA player on the fringes and these lunatics were not only taking my money but potentially a roster spot from every team so the NBA could promote 'diversity'. 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...
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!!
I think those were just people on the street, going about their lives. The ""parade""😂, was just passing by at that time. Admittedly there was the ONE guy, "wooooo!"
When I saw the clip for the first time I thought the shadows from the trees were 3 groups of crowds and thought wow that's rough... Then i squinted my eyes and realised those were shadows and there was only one group of people in the middle and there was about 6 of them, god.

I just hate that people jump to the dumbest conclusions when there is a disparity between 2 people or 2 groups. Generally, there are hundreds of reasons that lead to 2 people having differences in their lives. Its generally not because everyone hates women or are racist or bigoted.
@@altonpaige2388because it's a matter of public record. The wnba has never made a profit in any year, ever. In fact they lose roughly $10 million each season as a league.
That’s not how money works. WNBA generates revenue-Not that much, but it does generate income. The problem is it also has a lot of expenses, and the expenses dramatically exceed the revenue it generates.
There is no wage gap. A "wage gap" implies that different employees/workers/contractors of the same or similar employer are paid differently to do the same job despite having equal skills, qualifications, and experience, and producing similar results.
I remember hearing about Griner and thinking to myself "Oh yeah, the WNBA is a thing." I had a co-worker mention that the WNBA actually loses money on their games and I naturally I asked how they can stay afloat if they're always losing money. And he just said, "The NBA."
I live in Phoenix. My distain for Britney Greiner is such that you'd have to pay me at minimum $50 an hour to watch The Mercury. I would rather watch pro bowling or Olympic Curling than ANY WNBA game.
Ever seen Shaqtin A Fool? The NBA is full of low IQ flying clowns that were drafted on athletic ability and potential rather than talent. Its a lot harder to score in places like Europe and Australia not just because of the fact that the NBA has streetball style rules that encourage scoring - its also because the low IQ flying clowns of the NBA are less skilled than international players. These are facts. The typical NBA fan is a casual fan that yes - cares about dunks as if its the early 90s or something. I am embarrassed for you people.
Im just 6 2 and im pretty fucking sure i have a better chance scoring 1 point than her. There is nothing wrong about being confident, but sometimes you have to be realistic. If grown men playing in tha highest lvl of basketball cant stop cousins, what makes her think she could do it? I mean, cmon.
How weird... You are the first person who I've randomly read comments for on two differnt videos. Yesterday, I saw a comment you made on a Kevin Samuels video. Lol
This is similar to an actor getting pissed for not getting as much money as another actor who had a more successful film. If you can’t bring in the dough then you can’t make the bread.😂
All I can think of is George on Seinfeld when they're writing the pilot and only get offered 13k between them... "Ted Danson gets at least 60k an episode!"😂😂😂
"Why can't we have the same revenue sharing as the men?" Nate the Lawyer did a breakdown of this a little while back, and his conclusion was that if the women split the revenue with the league they would have to pay tens of thousands of dollars every year.
@@timothytaylor9835women aren’t the majority demographic for the sports audience tho. Women do dominate the retail industry tho, it’s why ads for nearly every product (including male products) are aimed at women.
Even saying there's a "wage gap" concedes too much. Male and female players do not play for the same organisation. The idea of a wage gap is incoherent in these circumstances. There's no reason why anyone should expect to earn the same as someone else just because they work the same profession. There isn't a 'wage gap' between chefs who work at michelin starred restaurants and chefs who work at Olive Garden.
@@AdamB34 You do understand the point, don't you? The WNBA is willing to use a different size ball - to accommodate a physical difference between men and women, but not willing to consider (or even try) lower hoop?
How can your argument be about wanting to make the same share of revenue when you lose money each year? Do they not understand that logically it means they would be the ones having to pay to play, or is it just an act?
End of the day, you're entertainers. Lower the hoop, make it bigger, use a smaller ball, NBA should just make the changes. If the players want to give up six figures and stay home, I'm sure you can find others that will be happy to take their places. The regular season (2023) runs 5/19-9/10. 16 weeks, 32 games, 100 grand. Nice summer job.
Jesus Christ. Why would an And1 fan like yourself even care? You arent going to watch it unless everyone else is right? Ha. Are you still watching And1 though? HA. Ya like dunks do ya? Clown.
@@standardofexcellence adult females are nothing more than old children. They lack the size, strength, logic, analytical skill and coordination of men.
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?
Lower the rim for the NBA and watch the shooting percentages drop. These women have been playing with a regular height rim for years so you cant just lower in to get a few dunk highlights. Only idiots care about dunks anyway. ANd yeah - most NBA fans are %$%$ing idiots.
I really don't see this league going anywhere and I believe it deserves to die and seeing the NBA where it's at, it's not getting any better either. The 90's was the golden era for men's basketball and to me for a while it's been over, let alone any hope for the WNBA.
Lol, they love to complain and ask for donations but are not willing to work on solutions.

not being able to dunk at 6'10" is wild, im 6'4" and i've dunked before, tho not consistently
That coach is a savage. Selling his house and betting all his money against his own player 😂😂
I actually feel bad for that team who had no one show up to their parade. That is beyond embarrassing, it’s soul crushing.
If the WNBA always wants to complain about the NBA, then the NBA should just withdraw all financial support from the WNBA, and let them run 100% of their own basketball league. That way they can determine their own fate, and distribute the revenue any way they see fit. I'm not sure how long they would last given that they have been losing money for the past 26 years.
Hell yeah let them go broke so we don't to hear their bullshit
I'm sure they wouldn't last half a WNBA season before they're playing for free in a public park, and it won't be in the most popular public park either
They wouldn't know how to😂.
Great comment!😊
Women need to support the WNBA. The league also need to add more teams, increase the roster sizes, guarantee rookie contracts. Get better TV deals. Market the players better.
When you are a self sufficient league, then you could start pushing for more pay.
I even have friends who like to tune in and watch NBA games all the way from Malawi over here; that's how popular it is
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.
Olimpic rowers put a lot of time into being competitive but there isnt any money
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.
Women want equality, but they won't protest for plumbers, construction workers, electricians to make their workforce 50% female. WNBA is basically a welfare league eating off the crumbs of a spare couple million to support their league provided by the NBA
I'm glad you made this vid because now with Clark boosting ratings and popularity, they'll try and convince us that the wnba wasn't trash for 25 years.
I’m starting to feel like they’re actually stealing money, if anything.
I might actually be pissed if I was a marginal NBA player on the fringes and these lunatics were not only taking my money but potentially a roster spot from every team so the NBA could promote 'diversity'. 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...
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!!
But did it help his ppg, rpg, apg, etc any?
Nice!
They wont lower the rim, but theyre happy to play with a smaller ball? Its so dumb... lower the damn hoop.
"Nobody showed up, not a soul." COME ON MAN, lets be accurate. I saw AT LEAST 10 people down there.
My bad 😂
😂
I think those were just people on the street, going about their lives. The ""parade""😂, was just passing by at that time. Admittedly there was the ONE guy, "wooooo!"
When I saw the clip for the first time I thought the shadows from the trees were 3 groups of crowds and thought wow that's rough... Then i squinted my eyes and realised those were shadows and there was only one group of people in the middle and there was about 6 of them, god.

I just hate that people jump to the dumbest conclusions when there is a disparity between 2 people or 2 groups. Generally, there are hundreds of reasons that lead to 2 people having differences in their lives. Its generally not because everyone hates women or are racist or bigoted.
She really tried to get hostile and all it did was make her look stupid lol
It would be so refreshing to see just one of them be like "oh. Yeah I think you’re right"
Just like a normal humble human being
They have no revenue. They are in the negative.
You don’t even follow the WNBA so how in the hell do you know anything about each teams revenue?
@@altonpaige2388because it's a matter of public record. The wnba has never made a profit in any year, ever. In fact they lose roughly $10 million each season as a league.
@@altonpaige2388 GOOGLE ?
@@altonpaige2388 because they haven't made any money since they started so I'm not sure what you thought changed from then to now.
That’s not how money works. WNBA generates revenue-Not that much, but it does generate income. The problem is it also has a lot of expenses, and the expenses dramatically exceed the revenue it generates.
😭😭 yo that parade tho ,😭😭😭 Catlin, Cameron brink saving they ass frfr 😂
Split the debt up between all the WNBA players
It's like a person that never pays their share of the rent complaining because you never do the dishes
👍👍👍
There is no wage gap. A "wage gap" implies that different employees/workers/contractors of the same or similar employer are paid differently to do the same job despite having equal skills, qualifications, and experience, and producing similar results.
Ultimately, no matter how many times they lie… its all about LIFESTYLE, not livelihood.
Their out here acting like six figure salaries for 4-5 months of work places them below the poverty line smh.
Imagine trying to sell a black and white tv today and expecting to be paid to e same as someone selling a flat screen
That’s a great analogy
That championship parade looked like a funeral procession-scratch that, more folks would show up for the procession.
I remember hearing about Griner and thinking to myself "Oh yeah, the WNBA is a thing." I had a co-worker mention that the WNBA actually loses money on their games and I naturally I asked how they can stay afloat if they're always losing money. And he just said, "The NBA."
It used to be when a company didnt make money they went under. This is what happens when everyone gets a trophy.
I live in Phoenix. My distain for Britney Greiner is such that you'd have to pay me at minimum $50 an hour to watch The Mercury. I would rather watch pro bowling or Olympic Curling than ANY WNBA game.
That coffee analogy at 10:35 was spot on. Things can both be the same, and different at the same time!
this by far been the best WNBA video I’ve seen. Excellent job brother.
This is the typical far right wing sleep walking bs video.

‘The skill level is off the charts in WNBA’. You are correct, off the charts terrible. 😂😅😂😅😂
Ever seen Shaqtin A Fool? The NBA is full of low IQ flying clowns that were drafted on athletic ability and potential rather than talent. Its a lot harder to score in places like Europe and Australia not just because of the fact that the NBA has streetball style rules that encourage scoring - its also because the low IQ flying clowns of the NBA are less skilled than international players. These are facts. The typical NBA fan is a casual fan that yes - cares about dunks as if its the early 90s or something. I am embarrassed for you people.
Sometimes you just have to accept failure.
Have u tried telling a women she is wrong?
@@billylaw8193😂😂😂😂😂😂
“We are only playing basketball to dunk?”
Oh yeeaaahhh 😂 🤣🤣
The unmitigated gall 😂😂
I’ll take it a step further, I don’t think BG would score a single point if she played Boogie 1 v 1.
she wouldnt it would be 21-0
Im just 6 2 and im pretty fucking sure i have a better chance scoring 1 point than her. There is nothing wrong about being confident, but sometimes you have to be realistic. If grown men playing in tha highest lvl of basketball cant stop cousins, what makes her think she could do it? I mean, cmon.
"Revenue" will be gross not net. It's laughably dishonest.
You get no money from a jersey sale? What about the 2 your parents bought? Only 2 were sold? Doh!
Your jersey revenue came in. Here's your $20. 🤣😂
I never watched a single game in person or on TV. Could careless about the league until Clark got drafted.
They play 32-games season-adding games would be a greater financial disaster, most folks don’t want to pay for what they get to see on the the court.
That empty parade is soul destroying
They are already using smaller basketbal and a shorter free throw line. Now lower t h e rim? What game will that be?
What if someone lowered the rim a few millimeters every game until they could dunk and no one told them?💡🤔
lmbo!
They have trained for years to shoot using a regular size rim..... And only idiots care about dunks.
they would STILL miss an easy lay up.
"Maybe one day you don't go to the casino". Imagine someone opens a burger joint, and then says this to McDonald's or Shake shack 😂
NO MEN watch the Kardashians yet they make more than most NBA players. Hmmmmm.
“The skill level is off the charts in women’s basketball” 😂
I'm a woman and I love to be entertained. I wanna see Dunkin'😆

@@JustBree716 well, nice to meet ya and I'm sure I'll cya around. Lol
Duncan doughnuts needs to sponsor and they can use the slogan the only chance you will any dunkin
Then watch the NBA. Or men's college hoops. Or boys HS ball.
Think of back in high school. “Girls are playing wanna check it out?” Nah I’m good.
This is similar to an actor getting pissed for not getting as much money as another actor who had a more successful film. If you can’t bring in the dough then you can’t make the bread.😂
All I can think of is George on Seinfeld when they're writing the pilot and only get offered 13k between them...
"Ted Danson gets at least 60k an episode!"😂😂😂
"Why can't we have the same revenue sharing as the men?"
Nate the Lawyer did a breakdown of this a little while back, and his conclusion was that if the women split the revenue with the league they would have to pay tens of thousands of dollars every year.
"I'm gonna sell my house and put all the money on Cousins" 😂😂😂
You got to make a profit first then negotiate better pay wages
Not under feminism, all they have to do is keep up the narrative that they are being discriminated against.
@@jinov191 The majority of the United States are women so blame women for buying more NBA tickets than Wnba tickets.
@@timothytaylor9835women aren’t the majority demographic for the sports audience tho. Women do dominate the retail industry tho, it’s why ads for nearly every product (including male products) are aimed at women.
when he said they get noticed when they're thrown into a russian prison that shit had me dead 😂😂😂😂
Even saying there's a "wage gap" concedes too much. Male and female players do not play for the same organisation. The idea of a wage gap is incoherent in these circumstances. There's no reason why anyone should expect to earn the same as someone else just because they work the same profession.
There isn't a 'wage gap' between chefs who work at michelin starred restaurants and chefs who work at Olive Garden.
“Maybe if one night you guys didn’t go to the casino”
I would’ve walked off
lol at 6 10 and cant dunk? i was almost able to in high school at 5'9"
when i was 30, 6'4 and weighed 310, in shape. i could dunk about half my attempt's. as for rim height, 6 inch's would not even ber noticed.
I have watched the WNBA but only for short periods. More than that and the stomach pains from the laughter is too much! Better than Laurel and Hardy!
why play with a smaller ball, if you don't want to lower the rim.
Because they have smaller hands
@@AdamB34 You do understand the point, don't you? The WNBA is willing to use a different size ball - to accommodate a physical difference between men and women, but not willing to consider (or even try) lower hoop?
and shorter season, game and 3 point line.
i watched the wnba in the beginning but then again, it shifted hard and i wasn’t able to watch it on regular tv on an antenna.
I would play basketball for 30k a year
hell yeah
How can your argument be about wanting to make the same share of revenue when you lose money each year?
Do they not understand that logically it means they would be the ones having to pay to play, or is it just an act?
Stop loosing $10 million a year and expect to get paid more. That's not how business works. Selling out games, sell more merchandise.
thats how feminism and woke women work
9:18 can’t lower the rim, but can play with a smaller ball, closer 3pt line and shorter quarters.
End of the day, you're entertainers. Lower the hoop, make it bigger, use a smaller ball, NBA should just make the changes. If the players want to give up six figures and stay home, I'm sure you can find others that will be happy to take their places. The regular season (2023) runs 5/19-9/10. 16 weeks, 32 games, 100 grand. Nice summer job.
They already have a smaller ball.
Jesus Christ. Why would an And1 fan like yourself even care? You arent going to watch it unless everyone else is right? Ha. Are you still watching And1 though? HA. Ya like dunks do ya? Clown.
Lowering the rim wouldnt even help. Their dunks would be garbage the same way everything else they do is. You aint gonna see 360 windmills.
Can't play defense because they have no sense of strategy or competitive instinct, can't layup, can't shoot, can barely rebound
@@standardofexcellence adult females are nothing more than old children. They lack the size, strength, logic, analytical skill and coordination of men.
Naw. You can do fun n entertaining shit on lower goals.
Exactly. Lowered hoops don't increase vertical jumping ability. Griner looks like she jumps about a foot off the ground...
Watching that parade clip where no one was there was so sad!
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?
Lower the rim for the NBA and watch the shooting percentages drop. These women have been playing with a regular height rim for years so you cant just lower in to get a few dunk highlights. Only idiots care about dunks anyway. ANd yeah - most NBA fans are %$%$ing idiots.
It’s so insane how offended they are about lowering the rim
Thank you, I'm ok with even 9ft
The investors were russians
Makes sense
What GAP??? It is not the same product. Thus no GAP!
This is great. Now make one on women's soccer as well. Because they seem to have a hard time "getting it" as well.
Women's soccer is different, those women actually deserve more than the men. The attention and excitement in their play... now WNBA Basketball nah ..
At the end when you said coffee, I thought yeah, WNBA= Sanka instant in luke warm water and NBA= Liquid Death best coffee on the market.
I really don't see this league going anywhere and I believe it deserves to die and seeing the NBA where it's at, it's not getting any better either. The 90's was the golden era for men's basketball and to me for a while it's been over, let alone any hope for the WNBA.
Me and the boys were playing like that, in school...
As a volleyball player its insane how the rim in basketball is the same height for both genders.
Give ‘em the percentage of revenue, I’m sure they’ll change their minds 🤣
