I just want to put this out there: DON'T hate on the WNBA for no reason-- you can criticize statements at your will but there is NO room for unnecessary hatred in this world during a time like this. I enjoy watching women's basketball and the WNBA has a lot of potential, but in order to move forward, I believe that certain players and fans need a reality check. NO HATRED IS TOLERATED! Let's discuss how to make the WNBA a more entertaining product.
WNBA is an inspiration to my grandma. She suffered a leg injury in an accident but one day while watching WNBA she was able to walk in front of the TV and turned it off.
As Bill Burr stated, it’s not our job to make the WNBA work, talk to all the feminist on tv, or better yet pull all NBA funding and let it stand or fail on its own
What the WNBA players don't understand is who is the market. Look at who are the fans of profitable Women sport's Women's tennis? Women UFC women's pro boxing? women's Volleyball? It's men because the great majority of men don't watch sports. Everything is about promoting for girls to watch the game. It's like minor league baseball saying they have the same attraction as the majors. The only thing that have is being a local team. It's about loyalty to a team more then being a world start. They want don't have the brand of the NBA being a world wide produce. They are local starts to niche fans. One of the highest respect is when you you say a jersey number and people knows the player. The number is better then the name. Number 23 and i don't have to tell anyone who knows basketball who I talking around the world. They got the heads so stuck up an Ideology they don't care about the fans.
@@faervas1234I mean Luka is one of the most marketable guy out there, he shout them out and instead of respond nicely or not saying anything at all, They decided to bashed him on twitter for no reason…. So yeah at least from Europe, WNBA is not well-liked here at all😂
I actually agree tho. They basically always let the players travel to run for a dunk and I’m not really impressed with a dunk if the rim is like 2 ft. Above your head cuz you’re a giant. Basketball is the worst most flawed sport. “A game of shortcomings”
The number thing kills me. Anyone in sports knows we call each other by number! My entire high school career I was 78. Someone people didn't even know my first name just my last name and number!
On the Court you're a Number, not a "Unique and Special Individual with your own Personal Special Identity" you are a Member of a Team! These girls (Yes I said girls! That's the way they act!) don't understand that!
John Madden one-time NFL coach used to refer to the players of next game’s opponent by their numbers. It’s less intimidating to refer to #99 or #12 than Aaron Donald or Tom Brady. Besides, in the NFL if you can read their name on the jersey they’re already past you.
Anyone who plays sports knows that your number is just as good as your name. It’s why we always go for the same jersey number every year, and if you play multiple you get the same number.
Well... the fact that they are there means that probably they are the best women at basketball. The problem with the talent is concerning, but basketball is more popular among men, so its natural that from a smaller pool of talent there is a worse average. Also, most of them do not earn 6 figures. They earn much less than that (yearly). But still, they earn proportionally to what they generate or whatever they achieve through collective bargaining.
@@kumayasei but they dont even seem like the best athletes, look at the women competing in track and field they look like they are on a different level
@@hoosthere yes but basketball isn't always about the most athletic body... just look at examples like Stephen Curry, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki. Compared to male basketball players they may look trash, but you can't really compare the top 0.001% elite athletes taken from a pool of dozens of millions of players worldwide, that enter a system and culture in which they train since they are old enough to hold the rock with the talent pool that is available for women basketball, much more limited in number and in reach and scope of training, preparation and overall quality
@@kumayasei I get that but they are supposed to be the top athletics and skill to be pros and some don't look like they ever do any training, I mean look at gymnast, track and field, ballet dancers they are ripped
Just watching this vs UConn women or the like, it seems that the WNBA are playing a lot of 4s and 5s out of position at the same time fundamentals like passing to create spacing as well as taking shots while in control and/or moving towards or squaring to the basket are not common. Another thing to consider would be athletic primes of women may be a few years younger than men - maybe declining by age 28-30 for women instead of 30-32 for men. What do you peeps think ??
I remember when Ronda Rousey was on top in the UFC. She got asked a question about her not making as much as her male counterparts. She was like if I brought as much revenue to the organization like Connor or somebody. Then yes I'd be upset. But you get paid based of the value you bring to the organization just like any other job. Had mad respect for that response.
No she got hit with the Mayweather affect she talked shit about Mayweather and lost her very next fight no 😂😂😂 it's really a thing all the fighters who talk shit about Mayweather boxing or UFC end up losing there very next fight somebody made a whole video on this 😂
This never happened lol. Ronda was by far the most paid athlete in the UFC during her run. Conor, while always a big name, was still on his original contract by the end of Ronda’s loss at 193.
and add to the fact Ronda was bringing in the most revenue during her reign? Ufc193 had 56,000 people in one stadium just to see her. Plus she had the more than double Jon Jones (the 2nd biggest name during that time) ppv buys from 2010-2014
@@brendalove5981 I asked my girl and her and her mom both (at the same time damn near) agreed that from their experience women don't like each other but from how she put it, it sounds like women are just very competitive with each other for some reason, like I noticed even when she's with her best friends they're passive aggressive to each other, even though it's obvious they care about each other a lot. It's strange. Guys are the same way though, albiet more blunt or sometimes violent which makes me think it's a weird primal thing we still have.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a sports bar and someone has said, “Hey. Can you put the WNBA game on?” I can’t tell you because it hasn’t happened yet.
@@sjsnsnsnzn3352 I’m just calling it as I see it man. We have a WNBA team in New England, but here in Boston if you said, “Hey! Can you put the Connecticut Sun game on?” in a pub they’d look at you like you had three heads.
Womens sports isn't really a hot topic inless you talk about tenis ,vollyball,soccer etc because womens sports are just getting popular and men are more aggressive then women so they'll get attention
I remember when the Griner Cousins thing was happening. I said it speaks loads when her own Olympic coach said he would litteral bet his house against her.
@@357say same, I would sell my house at a profit now, sell all my worldy possessions, take out a loan for as much as a bank would allow, then bet every single penny on Boogey
Well sounding like a BIG MAN would make you call a calm and relaxed smoothly talking MAN sound like a little boy to you lmao an some women I just money hungry even the ones with money they just don't make enough on their own gotta take it from somebody
@@Shmayes81188 That is the most unexisting dark matter theory in the history of mankind. I hope you won't be strucked by lightning by what you have said😂
Every time the women in the WNBA ask for more money, the question should be asked publicly and of those women, "Where is the money going to come from to pay you what you are asking for?"
To play devils advocate: I've read that a huge chunk of sports player salaries go towards insurance, agents fees, etc. I don't know if that applies here, but they're probably making closer to the national median than the raw numbers imply. Still ungrateful, but less absurdly so.
One of the saddest aspects of Kobe's and Gigi's tragic passing earlier this year is that it robbed the WNBA of a future superstar and it deprived the world of being able to see Kobe begin his second career as a WNBA coach and inevitably coach his daughter to multiple WNBA championships. A lot of us have never watched a WNBA game before, but who wouldn't pay good money to see Gigi hit fadeaways and play like a Kobe-clone with the Black Mamba himself coaching her on the sidelines. It would have been so beautiful.
@JorgeJR what are you talking about? This isn’t just fan fiction but the two were actually heading down this path had the accident never happened. At 13 years old Gigi was already playing like her dad and Kobe had actually intended to start coaching women’s basketball after his daughter started playing. You can read about both of these here: www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/ny-kobe-bryant-daughter-gigi-fadeaway-jumper-20191118-fvsf7mybdvhelhuewqhkwwctxa-story.html www.boston.com/sports/nba/2020/01/27/kobe-bryant-gigi-basketball-uconn
@JorgeJR the difference is Kobe's daughter; Gigi, actually loved the game and was already showing that she was amazing for her age, hitting contested fadeaways, nice jumper and willigness to learn. You're just choosing to narrate it in a superficial way, but unlike MJs sons, she actually loved the game and was already showing great potential.
In highschool with a group of friends we had some girlfriends playing with us. Mixed teams and at half we lowered the rim to 9. It was freaking great, the girls hit more layups and Amber dunked on Travis. Everyone exploded at the courts. Next thing we knew, all the girls wanted the rim lower.
Imagine tweeting that your salary is only in the "low six figures" and expecting sympathy from regular people. 0 concept of reality. I guess I'll go to the CEO of my company and complain that they're not paying their employees 50% of their revenue... I'm sure I won't be fired.
Chances are the employees at your company actually do get collectively paid more than half of total revenue, but that's because you're talking about all the employees. What WNBA players are asking for is the equivalent of all the McDonald's general managers demanding to be paid half of all McDonald's revenue because they're running the stores, which is simply absurd. If WNBA players were worth being paid the kind of money they want, they'd either have cultivated a profitable league via their performance, which they can't do, or they'd go try out and get signed on an NBA team, which they also can't do. And yes, any NBA team that had a woman try out and show enough talent to make the team would sign her. The fact is that there's not a single woman in existence who has that talent and there never will be.
@@johnwatsoniv384 the only reason for men get paid so much, as much as 50% of revenue is because the revenue is high enough, so the teams, orgs and league can afford it, also competition is high enough so money talks when it comes to contracts and so on. When it comes to woman and their league, its being donated money into instead of generating its own. Its not about splitting profits, its something like asking your boss to raise your salary, pay you out of his own pockets while staying in red numbers. That shit is just absurd. If you have no profits, you have no revenue, they yiu get paid shit. This feminism shit that's around us is just absurd.. They do get to play game they love.. Enjoy their live.. And make milions of $ in proces (their low six figure deal in $ would set them for life in my country if they keep that contract for few years running, for example, so this bitching someone makes more just pisses me off.). And pisses me even more when there's visible gap and no discusión about whos better. Like.. Idk what sport it was yif basketball or football, but fucking national team (winners of worlds) ot beaten by high school team full of teenage boys that literally make a peanuts, how the duck they can ask for equal.. Shouldn't then high school hoys with higher skill level make even more than them? My logic tells me they should.. Because people should be paid for their skills and what they do, not dor their gender.) The mens case is, there are billions generated, so the teams don't care if they or the players get it, if it means their star players stay with them and sign contracts.
I think the American woman's soccer team (which is one of the top in the world) lost to a mans high school soccer team, so the same would probably happen for basketball
Two things about women’s basketball… 1) The notion that women’s basketball is somehow exceptionally fundamental needs put to rest. A quarter of the plays are a fiasco. 2) Watch a women’s college game and count how many times a player ends up on the floor. Sometimes it is for good reason, yes, but most of the time it is chaos.
I never realized how aesthetically unpleasing watching consecutive missed shots really is. It’s almost like my mind rejects it and makes me so uncomfortable
Who wouldve thought watching paint dry would hold a higher entertainment value than watching "professional" athletes try to promote a league that lacks the most basic fundamentals?
Yes you would at first you would be happy as hell but when you realize everybody else you're playing with is making almost 10 times as much as you are you would change slowly.
@@someoneextra819 No! Because everyone else is getting less than what shes getting. Shes comparing herself to the men, they play the same sport but at 2 different levels.. What if you were the highest paid McDonalds worker would you then complain that a gourmet chef who works in 5 restaurant is getting paid more than you? Same sport but at completely different levels
They should lower the rim. It's kinda like when you were younger and you'd lower the rim to do some crazy dunks for fun. That's the entire point; FUN. The game is for fun and entertainment. Make the game more entertaining and more people will watch it.
They are waaaay too prideful to accept that. The irony is that it would probably make their sport way more watchable and as a result, more profitable. They want everything the NBA has without doing whatever it takes.
let's say I'm a businessman. I have a restaurant that costs me 10k a month. I have a waiter and this restaurant generates 20k per month. I keep myself 18, 10k for maintaining it, 8k for my own profit, and 2k for salary. The ratio is 2 to 20 aka 10% salary. But if my restaurant were to earn me 100k per month, I would've taken myself 60k, 10k for the restaurant, and 50k for myself. Then my staff would've got a salary of 40k and that's is 40 / 100 aka 40% ratio. That is why they do not have neither good salary or good ratio. They generate small amount of money, so they get lesser part of it, businessmen are not interested in earning $1, they always have their minimum expected income, and if that ain't happening, you get lesser salaries
@@myronwilborn6561 the college game had programs like Tennessee & Connecticut made dynasties that impressed fans and causal audiences alike. No player or team in the WNBA has come close to that level of consistency to make folks take notice.
@@aztn19 the Houston comets were starting to become that team for the league back in the day. Back when swoopes and cooper and Tina Thompson were there. Idk If they even still have a team in Houston , sad.
90% of the WNBA game is jogging around and going lower then 0.50 for lay ups. No one is gonna pay to watch that over any other sport. They literally just need to get better. Get faster, jump higher, shoot better and the fans will come. But demanding more pay for such a mediocre product is just sad
The violin 🎻 gets smaller when they do compare what they do to their NBA counterparts as why that should be getting more. Skylar’s dig into Harrison Barnes is a prime example. She compared her résumé to his in a dismissive way, while complaining why she should get more because of it; she’s a 4-time All-Star & leading scorer on a team that hasn’t had a winning season since drafting her. Barnes - while not an All-Star, was a key piece of the Warriors championship team in 2015 & their record-setting 73-win regular season in 2016; after the KD trade, Harrison became the Mavs leading scoring option. By the time Diggins made that comparison in 2019, neither Dallas team had much to brag about. Was Diggins saying she’s as good as Barnes despite never winning a title like he did, or that she needs to be paid as much as a player like Barnes got paid despite him never being an All-Star??
@Tevin Grouse it’s not that they don’t deserve a pay raise, it’s how are they going to get such a raise when their league can’t afford it? Even the $500K minimum you suggest is currently untenable to pay every player. The WNBA barely makes $80M/yr; no way they can give $72M to 144 players across their 12 teams & still remain financial solvent.
Crazy part about that quote is that that guy coaches female players. Or, at least he did at the time that quote was made. So, ostensibly, he'd have more respect for them than the average person. But he's also not stupid, lol.
@@RoyaleWitCheese04 not just a women’s coach, literally the most successful women’s basketball coach on the planet. Coaches UConn and the USA women’s teams
"while NBA players are making millions I'm only making low 6 figures." you're making as much as some doctors by playing the sport you love. be grateful.
If people complain about WNBA players being paid less than NBA players, then they should also complain about G-League players being paid less... It's a different league, of course they don't have the same salary, their league is making less money.
It also more clearly illustrates that he is talking about her sports performance, and not a personal interaction that he had with her. Using the number was the most appropriate way to get his point across
Now we know the true value of a WNBA player, especially a Lesbian one: an even swap for a Russian arms dealer. But I understand that an actual soldier of ours was let behind. Seems fair, right?
That's my first thought too! They miss a lot of lay ups, have very few tall players, and shooting into a goal not as high really wouldn't be as much an adjustment. If they would humbly & modestly accept they won't ever compete to the same level as the guys (just a fact, not an insult) and just took what they could do to its limits, I guarantee more would watch! But that requires modesty - recognizing limits, facing reality and adjusting like an adult
Geno Auriemma, the greatest women's coach of all time, so he's not some rando hater of women's basketball. He's just not delusional like these WNBA players are.
When that one chick said “.. omg it’s so slow” SHES SO RIGHT! They put no real energy into the game. It’s like in slowmo. WNBA defense is almost nonexistent, the overall skill is just very low. You see better hooping going on at a pick up game at the local YMCA
For real. I'm a woman and I find the WNBA culture so grating. It's like their approach to the game is all talk, no show in effort and intensity. Women's College Basketball KILLS the WNBA -- they put in the work and don't see the game as an excuse to kiss their own asses and then play victim. Whenever I watch women's ball, it's college, all day any day. Sooo, how is the problem sexism?? 🤔🤦🏽♀️

What is sad, is that you can use so many different questions... And honestly most Americans couldn't answer the question for you even if they had a gun to their head. I don't know who the MVP of the league is either
There is no gender restriction in the NBA, right? So why don't all these female ball artists find an NBA Team and make the big bucks? As far as I understand the WNBA players they play the "highest level of basketball" in the WNBA, so the NBA should be a piece of cake for them...

we should just give them what they want and let them make the same percentage as the men do in comparison to their league so they have to start paying to play
@@dubnation1360 did u watch the video, u gotta realize that the league does not make money a total of 60 million a year and if the were to make the same percentage the league would be in the drain it’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they can’t afford ut
@Dubnation #1 true we should give them their shirt sales and revenues. So instead of making 6 figures they can make the 3 figures they generate. Then they pick up a part time job to make ends meet.
The issue with the woman winning the dunk contest is it emphasizes the fact that men have to treat woman with kid gloves....Yet they claim they want equality.
I just watched a compilation of air balls and missed layups. Lowering the goal by a foot or few would do women’s basketball a world of difference. This trend of ignoring biological facts as a form of empowerment is delusional and counterproductive.
I worked in a very high stress occupation and from 50 to 80 hours a week. My occupation contributed much to the betterment of society. I made way less than these WNBA players. What justifies these players making as much as they already make. I also coached basketball for young people. The first thing I would tell the kids was that the object was to throw the ball through the hoop. I had to tell them that because many would start out thinking the object was to run up and down the court and then miss shot after shot after shot and they thought they were good ball players. From looking at the WNBA games, it appears someone needs to tell them this.
The "betterment of society" ? Tell me more. I don't see how accepting ridiculous work hours (80 hours a week) helps society... Or maybe you're lying, who knows.
@@mekacrabMost jobs, in case you were unaware, serve a client base. With retail, that's assisting in/providing physical products to consumers. With hospitality, that's providing a place to stay. Both of these, in some slight way, improve the world around us, as long as you're doing it right. Some jobs particularly so. They could work in healthcare, or the political sector. They could be be a teacher, or therapist. Hell, they could be a particularly good manager or higher up at some important company. Again, lots of jobs contribute a good deal to the world we live in. Entertainment is important too, but I wouldn't quite peg the WNBA as vital.
It looked like T Mac was dancing around landmines when asking about lowering the hoop damn the WNBA's lack of accepting criticism in anyway makes them so unlikable

Lowering the hoops is obvious. The net is lower in most sports where men and women play - and its perfectly reasonable. They already use a smaller ball. They already have a different 3 point line. Lower the hoop.

There's one aspect of the women's game that is rarely if ever mentioned - explosiveness. 95% of the players lumber around, are incredibly uncoordinated, and move at about 70% of the speed of male players (NBA or otherwise). It's the same with women's wrestling, soccer, and hockey. There has never, ever been a moment in the WNBA where a player exhibited a "WOW" moment of athleticism. Dunking or not, that is the reason I find it so deeply uninteresting.
Women: "i've playing on 10 feet my whole life, if it got lowered it would take a long time to get used to" Also women: misssing layups with no def, 90% of 3 point attempts are air balls. Lol

I decided to play against the amateur team in our city. The moment I got dunked on brings me back to earth and made me love the library more than the basketball court. It turns out to be the best decision for me. Maybe this is what the WNBA players need to experience. They will start to re-evaluate everything once they know how it feels to be posterized. 😂😂😂
Yep. I could pass really well and shoot lights out from 3, so I tried out for AAU, and it felt like I was playing against the Dream Team. I never had a 3 blocked in my face until that tryout...

Personally, my hats off to any person (Man or woman or other) that dedicates themselves to a professional level of play. That being said, comparing men's and women's professional sports to each other is absurd. Men and Women are different, you can try to convince yourself and others that they're the same, but reality, facts and biology say otherwise. Ever notice there are no Women playing in the NFL? It's NOT because they're not allowed to (they are) it's because they'd get killed or severely injured.

Two years on and it's still an issue. As some people have pointed out, if the WNBA were to take on a true 50% cut of profit share, each player would currently be paying the league around $20k. They lack the combination of skill level and physical tools necessary for them to compete with the NBA in regards to entertainment. The women's ball is smaller and lighter and you'll see the women pulling off high skill dribble moves, but the defender never bites. Why? Simply, the threat of the dribble move is empty bc they aren't going to be able to generate the force to make that one-handed push pass, the defender is already in front of the ball bc they lack the explosiveness and there is zero chance the ball handler was going to try to bully through the defender. So the ball handler was styling on herself as the other 9 players on the floor all knew she was trying to fake the drive or pass so she could gather and take a stand-still jumper. The only reliable threat a lot of womens players possess. Lowering the hoop wouldn't do much to help the situation bc they lack the strength necessary to power through the contact. One of the first differences I see when watching the WNBA when compared to the NBA is that you can clearly see the effort of the women when they take long jumpers and take shots close to the rim. Think about it like this, guys like Steph Curry and Damian Lillard can take half court shots with the same shooting motion as they take at the 3pt line. A lot of the womens 3pt shots look like a lot of men do when they take half court shots. The motion isn't fluid or dynamic, they come down off balance typically with all their weight on their lead leg. We've already seen the best women team in the world lose to a good boys high school team in soccer. The result would be the same for the WNBA. The real shame is the push the NBA was giving the WNBA did nothing but piss the women off. It has to be frustrating for the men to know how much they prop up the WNBA and how they get attacked any time they try to do something to make the WNBA more self-sufficient. At this point the best thing the WNBA could do is give tickets away for free and bank on making more money back from concessions. I'd also suggest not limiting the number of alcoholic drinks a person can have as is done in most sports these days. There are a lot of sports fans that prefer the college game to the pros bc of the environment of the games. They can't compete in terms of the quality of product so maybe they should try marketing the passion for the product over the quality, ala college sports.
Thank you! They need to go watch the last dance because once the NBA got world wide publicity the sky was the limit. Which is why we have so many foreign players in the league today.
I would watch the WNBA as much as the NBA if they would add Walruses and Penguins all over the court. Just randomly wandering around . I would even buy a ticket to go see this.
LOL; like, seriously. And word should come from the higher-ups to the announcers not to mention the fact that there are sea animals on the court. I'd legit watch the game for 40 minutes wondering why no one was commenting on the goddamn animals on the court
@@TomiAdewoleAdetom But they will mention them because they are going to incorporate them INTO the game. Instead of typical free throws the animals wander around until there are 5 fouls by a team. There are no free throws but there is like in the NHL a 2 minute penalty . Everything in the game stays the same except for 2 things. Every player on the penalized team gets fish attached all over them and a Polar bear is added.
@@roadblock0210 I didn't say it wasn't. I'm simply saying that the WNBA accepts more less-than-optimal players than men's leagues or women's international basketball.
@@joshuaclabeaux1470 idk man you're talking like the league is like "eh let's just take all these shit players" when really they have try outs and scouters for colleges. They are taking the best they can find and the best they have is garbage.
T Mac was so patient with that girl in that rim conversation he could’ve stumbled his words really easily and insulted her huge ego even more but he’s a good guy and tip toed around that smoothly
T-mack was walking on egg shells just to make a valid point. Ridiculous. The game in WNBA is barley the level of NCAA women's div. If the league as a whole is not profitable they should be ashamed asking for more cash the league doesn't have. They are killing their own sport.
@@rickytang9420 I was good enough to be a 1st team player in my conference in a small 3A school in Wickenburg. However, as a 6'4" 205 lbs small forward (remember small school) I'd easily be able to hang with the PF and C of the WNBA when I was still in that kind of shape. Please note that is not a brag, because I wasn't good enough to walk on at a community college here in AZ. Maybe if I worked really hard, I could have rode the pine at a community college, because I was too small to play a big, and not really a great enough perimeter shooter or ball handler to play a lengthy wing. Good enough to play in the WNBA most likely though.

The women who wants this and fighting for this, now it's here where are they at to help support WNBA???
What the WNBA players don't understand is who is the market. Look at who are the fans of profitable Women sport's Women's tennis? Women UFC women's pro boxing? women's Volleyball? It's men because the great majority of men don't watch sports. Everything is about promoting for girls to watch the game. It's like minor league baseball saying they have the same attraction as the majors. The only thing that have is being a local team. It's about loyalty to a team more then being a world start. They want don't have the brand of the NBA being a world wide produce. They are local starts to niche fans. One of the highest respect is when you you say a jersey number and people knows the player. The number is better then the name. Number 23 and i don't have to tell anyone who knows basketball who I talking around the world. They got the heads so stuck up an Ideology they don't care about the fans.

The number thing kills me. Anyone in sports knows we call each other by number! My entire high school career I was 78. Someone people didn't even know my first name just my last name and number!
On the Court you're a Number, not a "Unique and Special Individual with your own Personal Special Identity" you are a Member of a Team!
These girls (Yes I said girls! That's the way they act!) don't understand that!
I wasn't called by my first name until I retired. It was number or maybe last name. Maybe.
John Madden one-time NFL coach used to refer to the players of next game’s opponent by their numbers. It’s less intimidating to refer to #99 or #12 than Aaron Donald or Tom Brady. Besides, in the NFL if you can read their name on the jersey they’re already past you.
Anyone who plays sports knows that your number is just as good as your name. It’s why we always go for the same jersey number every year, and if you play multiple you get the same number.
That part upset me, was a great point though-major boots up their salty arses.
imagine being terrible at something, making 6 figures doing it, and still complain like youre a victim.
that's the problem with social justice warriors . . .
Well... the fact that they are there means that probably they are the best women at basketball. The problem with the talent is concerning, but basketball is more popular among men, so its natural that from a smaller pool of talent there is a worse average. Also, most of them do not earn 6 figures. They earn much less than that (yearly). But still, they earn proportionally to what they generate or whatever they achieve through collective bargaining.
@@kumayasei but they dont even seem like the best athletes, look at the women competing in track and field they look like they are on a different level

i would also agree. its like Night and Day
Facts, maybe cuz the women can go into a different career and make more than WNBA lmao.
Just watching this vs UConn women or the like, it seems that the WNBA are playing a lot of 4s and 5s out of position at the same time fundamentals like passing to create spacing as well as taking shots while in control and/or moving towards or squaring to the basket are not common. Another thing to consider would be athletic primes of women may be a few years younger than men - maybe declining by age 28-30 for women instead of 30-32 for men. What do you peeps think ??
Same with european womens basketball. They seem to hit decent shots more often

I remember when Ronda Rousey was on top in the UFC. She got asked a question about her not making as much as her male counterparts. She was like if I brought as much revenue to the organization like Connor or somebody. Then yes I'd be upset. But you get paid based of the value you bring to the organization just like any other job. Had mad respect for that response.
No she got hit with the Mayweather affect she talked shit about Mayweather and lost her very next fight no 😂😂😂 it's really a thing all the fighters who talk shit about Mayweather boxing or UFC end up losing there very next fight somebody made a whole video on this 😂
This never happened lol. Ronda was by far the most paid athlete in the UFC during her run. Conor, while always a big name, was still on his original contract by the end of Ronda’s loss at 193.
and add to the fact Ronda was bringing in the most revenue during her reign? Ufc193 had 56,000 people in one stadium just to see her. Plus she had the more than double Jon Jones (the 2nd biggest name during that time) ppv buys from 2010-2014
Ronda was being paid an insane amount for bringing so much to the UFC.. this is just false.

@JorgeJR what are you talking about? This isn’t just fan fiction but the two were actually heading down this path had the accident never happened.

Chances are the employees at your company actually do get collectively paid more than half of total revenue, but that's because you're talking about all the employees. What WNBA players are asking for is the equivalent of all the McDonald's general managers demanding to be paid half of all McDonald's revenue because they're running the stores, which is simply absurd.
If WNBA players were worth being paid the kind of money they want, they'd either have cultivated a profitable league via their performance, which they can't do, or they'd go try out and get signed on an NBA team, which they also can't do. And yes, any NBA team that had a woman try out and show enough talent to make the team would sign her. The fact is that there's not a single woman in existence who has that talent and there never will be.
@@johnwatsoniv384 the only reason for men get paid so much, as much as 50% of revenue is because the revenue is high enough, so the teams, orgs and league can afford it, also competition is high enough so money talks when it comes to contracts and so on.
When it comes to woman and their league, its being donated money into instead of generating its own. Its not about splitting profits, its something like asking your boss to raise your salary, pay you out of his own pockets while staying in red numbers. That shit is just absurd. If you have no profits, you have no revenue, they yiu get paid shit.
This feminism shit that's around us is just absurd.. They do get to play game they love.. Enjoy their live.. And make milions of $ in proces (their low six figure deal in $ would set them for life in my country if they keep that contract for few years running, for example, so this bitching someone makes more just pisses me off.). And pisses me even more when there's visible gap and no discusión about whos better. Like.. Idk what sport it was yif basketball or football, but fucking national team (winners of worlds) ot beaten by high school team full of teenage boys that literally make a peanuts, how the duck they can ask for equal.. Shouldn't then high school hoys with higher skill level make even more than them? My logic tells me they should.. Because people should be paid for their skills and what they do, not dor their gender.)
The mens case is, there are billions generated, so the teams don't care if they or the players get it, if it means their star players stay with them and sign contracts.

"My salary was only a small 6 figures" Woe is me, I shall play this tune on the world smallest violin

The violin 🎻 gets smaller when they do compare what they do to their NBA counterparts as why that should be getting more. Skylar’s dig into Harrison Barnes is a prime example. She compared her résumé to his in a dismissive way, while complaining why she should get more because of it; she’s a 4-time All-Star & leading scorer on a team that hasn’t had a winning season since drafting her. Barnes - while not an All-Star, was a key piece of the Warriors championship team in 2015 & their record-setting 73-win regular season in 2016; after the KD trade, Harrison became the Mavs leading scoring option. By the time Diggins made that comparison in 2019, neither Dallas team had much to brag about. Was Diggins saying she’s as good as Barnes despite never winning a title like he did, or that she needs to be paid as much as a player like Barnes got paid despite him never being an All-Star??
@Tevin Grouse it’s not that they don’t deserve a pay raise, it’s how are they going to get such a raise when their league can’t afford it? Even the $500K minimum you suggest is currently untenable to pay every player. The WNBA barely makes $80M/yr; no way they can give $72M to 144 players across their 12 teams & still remain financial solvent.

I worked in a very high stress occupation and from 50 to 80 hours a week. My occupation contributed much to the betterment of society. I made way less than these WNBA players. What justifies these players making as much as they already make. I also coached basketball for young people. The first thing I would tell the kids was that the object was to throw the ball through the hoop. I had to tell them that because many would start out thinking the object was to run up and down the court and then miss shot after shot after shot and they thought they were good ball players. From looking at the WNBA games, it appears someone needs to tell them this.

There's one aspect of the women's game that is rarely if ever mentioned - explosiveness. 95% of the players lumber around, are incredibly uncoordinated, and move at about 70% of the speed of male players (NBA or otherwise).

Dunking or not, that is the reason I find it so deeply uninteresting.

Two years on and it's still an issue. As some people have pointed out, if the WNBA were to take on a true 50% cut of profit share, each player would currently be paying the league around $20k.
They lack the combination of skill level and physical tools necessary for them to compete with the NBA in regards to entertainment. The women's ball is smaller and lighter and you'll see the women pulling off high skill dribble moves, but the defender never bites. Why? Simply, the threat of the dribble move is empty bc they aren't going to be able to generate the force to make that one-handed push pass, the defender is already in front of the ball bc they lack the explosiveness and there is zero chance the ball handler was going to try to bully through the defender. So the ball handler was styling on herself as the other 9 players on the floor all knew she was trying to fake the drive or pass so she could gather and take a stand-still jumper. The only reliable threat a lot of womens players possess.
Lowering the hoop wouldn't do much to help the situation bc they lack the strength necessary to power through the contact. One of the first differences I see when watching the WNBA when compared to the NBA is that you can clearly see the effort of the women when they take long jumpers and take shots close to the rim. Think about it like this, guys like Steph Curry and Damian Lillard can take half court shots with the same shooting motion as they take at the 3pt line. A lot of the womens 3pt shots look like a lot of men do when they take half court shots. The motion isn't fluid or dynamic, they come down off balance typically with all their weight on their lead leg.
We've already seen the best women team in the world lose to a good boys high school team in soccer. The result would be the same for the WNBA. The real shame is the push the NBA was giving the WNBA did nothing but piss the women off. It has to be frustrating for the men to know how much they prop up the WNBA and how they get attacked any time they try to do something to make the WNBA more self-sufficient. At this point the best thing the WNBA could do is give tickets away for free and bank on making more money back from concessions. I'd also suggest not limiting the number of alcoholic drinks a person can have as is done in most sports these days. There are a lot of sports fans that prefer the college game to the pros bc of the environment of the games. They can't compete in terms of the quality of product so maybe they should try marketing the passion for the product over the quality, ala college sports.
