    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.

      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.

      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 ??

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.

    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.

      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.

      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 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??

    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:

      @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.

    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.

      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.
