North Jersey but I miss Cali :sadcam:
There is more women online complaining about equal pay for the wnba players then there are women who actually attend games purchase merchandise .

That's the problem

Most of the uniforms are ugly.

Honestly, they make them overly feminine. They should make them in away that anybody can wear them, including men :manny:

704. Formerly 212 and 843.
Women’s college ball is probably more pop than the WNBA

Hell the women coaches make more money than wnba coaches. Geno auriemma makes more than the uconn man head coach

Most WBB College programs are operating in the red themselves. Hell, UConn was operating in the red when Maya Moore was there and they went 90 game winning streak. The 2019 NCAA Women's Tournament lost money. I believe that UConn still operates in the red. Football and Men's basketball are footing the bill at these schools.

Somewhere tropic...
Do an IPO and take the WNBA public.
fukk it, I don't know :yeshrug:
The issue is revenue and they operate at a loss. Point blank period
Knowing that and still asking for a raise is fugazi to me in the first place.
And to add insult to injury, the only culprit they can point at is black men
:hubie: Good luck with your endeavors.

Thing is, women historically are the spenders of the communities. If a woman league is not gaining the revenue that a male league is, then based on how women spend, they have themselves to blame. I saw some post liking and sharing a tweet about this subject. I simply posted if the amount of people liking and sharing this tweet would turn that into actually attending games, and purchasing shoes and jerseys of these players then they could argue them recieving more pay.

It would probably fold. I always assumed they were losing money or barely profitable and the NBA was keeping it alive for PR purposes and cause “it’s the right thing to do” I have no idea though, I just always thought that
The wnba is a tax write off/business expense to the nba:laff:

Teams have to spend a minimum on payroll each year. And while everyone would like to sign a Kevin Durant type talent, there is only one Kevin Durant. But they still have to spend, so teams end up overpaying for players just to spend money.


The Knicks overpaid for Tim Hardaway Jr. (4 years $71 million). It was a bad contract, and bad contract is a term I know you've heard before.
You’re thinking small picture. The money is there, it has to go to someone and there’s a union. There can only be overpaid players if you think the players as a whole get too much of the revenue. WNBA players have a smaller pool of money because they generate no interest. And that’s not necessarily anyone’s fault or even a REAL problem, just something for people who don’t think in larger terms to whine about.

Men ain’t wearing women’s jerseys en masse breh, just stop it. Do you have a sister in the league or something?? You seem to be WAY overly optimistic about this leagues potential.

Man I watched that Stanford vs Louisville game the other night and the only thing that kept me intrigued was watching Dana Evans look like Steph Curry out there. Only to watch her team let Standford make a run and come back and win.

Watching her throw dimes only to see them miss wide open layups. :mjlol:

Fast breaks are so anticlimactic you be oh shyt here we go :gladbron:.....

Layup :beli:


They not even jelly with the layups either :snoop:

And I'm sorry watching them grab offensive rebounds and trying to go back up is the funniest shyt. The amount of struggle footwork and power in the post is hilarious :pachaha:

They mind as well go the Juwanna Mann route if they want this shyt to flourish.

They mind as well follow Shaq's advice and lower the rim. They're already using a smaller ball so why not?

Of course the ATL
A lot of victim blaming in here, why are y’all blaming the women for wanting better pay? :dwillhuh:

I made these suggestions in the other thread but I’ll post them here, the WNBA needs to reevaluate its entire business model and the product and the WNBA Players Association in combination with the WNBA need to come together on a plan to raise minimum and max salaries for players (they just recently signed a CBA in Jan 2020 that expires in 2027). So this is what the players agreed to:

**Foremost among the deal terms is a 53 percent increase in total cash compensation, consisting of base salary, additional performance bonuses, prize pools for newly created in-season competitions, and league and team marketing deals. Under the new CBA, the league’s top players will be able to earn cash compensation in excess of $500,000, representing a more than tripling of the maximum compensation under the prior deal. Other top players will have an opportunity to earn between $200,000 and $300,000. And for the first time in WNBA history, the average cash compensation for players will exceed six figures, averaging nearly $130,000, resulting in an increase for all players from rookies to veterans.**

So more cash is coming for the league as a whole and for the players. That’s a start.

Besides ticket revenue the TV money is what’s going to be the biggest driver of revenue for the players.

The ESPN deal ends in 2022, CBS and the WNBA signed a deal in 2019. The exposure from both deals has been good, but the WNBA should also look at emerging streaming options (Twitter, Twitch, Amazon, IG) to negotiate more lucrative TV, media and digital rights deals. People are consuming media in more ways than ever now. The WNBA needs to be available in more places for people to engage with the product

So there are logical, reasonable ways to drive player salaries up. It will be a process but within 10 years and as the current CBA ends in 2027, I think we could see multi million dollar contracts in the WNBA for top players and continued growth of the average salary to 200-250K a year

The G League feeds into the whole NBA system itself though. The WNBA is low key a charity project.

Promoting the WNBA may not be the issue. Maybe y’all should just accept that the public doesn’t give a fukk about women’s professional basketball. You can’t make people care about shyt they don’t care about.

This is ahistorical as fukk, especially in this country. Hell, the NBA Finals used to be on tape delay.

There isn’t really a pay issue. Basketball is just entertainment. In the entertainment field, it’s about being a draw.

people don’t want to watch it
