Why don't WNBA players STFU about getting NBA player salaries?

[Cynic]

I should neg you
You don't have to watch it then, let those sisters get paid for being highly skilled

I respect Damien for speaking out, said this for the last decade shyt is not alright at all

Damian Lillard Speaks Out On WNBA Player Salaries

Imagine being 1% of a talent/skill,

Then coming to the realization that because you are a woman, you are going to get paid not 10x but 100x less than the average male version of you

1% of gamers make more, 1% everything I can possible think about make more than the average WNBA player

The fact more of them aren't infuriated by this.. because the business model clearly is failing to bring an actual crowd to it

It’s a crap product so men won’t watch. There’s no drama so women don’t care.

They would have to make into a reality tv to get those female viewers.

 

[Shoog Shatmi]

They should only let attractive women play. They would get a lot more male and female viewers.

Damian Lilards 2017 salary is 50% of the entire revenue of the WNBA he needs to STFU or donate half his salary so the league can pay them.

The PRODUCT is failing to bring in a crowd. It's uninteresting and that is shown by how many people show up to the games.

The NBA brought in 7.4 BILLION last season. The WNBA brought in 51.5 million. They brought In 2/3 of ONE PERCENT the NBAs revenue so it seems fitting to me that they get paid 100x less than the men.

Also note that the bench warmers on the worst NBA teams would beat the WNBA all stars 100 out of 100 times if they played.

I’ve watched maybe ten minutus of WNBA basketball my entire life

Women make up 50% of the population. Why aren't women supporting women?

Real talk women talk bad about the WNBA and how many of the women in the league look like men. Women dog out the league even more than men.

Second of all....last I heard pretty much all the WNBA teams lose money.

The NBA is just tries to take up all causes as a means of good faith and good PR directed towards the fans. The reason for this is because they are a majority black league with all the stars being black. Plus the league has compensated the lose of white fans with international fans over the years.

Think of all the causes the NBA takes on MLk day, black history month, womens month, Chinese New Year, Latin Heritage month, NBA Cares, recycle month, WNBA, partnership between communities and cops, Lean In..supporting women and etc and etc. No other league does this.

So the NBA always focuses on positive PR unlike say MLB and NFL who almost don't even give a shyt about good PR. Cause the white fans are going to always be there since there are white stars for them to support in both leagues.

 

[Originalman]

Look I am all for equal pay for women but this shyt a lost cause.

This shyt is like me saying I should make as much as the VPs and CEO of the company I work for

Even though the VPs and CEO bring in billions of dollars to the company and I dont even bring in 1% of that.

[ManBearPig]

The WNBA is Weeeeeeaaaaaaaak

If nobody watches or give 2 shyts about it then why should they get paid big time?

 

[Killigraphy]

She still doesn't get it....


You bring in very little revenue which trickles down to who the fukk is willing to pay to see these trash games go on. It simply isn't going to happen. There's no big draw. 20% of a small pie is still good...

 

[Darts]

Why can't they dress like these nice ladies?

Lol it doesn't even have to be this extreme, why can't they wear short shorts that even MEN used to wear back in the day...instead of the lame baggy shyt

 

[Kinguno]

Thing that bothers me the most is that their league is ran by money from the NBA stolen from the players so them new TV deals that Bron & KD (using those two because of their star power in relation to how most nights there's a east coast game then a west coast game that doesn't end until 1:45 am and I'm not staying up to watch the Kings or Magic) basically worked for almost a decade for money from that was diverted from there to run the WNBA

NBA is crooked last season when Chris Paul moved to the Rockets I found out NBA players get even less than their contract is because the NBA has an escrow system where 10% of their contracts is on hold and if the players make more somehow all that money is divided by the owners in 2015 it was around 218 million do the math

WNBA also ruins arenas by stealing them the New York Liberty could go play at the Westchester County Center not MSG

You can’t make more if you don’t generate more it has nothing to do with them being women
If it wasn’t for the nba this league would’ve been folded
