WNBA players demand more money

So I looked at some of the rosters and salaries with one of my favorite websites.

Spotrac.com

Salaries with range from around 62k all the way up to 250k.

I mean given the drastic difference in NBA $$$ for rosters and viewers/revenue that seems pretty fair.

 

Whether anyone supports USWNT or not. At least they have won World Cups

 

They don't want fair, they want more.

 

The USWNT has plenty of bad faith crimes on its record.

 

Who are you, tinman?

The WNBA Players seems almost adversarial with the public.
Alot of them come off as a bit surly
(Well the ones that get alot of press)
Their marketing, Branding and Advertising maybe professional . .. . . even on point
but alot of the actually players can come off as unlikable . . . or at best indifferent

As it is being explained now . . ..

The WNBA loss 50 million this year - because the TV DEAL is for 45 million a season
NEXT YEAR that TV deal is suppose to move up to 200 Million a season
If the numbers hold. . . that mean they will go from a 50 million dollar loss to a 155 million dollar profit

To use your analogy
Imagine taking a 50 million dollar loss for 20 yrs
Then finally can make some profits
Then they people that have been paid the whole 20 yrs. . . now want more of the pie . . . ..
From the Owners perspective they want to eat 1st . . .let them enjoy some profit for a year or two
before spreading the wealth . . . get some of those losses back
From the Players perspective. . .they earned that 200 million dollar contract .. .its all them so they should get the most
or at least more of it

Just because a dogshit poster here does nothing but spam youtube vids doesn't invalidate the point.

 

If attractive OF models played basketball on 7-8FT rim simps all around the world would be watching and every player would make 8 figures

If people pay to watch females play video games they’ll pay to watch basketball if it’s entertaining enougb

 

I totally agree, but imagine if women's tennis, golf, soccer etc had to have a different fixtures and implements. Nets, holes, court/field sizes, etc.

It would be a significant impediment to the adoption of the sport. So much so you might even see people resenting its presence since it would start to interfere with the men's sports.

So far it feels like only softball has been able to get away with having its own "space" but the reason for that feels like it's largely due to title ix.
