@@cybertop20 The number you’re looking at for the WNBA is revenue. That’s not profit. Profit is revenue minus expenses and taxes. The WNBA has never made a profit in their 25 years in business.
@@cybertop20 There was a time when NBA players were making so little that they had to have jobs in the offseason.

What outrage??? You get paid depending on the revenue you bring in. Cut that "outrage" bs. If you are a feminist reading this, the best thing you can do is buy seasonal tickets for your home team and buy their merch. Support with action.
Even hardcore lesbians would prefer to watch the NBA over the WNBA. The best thing they can do, as you stated, is support the league and help it grow and expand. What they really want is handouts.
@@elhajjmalikel6266As a woman who understands basic math and revenue sales, I agree. Id also like for them to shut up about it. What's not to understand. I don't watch the WNBA and neither do these loudmouths🤷🏽♀️
Well yes, and her projected draw/viewership will dwarf the huge majority of NBA. So why she's making less than 6 figures really makes no sense. How does the NBA make the majority of their revenue? Viewership, and ticket sales. Who is the biggest draw right now in basketball? Caitlin Clark. You understand her college games gets more viewership than NBA FINALS right? You literally need to go back HALF A DECADE to find an NBA FINALS that gets more viewers than Caitlin Clarks game.
@libfit9068 the WNBA players have a collective bargaining agreement. They get paid on the current numbers. The current numbers the league operates at a $10 million a year LOSS. Going forward will viewership numbers rise.. will attendance rise MAYBE. You are talking about the numbers of a college championship game. Those numbers were FANTASTIC good job by the women. No way to predict what the WNBA will do..but based on past seasons..numbers are terrible. Even if they improve...the cost of the WNBA League pass is $34.99. For every game of every team the whole season. Right now the business is not profitable or viable and is subsidized by the Men's league. Instead of being outraged...everyone should right now either sing up for the League Pass or get season tickets for a local team. Besides some these ladies picked in the first round will make MILLIONS in endorsements. Complaining about their league salaries right now makes ZERO SENSE and smells of fake outraged sensationalism by non sports fans that just repeat what they hear because it sounds good. Steph Curry gets paid millions because he makes Bilions for the owners that pay him. Instead of being outraged let's support these women by buying tickets and / or watching the games. THAT is how they will start making real $$. Not by silly protests.
@@libfit9068 nice and the WNBA has never had a profitable year in it's history while the NBA makes billions. Clark isn't going to change that fact. She will also get plenty in endorsements. The WNBA is nothing more than a virtue signal by the NBA.
She is still making $76K. Most working people don't even make that. They have the nerve to complain. Why do they need to "supplement" their income? That's such a slap in the face to everyday people.
The outrage should be coming from the men, not the women. NBA players receive 41% of the $10.58 billion dollars the league made in revenue last season. To be “equal” that same standard should be applied to the WNBA and their $200 million revenue, which would pay an average salary of about 4K to each player. Fair is fair, to say the women deserve more money only displays ones ignorance on the subject.
The NBA has 30 teams playing a 82 game regular season. The WNBA has 12 teams, this year, playing 40 games each. The NBA's TV deal pays $2.8 billion whereas the WNBA gets $65 million. The NBA gets $93m per team or $1.1m per team/per game. The WNBA gets $5.4m per team or $135k per team/per game. I would image all other revenue numbers are also this far apart. It would be nice for the women to make more but it's going to take way more fans, higher ratings, and time to get to any sort of equality.
It's impossible for this same subject to come up again and again. At this point I have to believe it's just wilful stubbornness now, like deliberate refusal to accept reality.
Look if the young lady becomes the first WNBA player to fill a stadium regularly, or whatever it is called in basketball I don't watch sports, then more power to her to negotiate a higher wage. Until that happens there isn't much negotiating room.
02:08 my guy had to get on here and throw us under the bus for no reason. The WNBA has been a joke for a long time, maybe that’s the fkn reason we don’t watch. Eff this guy
@@libfit9068What delusional business school did you attend where you got the idea anyone should be paid 7 figures for their participation in a wholly unprofitable enterprise? You understand the WNBA isn’t a non-profit organization, right?
@@libfit9068 It's very simple. The NBA makes billions of dollars a year while the WNBA has never been profitable. The WNBA is subsidized by the NBA since the WNBA has lost money every year of it's 25 or so year existence.
You don’t learn about the relationship between operating revenues, expenses, and profit margins in 5th grade. If you made it past high school, you would know this.
It's hard to take interest in a pay inequality argument that focus's on people who excel in a sport while most common folk work two or more jobs for most of their life and still retire in poverty,
People that work typically make enough revenue to support and maintain their business. The exception comes from government jobs. The WNBA has never once had a profitable year in its existence. It loses money every year, the fact that the league still exists is dependent on the subsidies from the NBA. WNBA players should be thankful for what they have, because any other business or league would have folded years ago.
I grew up in Houston and the world famous Comets was a party when I watched thier games at the summit. Nowadays thier should be a lot more money 💰 coming in. He's right. People need to support women's sports a lot more
The WNBA has NEVER made a single penny! The WNBA lost 13 million dollars last year, they average losing 10 million per year, every year. It is because of the NBA's generosity that there even is a WNBA. Until the WNBA can stand on their own merits and create positive revenue they have nothing to complain about. They are at the moment, a charity.
WNBA shouldnt be playing in NBA arenas - problem #1 - when NBA started, they didnt have largest and expensive arenas. Need more WNBA teams in smaller markets (states/cities) without a professional team - Iowa was a great example
Its not a charity, the pay of teams are determined by number of sponsors, which in turn are determined by a number of eyeballs watching the sports. Fact of a matter is WNBA has failed to correctly market the sports events for women who are the target audience for these sports. No misogyny involved, just general incompetence.
If this happens then we need to also make pay equal for WNFL and NFL, then work our way down to college football players to get paid the same as NFL players, have high school football players come out and say they aren't getting paid anything so they need to earn the same as college football players, and finally anyone playing football should be paid the same as high school football players because equality.
And also. Stop comparing the WNBA to the NBA. They literally use different formats. They are incomparable. They are not the same. The NBA and WNBA is different just like how the NBA and say MLB is different. There’s also a “wage gap” between an average NBA salary and an average MLB salary but guess what, we don’t start complaining about a fictional pay gap in an industry that doesn’t work like a normal job.
Why do people insist on trying to make this men vs. women? Most WNBA players make more than the G League players, who are men. And that’s because even fewer people attend those games. Plus, how much more do NBA players make now than players did when the league was only 26 years old? It took Magic and Bird to rekindle interest in the NBA. Perhaps Clark and Reese can do the same for the WNBA.
It is an entertainment business. In equivalent, we have a whole panel here, talking about how a group of actors not getting pay enough. Is this affecting average Americans' everyday life? while we have people dying of crime, narcotic, diseases, traffic accidents, potential Boeing aircrafts crashing.
Am i missing something or are they comparing college to the the pros because if so woman's college basketball has been out pacing the wnba for a while not just this year
But doesn't the pay difference between the NBA and the WNBA come from how much money each brings in? That said you can' t compare the 2. On top of that with this great chance to promote the WNBA with Caitlin coming on board all I hear from the WNBA players is a lot of hate towards Caitlin. They should be embracing the attention she brings.
You guys say a woman can do anything a man can do, send Caitlyn to the NBA if she can get any club 4 rings like Curry she will get 400 million like Curry.
All ya all better be buying up them WNBA league passes and merch, because everyone knows you aint going the the games. To actually "support" the greatest league in the world.

Male reality star Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino should get paid as much as female reality star Kim Kardashian even though she has 100 times more viewers.
A better discussion would be women's (and men's) salaries in other professions compared to sports. In most other professions it's a miracle if you get to $200-$300k/year, and for many it's impossible just getting to six figures...
Talk percentages of total revenue... If we're talking pay differences based on gender. Why not discuss where the money they earn comes from? Allow me. The Revenue comes from Ticket sales, Concessions, Merchandise sales etc... Where do ticket sales and merchandise sales come from? Those come from Fans. Where do fans come from? Fans come to the game for entertainment. It's fair to assume that the more entertaining something is, the more people will want to participate. Is a layup as entertaining as a posterizing Slam Dunk??? .... NOW.. How many fans are attending the average WNBA game? Now compare that to the NBA.... As difficult as it is to hear, or believe... If there's a pay gap, It's the men that are being cheated. NBA Players get a tiny percentage of the total generated revenue when compared to their WNBA counterparts. If you bring in more $ you make more $. Any debate here is just an indicator that 54% of Adults in the U.S. can't read at a 6th grade level.
If these feminists and their supporters want the wnba players to get paid then they should just go ahead and support them instead of making all these excuses
Yeah, that's the thing, most women don't care about sports and those who do, care about the top level men's game (like men do). That's the reality of all sports fandoms, they watch because they want to see the best human beings at that sport, not the best of a particular gender. No one is interested in most lower male leagues either. Some women's sports do have some prestige and create multi-millionaire female athletes like tennis and MMA, but even then, it's not on the same level as the top men. Serena Williams was a great female tennis player, but she and her sister got their asses whipped by some chainsmoking German dude ranked #203 among men in a mixed match.
what you are paid is what you are worth, simple reality. how about womens' pro hockey, should we feel sorry for them also? Geuess who else doesn't get any interest, the LPGA. Most people want to the best in sports, usually it's men.
This is such an uneducated, lazy argument that it doesnt even make sense..If it wasnt for the NBA the WNBA would of folded already..They pay the losses of the $10 million a year this league hemorrhages....In over 2 decades of existence today only half the teams in the league are even profitable but they should be paid more...WITH WHAT? HOW? ..The same people not watching or going to the games and the reason they make nothing are also asking for them to be paid more...SMH..Careless, lazy, sorry a** reporting is what this is
So weird how no one cared about and even pushed back against the pay gap until Caitlin Clark, no one is calling her a man, asking for birth certificates, wondering where she got money to wear Prada, calling her out for being disrespectful to other playings during games. This country is pure hypocrisy.
1. She isn’t. The Gatorade commercials proved that. 2. NIL deals and endorsements 3. Everyone is competitive on the court which I encourage and the stuff you think Caitlin Clark does that is disrespectful is lightweight compared to any of the other players that got the spotlight. You were on the right track that no one cared about the pay gap because you didn’t have a generational until Caitlin came around and that’s why this whole pay gap dilemma is coming at it again which can only be solved by new people going to the games which she will grab those people to come watch her play. You were getting the point and then you went completely off the rails in your take.
The argument is, that it’s simple business. The WNBA doesn’t generate as much revenue.

If women college basketball so great then why it doesn't translate to the wnba like top college men di fir the nba
No one watches these
people with Vaginas. No one would know if it would not be in our daily propaganda.
A better discussion would be women's (and men's) salaries in other professions compared to sports. In most other professions it's a miracle if you get to $200-$300k/year, and for many it's impossible just getting to six figures...
Not the same game, sorry. Women play below the rim.
Talk percentages of total revenue... If we're talking pay differences based on gender. Why not discuss where the money they earn comes from? Allow me. The Revenue comes from Ticket sales, Concessions, Merchandise sales etc... Where do ticket sales and merchandise sales come from? Those come from Fans. Where do fans come from? Fans come to the game for entertainment. It's fair to assume that the more entertaining something is, the more people will want to participate. Is a layup as entertaining as a posterizing Slam Dunk??? .... NOW.. How many fans are attending the average WNBA game? Now compare that to the NBA.... As difficult as it is to hear, or believe... If there's a pay gap, It's the men that are being cheated. NBA Players get a tiny percentage of the total generated revenue when compared to their WNBA counterparts. If you bring in more $ you make more $. Any debate here is just an indicator that 54% of Adults in the U.S. can't read at a 6th grade level.
how about letting women play first then the male next in sports like soccer, volley ball idk
Now that a white woman is in the spotlight
I haven’t seen any of you guys at the game, well, I was not there either.
If these feminists and their supporters want the wnba players to get paid then they should just go ahead and support them instead of making all these excuses
Yeah, that's the thing, most women don't care about sports and those who do, care about the top level men's game (like men do). That's the reality of all sports fandoms, they watch because they want to see the best human beings at that sport, not the best of a particular gender. No one is interested in most lower male leagues either.
Some women's sports do have some prestige and create multi-millionaire female athletes like tennis and MMA, but even then, it's not on the same level as the top men.
Serena Williams was a great female tennis player, but she and her sister got their asses whipped by some chainsmoking German dude ranked #203 among men in a mixed match.
"Ridiculously low"
what you are paid is what you are worth, simple reality. how about womens' pro hockey, should we feel sorry for them also? Geuess who else doesn't get any interest, the LPGA. Most people want to the best in sports, usually it's men.
For every sport except (I believe) endurance swimming, it's men.
And females players look alot better than they use too lol
Question she had the chance to get 5 mill for 1 year.. she declined it soooo is it men or them
Go play overseas make more money let's see if you're happier there
Salary is related to ticket sales. Nobody is buying WNBA tickets.
Nobody is watching through television
Women don't watch it
This is such an uneducated, lazy argument that it doesnt even make sense..If it wasnt for the NBA the WNBA would of folded already..They pay the losses of the $10 million a year this league hemorrhages....In over 2 decades of existence today only half the teams in the league are even profitable but they should be paid more...WITH WHAT? HOW? ..The same people not watching or going to the games and the reason they make nothing are also asking for them to be paid more...SMH..Careless, lazy, sorry a** reporting is what this is
So weird how no one cared about and even pushed back against the pay gap until Caitlin Clark, no one is calling her a man, asking for birth certificates, wondering where she got money to wear Prada, calling her out for being disrespectful to other playings during games. This country is pure hypocrisy.
because she's a millionaire. NIL & sponsors, she has made millions over the last two years.
1. She isn’t. The Gatorade commercials proved that.
2. NIL deals and endorsements
3. Everyone is competitive on the court which I encourage and the stuff you think Caitlin Clark does that is disrespectful is lightweight compared to any of the other players that got the spotlight. You were on the right track that no one cared about the pay gap because you didn’t have a generational until Caitlin came around and that’s why this whole pay gap dilemma is coming at it again which can only be solved by new people going to the games which she will grab those people to come watch her play. You were getting the point and then you went completely off the rails in your take.
