i appreciate the opinions, topics, and research that you put in this video but respectfully disagree with majority of it
avery legall what specifically do you disagree with ?
Basketball Examined love the channel bro. Could u do a video on the narratives on Lonzo Ball or the lack of parody in the nba?
So well said. You broke it down with objective facts.
Would you mind if I posted this on my website? Giving you all credit, and directing people back to you.
i actually don't even watch tv anymore, however, this was a thoroughly broken down analysis. it is UN-debunkable
much props to ya!
This is like men complaining that they can't make it big being an Instagram model, stripper, etc.
Supply and Demand.
"But we still strip, and don't get payed as much as you! Why!?"
“Instagram models” lol
It’s because they don’t use makeup, fake tits, fake ass, photoshop, lip fillers, etc.
Fleury bigman you ok,
Garrett Friday it’s because Instagram models are followed mostly by men because they are attracted to the photoshopped pictures because they are too good to be true.
Your grammar probably sucks except cristiano ronaldo .. he is making it big as a model on instagram
Toyota Corollas are upset because people pay more for BMWs.
Love that analogy
John Dough ..... perfect 👌
Except that Corollas are damn reliable and good first time buyer cards... Other than that it's a good analogy. LOL
badge shaming....
A corolla has lower operating costs and has a higher reliability. It also depreciates less quickly. That being said, I'd choose the BMW 100% of the time why? because its more appealing, case in point the NBA is more appealing than the WNBA.
This video got more views than the WNBA
This shit actually made me lol

What does the patriarchy have against your brother? Or does your "brother" have a vagina?
Man you are insulting your brother's start-up by comparing it with ShitWNBA.
Eternal Reign so "patriarchy" makes women support the NBA more than the WNBA?!
@@eternalreign2313 it doesn't have nothing to do with having a dick or a vagina. It's about the popularity and what they cam offer. Meaning that the money the Apple (NBA) brings in is much bigger than BroTech" (WNBA). So yea it's basically the same thing said in the video..but you probably didn't watch it because it doesn't support your way of thinking..therefore being sexist, racist, homophobic, not an attach helicopter, bigot thinking.
I would rather watch your brothers play GI Joe with computer parts than a WNBA game.
There was social experiment done where a group of people were asked if they would rather have their city's WNBA team win the finals or find 5 dollars. 90% of those people would rather find 5 dollars lol
I'd rather lose $50.00 It would still be less painful.
pfffffffffft 90? Im positive its over 99
Zaza fuk Yo legs Pachulia is there a video?
10% of people are clearly idiots. even if you wanted an WNBA team. why would you pass up $5?
I know why you said 10 lol but 95 percent of people are clearly idiots.
Bro its simple they get paid less beacuse people would rather see 360 dunks than going airball on a layup
😂😂he said airball a layup 😂😂 that's funny af
They get paid less because the WNBA doesn't generation enough money
@@ChloeHotline Because no one goes and buys tickets and watch their games or give a fuck about buying their merchandise. Especially women, they do not support WNBA at all, its mostly older men watching their games lol... Its fucking sad. Women bitch about not getting support but the only the dudes support WNBA while their own gender doesn't give a flying fuck and only go to NBA games.
I love watching people miss wide open shot attempts, im the WNBA biggest fan
Lol
The NBA doesn't limit a player's gender. If they are 'talented' enough, NBA teams could draft women.
Also, even a lot of women don't even watch the WNBA. More women watch the NBA.
Women could not keep up with male nba players watch both you will know why.
The thing is talent or no talent most of the players can jump over the women and the women wouldn’t stand a chance
Let's just do it so that people finally get it.
When they're outgunned like that then maybe they'll experience the difference.
@@awelechukwuemeka1382 you know an NBA team actually considered drafting a woman once
@@ch66ry88 Wasn’t that a jxmyhighroller video? And Reggie Miller claims his sister is a better player than him, but the WNBA didn’t exist back then.
You could watch them play at a regular gym and no one would know.
Dang man that's the cold truth!
Invader Zim the truth hurts if you accept it
And even if announced by media, no one would care.
Wow. Never thought about that. Very true
That's actually pretty true, I know I wouldn't notice unless told so.
I have literally NEVER watched a single WNBA game in my life.... Who else?
Night Rider
womens college hoops isn't really that much better cause literally UConn wins damn there nearly every year. slightly intriguing when march madness comes around, every now and again you'll see a surprise buzzer beater from an unsuspecting no name school,but not nearly as much as you would if you watched the dudes
I have w- actually no I haven't that was a volleyball game.. lol but anyway all this blind wnba hate makes me want to watch it. Can't be any less masculine than the NBA, am I right? Amiright? Lolol
A total of 4 games because the Seattle storm was the best and won a championship, still garbage.
Ive watched one when i was like 7 or 8 when lisa Leslie played and ive been to 2 games back when we had the Detroit shocks(the tickets were free) i had a opportunity to go to a third game(free tickets again) but i remember sitting them down at a coney or sumthing and sayin somebody gon pick them up i wonder if someone did now i just watch maya moore from time to time
I thought the wnba was made to punish the men's league. Get a DUI you gotta attend 5 wnba games. Get caught with drugs, 7 games games and so on.
WNBA: theres a wage gap!
Me: well theres an entertainment gap too so...
...and a skill gap.
I got the #69 like
Owh..... gap burn......
The NBA even has better merchandise. I can honestly say that I've NEVER in-person seen a little girl, a young woman, or a grown woman wearing a WNBA jersey, WNBA t-shirt or any other WNBA apparel, but...I've seen plenty wearing NBA attire.
And a revenue gap. The wnba generate NO MONEY and don't turn a profit. They're literally funded by the NBA.
I’ve never seen a woman walking around wearing a WNBA jersey. They don’t even support each other.
“Wage Gap” ?.......the “Talent and Ability Gap” is the one and only factor.
Biological Gap as well
adult film is the opposite, same with wait staff.
Do the WNBA players have male IG THOTS? If not, not interested.
Are they kickn it witta Kardashian? If not, not interested. Are they bringing loaded guns to the games to settle gambling debts? If not, not interested.
Do they have State Farm Insurance commercials? If not, not interested.
So on some of the ancillary queries about the WNBA i find the league UNINTERESTING!!!
Are we seeing the beginning of the end of women's sports??🤔🤔🤔
Title 9 in college $1 spent on men's sports an equal amount $1 has to be spent on women's sports. Throw in the transgender issue females who were men and what do you get in the future is just Sports! No men's sports no women's sports! May the best person win!

I rather watch my grandma with Alzheimer’s mesmerize rap god than watch the WNBA

People talk so much about wanting equality without even knowing what equality actually is.
They don't want equality of opportunity, we have that already. What they want is equality of outcome.
Harry Garris Perfectly said.
yeah they want equality of outcome regardless of skill level lol..if they wanna make as much as the men then go play with them..unless they aren't good enough..lol
@@harrygarris6921 I never knew how to put in words but by god you did thank you im using that if you don't mind😊😊
Equality of outcome JUST for the sake of equality of outcome, the revenues actually generated be damned, is the polar opposite of actual equality, isn't it? I thought paying someone the same or more just because who they are as opposed to what they produce is the prejudice we've fought against for decades, isn't it?
"despite its independence, the WNBA still gets a $12M allowance from the NBA" - the words you're looking for is charitable donation or alimony to an ex-spouse. also, i love how the women have the gall to call out the men players (little man) and the men are like i'll let you leave this one unscathed.
How do WNBA players expect to get paid as much as nba players when the whole wnba doesnt even make as much as Lebrons single season salary
It doesn’t make as much as anybody’s annual salary... it loses money every year
Nah even the league doesn't even generate DeMarcus salary
the league doesnt even generate my salary and I make min wage xD they lose money
Maybe if they lowered the WNBA salary's for a bit and wait till they actually make some money then they can get paid more🤷♂️
The leages not as good as lebron

"Give us a larger share of the league revenue!"
"Ok, you're now in debt."

more in debt u mean. they already been losing millions lol
How is this not THE top comment
Comedy gold
That statement shows that they dont understand the economics of the league..the WNBA loses 10 million a year...asking to share in 10 million lose takes away money from the players
They now have to pay 75k a year to play in the WNBA
I was a former season ticket holder of the Seattle Storm from 2016 through 2019... I tried to enjoy it I really did ...... I even tried to get friends to go with me... But in the end I just couldn't enjoy it... But the final dagger WNBA fans for me ...... with a toxic feminist fanbase... The fans were very rude to me for showing up in Sonics gear... They basically called me sexist
😂😂 i can believe it.
I believe that.
I can believe that. Feminism is cancer
Their league LOSES 10-12 million dollars a year.......they're lucky to have a league to play in.
krazycat romero because they can’t sustain their own league without help.
krazycat romero because the nba pays the wnba debt every year
krazycat romero The NBA subsidizes the WNBA. They would not exist without those subsidies.
wnba is only kept alive for the sake of politics otherwise an industry losing that much money per year would NEVER be allowed to go on for this long
@krazycat romero dude if that happened the wnba would fold in a year or two

6 year 72 million for the WNBA tv rights? Sounds like an average nba player contract lmao
Hidden Bars no way Tf average gets 55 at most
-LordBacOn- The Great luol dent got 4 yr 72 mil
72 million divided by 6 years is 12 million per year, and the NBA matches that, so basically the MEN's NBA is donating 50% of the money that the women get, if the NBA said, NO MORE FREE MONEY to the WNBA, then all the WNBA players would see their pay cut in half, and these women feel they have the right to complain about the amount of money they get paid in comparison to the men who play in the NBA?!!?!?
Keep bitching and complaining, and watch the NBA say, MONEY GO BYE BYE, and withing months the WNBA would go bankrupt.
But the NBA uses the WNBA for a source of cred as a progressive organization. The NBA also put possible competing leagues out of business. The NBA gets value out of the WNBA beyond the balance sheet and that is worth something too.
That's barely a good NFL contract

I remember watching this great video and your other one related to this topic awhile back. I just tried searching for it again and RUclips's search algorithm kept serving me pro WNBA propaganda nonsense. What a joke. I wish the mainstream media and journalists would try to present facts instead of having clear biases and pushing their political agendas. I'm really thankful we have RUclipsrs like yourself presenting nothing but cold hard facts.

No bet, just facts.
Many women go to sports to be seen... Who is gonna see them in the WMBA?
Benjamin Ko, That BRUTALITY!
Look at World soccer, US college football and basketball vs club soccer, the NFL and unless is court side seating the NBA...... Women are filling the stands when and were they can be seen by cameramen and by other women. Thats it. The pro athletes who are not lesbians often are very firty and have this "look at me, in very hot, athletic and fun to be around" attitude. I see that in female pro tenins, soccer and field hockey players all the time and of course in gymnastics and cheerleaders, Its the modern alternative to be a dancer, showcasing your athletic genes to men. They often marry other athletes. So athletic genes get reinforced in their children. Basketball is odd since all the GOATs seem to be lesbians.
i think he just said that dumbass
They should pay NBA dancers more than WNBA players.
I'm sure they do
ANDREW KLEMMER Actually, sadly, no, they don't. The NBA dancers, as well as NFL cheerleaders, get paid dismally, compared to most other dancers. If anything, THOSE ladies have a valid case for seeking better pay.
Some barely make $100 a game. I'm not kidding. They do see their travel costs covered, but sports leagues expect these dancers and cheerleaders to make their money in other ways, like showing up at promotional gigs.
Even though most sports dancers and cheerleaders have second jobs. That's not even counting the amount of time they spend for training, tryouts, and workouts. It's absurd, really. Billion-dollar leagues could do better here.
So, yeah, I'm a guy, here to say: Pay these ladies better!
GM pick nobody wanna see lesbians acting like dudes
Lroy Johnson. Dude I agree maybe you didn’t comprehend what I wrote. Read it slowly to yourself again. 😀
The probably do. And I bet feminazis will target them just like they did with the F-1 grid girls.
I'll never get payed as much as lebron James because I'm physically incapable of reaching his skill level that doesn't mean I'm oppressed
Nah son you're oppressed. 😉
Don't feel bad. Physically incapable or not, Between Lebrons NBA salary, his business and his endorsements, he makes more money in one minute than most people see in an entire year. If someone wants to bitch about a ridiculous salary, that's the one to bitch about. By comparison, were all under the shoe 🤣
i couldnt think of a username don’t play like lebron. Create your own style, you can focus your talents on shooting like curry or crossing like Allen Iverson. Women just need to own what they have, and raise it to new heights

g4meboy13 If ur talking about the top players of each league, defensively the men would have to be dialed in the whole game because it's 3 on 5, but if they are, they could make enough stops just by pure athleticism i would think. Offensively, the women would still just get overwhelmingly outmatched. Even if it was Lebron vs 5 of the top wnba players, there's no way in hell they're stopping him driving to the basket without fouling him
Rice Waster Aleks yes he’s good compared to them
Just like in boxing (all fighters don't get paid the same), it's about viewership and putting asses in seats. If the demand isn't there, the pay won't be the same!
Boxing West it’s just simple economics
If female boxers were men, they'd have the skill to compete with the men.
If WNBA basketball players were men, they'd be second string G-League players at best.
@@IncredibleMD *high school
Its not a “wage gap” because the NBA and WNBA are two separate entities of corporation. They are two different businesses, owned by separate people, as separate franchises. Thats like saying theres a wage gap between a google employee and Mcdonald’s employee. You just cant do it cause they are non-equatable
Great point!!!

If they are not generating enough money for the absurd salaries the NBA does where do they expect the money to come from to match them?

Not really, her and her sister lost against a 203rd ranked male tennis player named Karsten Braasch. It was almost a shut out for both of them. He even reported playing worse than his first professional match.
Watch out bro, the video might get taken down for mansplaining. lol
So.... Basically using facts and logic is mansplaining? Makes sense to me.
Andrew Spencer Sadly it is the arrogance through which certain people say that these facts are BS or not true because it's being told by a man. Or because most of these conclusions were made by a man.
@@freakycool1239 exactly
Andrew Spencer also makes a lot of sense to women
Gg
So there is a wage gap. But, its the WNBA players who are way overpayed not the NBA players.
They should lower the rim, that would create more highlights and maybe grow their ratings.
#wnba #lowertherim
T-Mac suggested that to a WNBA player while they were on ESPN's The Jump and she was insulted by the idea of it.
So, when they don't have their jobs anymore, at least they won't have bowed to this misogynistic society (sarcasm)
João Paulo yeah. It's a well known fact that female athletes aren't better jumpers than men. That's why female Olympic hurdles are shorter than the males
but yet the ball smaller lol
It's not a sad reality. It's reality. They play shorter seasons, shorter games. Less revenue, less skilled. Less exciting. They should consider themselves lucky to get paid 70k for 4 months of work
That's a good point ... Each WNBA team plays just 34 games in a reg season compared to an NBA team's 82
Watching 2 minutes of a WNBA game will explain it better than this 20 vid.
The Williams' sisters know better than to consider women's sports equal to men's sports in terms of popularity, skill, and excitement. The fact is the best women's WNBA players of all-time could NOT beat any men's college basketball team and would hard pressed to even beat any high school boys' team.
Its like no name male pornstars asking why they dont make as much as riley reid
Uncrowned actually, gay male porn-stars make the most. Followed by bi-women, then les women, then straight women, then bi men, and lastly straight men.
Brandon Johnson whoosh
The numbers I found from a 2016 Esquire article of a “large porn production company” are: (all of these numbers are minimums) $300 female solo, $800 lesbian scene, $1000 for female straight scene...males, $200 straight sex, $500 gay sex...camera operators, $500-$700 per shoot.
I was going to take the porn route.
@@mattfraser9731 I would be ok with being the camera operator every time. No chance of an STD that way and u still make big money
Woman’s volleyball is pretty much the only female sport I watch and we all know why 🍑
😂 😂 😂 😂
Yeah , Beach Volleyball !
Hell yeah! Shake that rump nectar for me ladies! lol
Honestly volleyball is pretty fun to play and I'm a dude lmao.
Thats what I always say, women's volleyball was just invented for that. There is a reason why they wear shorts you almost cant see and bend over before every play
I would rather watch a scoreless MLB game with 25 extra innings instead of WNBA
Lol🤣
Alex Chain reading this was more exciting than a wnba game
You can die from alcohol poisoning in 34 innings.
I like a good scoreless game
Shit, that sounds like a good game assuming its a pitching duel. I'd rather watch that than an average NBA game, much less WNBA, lol
14:32 has to be the saddest victory I've ever seen
If they keep on whining the NBA should pull the plug.
No, the NBA should offer to GIVE the league to the players association. Make the ladies turn down the offer for obvious reasons. This would make a bigger statement.
because society is slowly trying to condition everyone to accept equality of outcome (which is some commie bullshit).
Yup i agree
@Mejor Toler no investor, male or female, would put their money there.
@Mejor Toler 👍
LeBron doesn't get paid to miss practice dunks.

Simple logic: you can't demand more money if there's no profit 🤷♂️
It's not sexism. It's just how business works.
NO NO NO its sexist. And you're a toxic man for stating facts. How dare you.

Its sarcasm. Big time
@@Truck-kun_01 He said *stating facts* reread comments sometime big clues and sorry for replying
@@oof3479 my bad, it's just that I've been seeing similar comments lately and I thought they were trolling but they were really adamant in defending their statement
There’s literally AAU teams that’ll run through the WNBA 😂😂
Any Top 100 High School Recruit would be an MVP in the WNBA. Most of those kids don't even make it to the NBA.
You’re giving them too much credit, I think a solid 5 from your local rec or YMCA could give a WNBA team a run for their money.
Facts don't care about your feelings...
Definitely a Ben Shapiro fan xD
Grumpy Munchkins Comedy & Gaming ok, this is epic. Can we troll libtards epic style?
@IDTMWS I'm a Ben Shapito fan as well
Put this comment on S shirty
Okay, this is epic
If you have trouble sleeping just watch the WNBA
Too funny. Laughing out loud...for realz
A sleeping pill plus a boring wnba game you will be out cold zzzzz lol
That's the truth. Not a joke. Pure truth.
The WNBA is the original ASMR.
😂😂😂😂
Haha....it's not the NBA's fault that no one wants to go to a WNBA game.
"Pay us like you pay the men." to which the only reply needed is, "Bring in the money the men do."
It just baffles me how anyone in sports can't get around that one simple concept. It's only a pay gap because they're not selling the tickets. You have average ticket price of just under $17 for the WNBA versus $78 for the NBA and the WNBA games aren't bringing in the money from all the other sources as the NBA is.
It won't matter if they work harder than the men if they can't bring in the money. This isn't sexist either. There's plenty of female fans who care nothing for the WNBA.
Yeah those idiots think equality means "being entitled to EVERYTHING other people have"
While we're teaching men not to rape, we should teach them to like the WNBA.
Eternal Reign get the fuck out of here with that bullshit. Teach people about God first.
or "start playing as good as the men then"
Eternal Reign Teach? Give us a reason to want to sit down and watch it...stop commenting on everyone’s comment, your just making yourself look desperate.
I’m not gonna lie, I’m not the biggest fan of basketball, but your videos make it interesting to learn about its commercial history. Keep up the great work
You made a 25 min video on something that could be literally explained in 20 sec. Let me help you save some time. NBA...makes money. WNBA...doesn't. Done.
Walt Thomas in bold letters. Then roll credits.
It's more about the sheer scale of the delusion.
Put those hardheaded bitches back in the kitchen
People just dont want to believe it. You have to hit them over the head with it.
If you don't appreciate nuance and can't handle in-depth discussion don't click.
The most articulate roasting session I've ever seen.
I am also reading the comments and laughing.
The WNBA players are finding out there's no Title 9 in the real world.
Economics rule in the real world . Nike tried to give some of them shoe contracts but, when the came out fathers stopped buying the shoes. I think Candace Parker is doing well but she is straight . Imagine if Klay and Durant talked about how many women they slept with in the past year , they might lose some contracts. Keep your private life private.
17:30 damn a only woman’s league has a toxic environment who could’ve guessed 😂
Lol i love it . Feminism imploding
I would rather watch a game of amateur golf in 0.25 speed
You aren't already? You don't know what you're missing. It's what I watch when it's my turn to watch the paint dry. I wouldn't recommend it for beginners though. Only us savvy vets can do both at the same time.

A guy who works at some McDonalds could beat a WNBA superstar in a 1v1
Lowkey just pick up some colored guy from a street court and theyd drop a wnba superstar by 50
@@ivanstruzia113 why does it have to be colored?
that would be me
@@mr-vb3id blacks are better at basketball ball than whites it's fact I'm not trying to be racist the reason is most blacks kinda need sports or music to make it out the hood cause they need a high paying job to get their family out of poverty
Ivan Struzia I’m a colored guy and I don’t know if that’s an insult but that’s funny 😂
WNBA players make more than I will ever make in my life. No issue here just a bunch of grown women that want that NBA life.
#FACTS
Watching the WNBA gives me the exact same feeling as when I watch a female stand up comedian.
30% of $0 and 50% of $0 is both zero
Lol
well it's actualy 30% of -10mil a year so...they'd be owing 3mill ;)))
@@nolajoe580 yeah players should actually pay the WNBA to join
nola joe 10 mil a year? lol they earn more than that in revenue I believe, but not near enough to be profitable.....
Lol 😂 so true
With the popularity of the WNBA it should be pay-to-play.
The uniforms in the wnba are literally billboards.
This is true for just about every sports league in the world, outside of the the NFL, MLB, and NHL. Even the NBA have corporate sponsor patch on their uniform now.
@@finisher3x not to the extent of the wnba. A majority of the teams uniforms don't even have the city or team names on them. Just the sponsor. Imagine a Lakers jersey that said Kaiser Hospital across the front. I'm never seen that in any league
Yes you have. Have you watched ANY professional soccer game? None of them have their city's name as the main focal point of their uniform. It's always the name of their major sponsor, with the team's logo/crest/etc on a small patch on the uniform.
Darren Gordon-Hill . . . or any other sport outside of America
They need shorter shorts so they jump and move better fr fr
