It’s like a homeless person asking for change and gets mad when you give them 10 dollars. That WNBA executive has some nerve
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its not like that at all... Its more akin to an employee being upset with their bonus. In this case the executive has a right to be upset. The NBA owns 65% or 70% of the WNBA, that league has taken a major jump this season and as the majority owner you need to make sure you are putting in the resources needed to continue to push the growth. Clark and Reese are leading topics on national outlets a few times a week, they are making about as much per month as the G-league minimum. Go ahead and name the 12th man on the LA Defenders. Exactly. Nobody sitting on the outside can form an opinion here one way or the other besides the players are underpaid.
@@trainerrob1622just bc reese and clark are topics on tv doesnt mean anyone *actually* cares ab the wnba. Charity is exactly what it is
That's this season what about last year? The WNBA operates at a deficit. They focus on promoting the wrong things
@@trainerrob1622 dumb
When the Houston Comets rattled off 4 consecutive championships in the first 4 years of it's existence and STILL FOLDED 7 years later I knew then the WNBA would never explode.
If you can't generate permanent fan support from a dynasty then your league is doomed to fail.
Those were some great years. I was in the army and my boy and I would go back-and-forth because he was from Houston and I was from LA.
No what happened is the Houston comets previous owner sold the team and the new owner didn't want a wnba team but that was years before this new draft class came along
Especially in texas
if the wnba doesn't like what their getting then cut ties with the nba and go finance your own league, good luck 😂😂😂
that F’n league would last 2.3 seconds 😁
You really think the wnba is upset? 2 billion dollars. This is a made up argument.
They’re losing more money this year because they’re spending more money on things they didn’t earn
They don’t understand business lol
@@laudymadecam9467META loses a billion dollars on VR/AR a quarter…it might not work but there is absolutely a business reason to keep the WNBA going.
So true. They got chartered flights when they never made a profit.
Like NBA player . No reason to pay a basketball player,200 million
@@BigDic-qz8suthat league makes billions. That player is getting a negotiated cut of the profit because that league (shocker) makes a profit.
The WNBA is having their most popular season ever and still losing $50 million this season while the women are getting private jets? How does this make sense economically to anyone who has ever worked a job in their life.
Makes no sense. But expenses are higher then ever
Where is your $50 million number coming from if you’re willing to divulge? That’s 5 times its reported annual losses.
@fallibleangel9101 The video you’re commenting on.
@@TJWest-if3ny Thank you. Will watch in its entirety. That’s crazy if true. Definitely would like to know where the increase in expense came from.
They paid 50m for 2 years of charter flights with delta. They are still using chartered buses for games in close proximity. They didn’t actually purchase private jets for the teams.
I took my daughter to a WNBA game a few days ago; Washington vs Phoenix. It was camp night and if it wasn’t for all the camp kids there (group priced tickets) the arena would have been practically empty. Even with the camp kids there, the entire upper deck was empty. The WNBA needs a reality check. Caitlin Clark is the biggest draw and when she isn’t playing, no one is watching.
Basically, she is box office just as AR
News flash millions of us aren't watching even when she is playing
the ONLY games worth going to for the experience is Indiana Fever games.
We're not even watching when she plays. I've never seen her play.
Haha she isn't box office nobody cares about her the fever are a terrible team
Without the NBA the WNBA would be on Tubi. Its only 12 teams stop counting the person is feeding you pockets
Believe or not it is on Tubi. All games on ION broadcast live on Tubi. I watch all the time.
It wouldn’t even exist
Even the Lifetime channel got rid of their asses. That was already the beginning of the end right there.
I'm.dowb with it being on Tubi at least it will be free and u do realize Tubi is the most stream channel right now don't u?? Yep more than Netflix Amazon all of the big dogs Tubi is tops don't believe me check it out
Theres no projects on tubi that is losing 10m a year.
What other business operates at a loss for 30 years?
US Government
Every business Trump ever ran 😂😂😂😂
@@TheManOfTheHourEveryHour not only is that not even remotely true, but I know someone who lives rent free in your head.
@@Vito_Caligiuri it's 100% factually accurate. Cope harder you neo nazi 🤣
@@Vito_Caligiuri 🤣💯
They only have 12 teams. $200 million is more than enough. Way to much
Too*
What they both said but especially what rob said about the GFs/wives is facts. I pay more attention and watch more women’s sports than my gf or my female friends do, but they complain without knowing the underlying facts of the money and not caring to watch a single minute. The fact my guy friends and I are more excited about Caitlin Clark and angel Reese than the women around us is disconcerting
My wife been hating lately she says I'm paying them too much attention lol
Why would a woman who isn't interested in basketball start watching just because of Caitlin Clark? Some might initially, just to see what all the hoopla is about, but then fall off because they never had any real interest to begin with.
On the other hand, a man who loves basketball or sports in general is definitely gonna pay attention to CC because she is a phenom.
The WNBA complaining about 2 billion is WILD..
WelfareNBA. Losing $10 million/year every year of their existence. An 18 year old kid living with mommy and daddy playing video games in the basement till he's 53 years old is a better bargain.
👀😂
If look up the definition of ENTITLEMENT you will see a pic of the WNBA 🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ SQUAD UP
Facts nobody cares about the wnba if yall want more money get people to come to yall games and watch yall on TV
To answer this question: No!
Bruh, yall make good points but we talking bout women here. Women and logical don't go together.
Facts I remember Skylar diggins had the nerve to speak on Harrison Barnes making 24M a year and not being a all star.smh well skylar why don't you go and try to make a nba roster and see how that turns out 😂😂😂
WNBA is literally deadweight on the NBA and they have the nerve to ask for more money.
Women asking for more money from men? I'm SHOCKED 😱😄
They can’t survive with the NBA 😂 Antonio Brown said it best, WNBA is a charity for ….
Short answer: no
Long answer: yea.... no.
Let's be real. Women don't watch basketball. They rather watch baddies, real housewives, and the Kardashians
WNBA is really ungrateful
Like many welfare recipients.
These women are something else lol. The WNBA will never be profitable without the help of the NBA. The WNBA loses millions upon millions of dollars every year.. The women's game is just boring as hell and not marketable like the mens. I can't believe this is even a topic. All you watch in the women's game is lay ups and 3 point shots with a smaller basketball... No dunking, no crossovers, no crazy footwork, less athleticism, no posters, no crazy passes, no enough logo 3's, no alley oops, not enough true heated rivalries.... No nothing. It's just a less entertaining and a less enthusiastic brand of basketball. There are not enough true star power to elevate the league. I like Caitlin but she is one of the most overhyped athletes I have seen in a very long time and I'm a true sports head. She doesn't do anything extraordinary to be receiving all this hype she is getting. The WNBA needs the NBA and they should just accept it.
@ike.o6944 They will hate you for telling that truth
@@lbonds362 it is what it is… I’m have to speak the truth.
All of those college graduates and not one of those players understand economics smh
let me add, nobody want to watch a bunch of dude looking women... you might as well watch the NBA
19 assists in one game is pretty good.
The funny part is the biggest supporters of wnba that buy tickets and watch are men not women 😂
Not really if you really think about mostly why.
@@natureredux1957why?
This is the wnba once again getting on their own way .
LMAOOOOOO Facts!
NBA: Ladies, you owe us nearly $300 million in lost revenue, but we believe in you and will still stand with you with $200 million per annum
WNBA: Nuh- uh...value our worth! 🧐
Stop trying to reason to women fellas. They cant comprehend Logic
It was the logic of Women that sent men to the MOON.
@@natureredux1957hahaha
They should have built these space ships then
Paying the NBA back has never crossed their minds
It’s women nature to try and coastal a man’s success and this wnba situation is an example on a larger scale
Exactly!!!!!
Wnba divorces the nba and expect the house, cars and half of the nba earnings as alimony.
Time to cut out the charter flights again... 😂✈️ 😂
Shock women want money they haven’t worked for.
They should have taken Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark to the Olympics to help promote the WNBA globally. What a wasted opportunity.
The Olympic committee are not concerned about, nor should be, promoting the WNBA! They are trying to win gold.
@@Hooderaw Promoting the women’s game in general should play a role in the committee’s squad selection, especially when the USA team has won 7 straight gold medals winning on average by 16 points in Tokyo. It seems like a wasted opportunity to show case these two young superstars on the global stage.
@@jaydavid5546 They have the players on the Olympic team to promote the league. Caitlin and Reese didn't make the cut and that's ok. Besides, I'm sure the committee is also considering the toxicity of the majority of the new fanbase that came along with the CC and Reese fans clashing and that played a factor in them NOT getting a spot as well.
Reasoning money with most women is like expecting a fair deal at a child support court
The nba needs to stop subsidizing a failed business
Survive? We wouldn’t even know it EXISTED without the NBA trying to jam it down our throats and still we don’t watch or care. If I wanted to watch bad basketball, I could find a middle school game to go to this weekend.
Female nature
That question can only be answered by looking at its stand alone financials.
Bloodbath.
The wnba needs a series of reality shows that have a good bit of drama that also gives the public a glimpse into their lives. They need to find a way to get WOMEN invested using the entertainment culture that already exists. The precived animosity between Angel Reese and Kaitlyn clark coupled with good baskets is what really boosted their popularity.
Its like being in 100 Million dollar debt with 10 Million in your account. You got $ but you dont 😅😂
Dont be nice and say "carried them" etc. Call it out for what it is...charity
This is wildly disrespectful! These chicks are insane! They should be down on their hands and knees thanking the NBA for what they’ve done for that trash league.
How about NBA and WNBA stop working together so WNBA can negioate their own TV deals etc. The entitlement of the WNBA is outrageous and I hope Chris would talk about it on First things first so the message would become more mainstream.
They are talking like multiple WNBA teams haven't folded 🤣
How do you fold with a Houston comets dynasty that just won 4 straight titles?...that was a sign that this league might not work long term
@@ShawnReed-ny1hd Sacramento Monarch's had the highest tv ratings & still folded as well. Crazy
This is the problem with dealing with women, like Jason Whitlock said they're never grateful and think someone always owes them something smh.
Why is this even a topic? Hell no, they can't survive by themselves
If any other business performed like this then they would go under by the 3rd year. The audacity.
let the NBA walk away from the WNBA and see how that works out...I double dare them...the hubris is mind-blowing
Giving the WNBA more money makes it even more unwatchable
The wnba literally has zero value. If an asset loses money for 30 years almost it would have been closed down 25 years ago. It's a failing product and even more so this year because players are way overpaid
All i ever hear from the wnba and its players are complaints. Not once have i EVER heard a thank you. Thank you to the nba and its players for keeping the wnba alive and allowing Americans great women players to play in their home country.
It's a case of offering somebody a hand and said person ends up demanding the entire arm.
The WNBA should be kissing Clark’s feet, none of this would be happening if it wasn’t for her
And Angel Reese. People care about the rivalry, not just one player.
Dude did you not listen to the video..the WNBA is gonna lose 50 million this year.
That's because of the charter flights they added that tab otherwise they'd of had the same average loss @@CensorTube84
So why are they losing money if Clark is making it great
@@samcalven12means they would have lost a lot more without clark
The entitlement from this league is insane. They won’t learn how good they have it, unless the NBA drops them all together and lets them go negotiate their own tv and sponsorship deals. Reality will hit them real fast when they realize their true market value 🙄
Short answer: hell no! WNBA is and will forever be ungrateful for what the NBA has done to keep their business running.
Charity leagues can complain. This is like someone complaining about the food at a soup kitchen
Quite frankly, if I was an nba player, I'd speak to our union rep about this. Why is our money being siphoned out to a failing business!? Give us every dollar of revenue we generate. I'll decide personally what charities, if any, i want to donate to.
Why don't more women watch and support the WNBA? Doesn't make any sense, lots of women like to watch sports.
They should turn The Odd Couple into a new FS1 show
The Odd Couple is the best radio talk show (when Chris and Rob are both present), and it's not even close.
Say it like it is Chris, until the WNBA starts turning in a profit, it is literally a charity league.
Chris Broussard, can you tighten the bolt that holds your microphone mount onto the rest of the stand? It looks like it's ready to fall off.
Lol 😂😂
@jjmmat133 I wasn't saying it to be funny. I just work in the industry, but it does look crazy lol
Once Paige Juju come in . U got Aja Wilson as the. Dominant Old Kareem Role. CC and Angel - Bird and Magic. Then u got Paige And Juju - MJ and Isaiah Thomas
Aja is not old she still in 20s
😂😂😂 what yo
I'm curious how much cross ownership exists between NBA team ownership and wnba team ownership. That is a factor to be considered. But some larger taxed entitities most likely run subsidiaries at a loss so the parent co pays less in taxes. If wnba severs ties w Daddy Warbucks NBA it folds in under 5 yrs.
The delusion 😂😂😂
Imagine being in BUSINESS and LOSING MMMMMMILLIONS every YEAR for damn near THREE DECADES and asking for MORE money to LOSE even MORE MONEY !!!! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅 WTF ???????
It will never be enough for ungrateful people!!! Been there done that. If I'm the owner of the NBA i will let go and sell my WNBA shares. My money, my rules!
IM STARTING TO LOOK AT THESE NUMBERS SIDEWAYS. THE REAL QUESTION IS WHAT ADGENDA DOES THE NBA HAVE TO KEEP PAYING 10 MIL A YEAR? THERE HAS TO BE SOME SORT OF BENEFIT TO KEEP PAYING FOR THE LOSS YEAR AFTER YEAR
PR hit... these same feminist who don't watch the games or contribute to the women's bottom line would riot if the NBA stopped supporting.
Does it matter
Tax write off
Whenever you start a business, you sink money to grow. Now, i doubt they expected to still be running at a loss 30yrs later. Things contributing to continued investment could be hope it eventually becomes profitable and they could sell, wanting to help female athletes out, and stubbornness. It's not really about sound business decisions at this point.
Wnba equals entitled shocker lol. Nba should say.. okay go make your own money and go support yourself.
They don’t work as hard as Bronny…
He live rent free in your head huh
@@jjmmat133 bro it’s light hearted. I hope he does well, not actively root against the kid.
The WNBA has to put more butts in seats, sell merch, get more views, generate ad buys, and continue to have players like Caitlin Clarke, Angel Reese to help attract all of the above to their brand and they will get more salary. TheWNBA is David Sterns legacy, so the NBA has an interest in their success and continue support and compensate them according to market value, hence the lower salaries.
The women only play 40 games per season I need you guys to stop saying the women work just as hard as the man do because this is a bold face lie everybody is afraid to say the women don't work nowhere nearly as hard as man because they're afraid they're going to be canceled and called all these buzzword names because they're speaking facts
Possibly the dumbest economics question ever pondered
No. Just like women can’t survive without me.
The ladies are going to say, "it was a gift".
One of the criteria of a league being considered full of great athletes has to be how much money they can generate for said league
Lets get real would the national networks even want the WNBA on their TVs they only do it because they signed with the NBA. WNBA needs a dose of reality im for them venturing out on their own and see if they can go ahead and secure a deal that would cover all their operating expenses.
Everyone involved with the WNBA are so ungrateful and uneducated. The NBA just needs to get rid of the WNBA. It’s literally a clown show over there😂😂😂😂
WNBA suddenly overconfident bec of their high attendance and ratings 😂
Yea they better thank Angel Reese
Parker for the Win. We all know what it is. If equality is truly a thing, the WNBA would not act like they are owed when they know they have not earned it.
Rob made an awesome point...women don't support thier sports.. I asked my wife and daughter. " why don't you watch the wnba, it's pretty good" they were like "why"... that says everything...
Terry Jackson is Exec Director of the WNBA Players Association. She's wondering how the NBA came up with $2.2 B. Without more info, the number seems arbitrary. As an advocate for the players, why not 2.3 or 2.5 or more? In negotiations, it never hurts to ask.
Thats more than fair 2.2 billion
Where would they even play without NBA arenas?
😂 its wild cuz these are grown WOMEN and you have to explain this to them like your talking to children 😂
It’s called being ungrateful
I tried to watch when the season first started. They have no handles, take bad shots, not crazy athletic. Like they don’t offer nothing to watch.
Honestly the nba should have had say in clark being off the olympic team and the skills challenges
Well said Rob & Chris
Please let it fold. Then wont have to hear about equality and pay.
Imagine having enough money where you can afford to lose ten million dollars a year and other people care more about the loss then you ever could
It’s professional sports. They should compete and stop complaining.
Its her job to speak for a group of people not the NBA... applause to her
Huh😱seriously? Ok WNBA do your own thing😂🤣😂😂🤣see how that works for you 😂🤣😂
In real life if a buisness is loosing money the company closes the buisness
Breaking News: WNBA wants bigger handouts.
How can you expect more money when you are not making any money. No company sticks around for 29yrs without making a profit. Don’t put the cart in front of the horse!
If you're representing players you have to ask for more. The people put you in that position to fight for them
lol Imagine a child going to her parent like "I see how much money you make now that you got your raise. How did you come to the amount you're giving me for my allowance? I think you're undervaluing me."
People say caitlin clark only makes 76 thousand a year but makes millions in endorsement hell britney griner made 5.5 million dollars from endorsements last year.
How bout the NBA? Would it be here without the ABA? Fans keep depending on stats,rather than performing, it won’t have no one to save them.
I bet she was laughing writing this. She’s way off.
