Exactly! I've never heard of a business thats NEVER generated a profit in damn near 20 years, and still keeps getting checks to keep them afloat! They should take whatever the NBA is offering them and be grateful they even got an increase in their budget at all.
They have this delusion that they should be getting paid close to what NBA people make but the key difference is the NBA generates billions of dollars every year. WNBA has never generated any profit whatsoever, if this was any other company or business their parent company would have shut their doors a LONG time ago.
@@jamalswift9700they r failing, if no one was watching ur games and ur sport ur failing ur job. Its like a Film Director makes a tv show but if no one watches that show the director failed at their job
Could you imagine a homeless person coming to you asking for change, you give them $2 and they say, "That's it? You need to do more. This is a lowball." That's what this is. You can't tell your help HOW you want the help!
I had a homeless woman say that she was hungry - at 5 in the morning... I was about to give her a bottle of luxurious alkaline water and she told me that she didn't want it - she wanted food! I just took my water and left.
Its not all that insane actually. Miller is using projections for wnba ratings and viewership and variety of other growing metrics that indeed indicate a significant boom in the future. However, she was ultimately asking for monies to completely cover the leagues expenses, which is actually what the league has already been doing. Idk why she wants the nba to permanently fund them after a suspected boom tho. There was a cool article on this.
$60 million is welfare, $180 million is more welfare. They should tell the players what their salary would be without NBA subsidy. But that would involve economics. The WNBA players who went overseas were gettting $$$ - that was paid by people based on THEIR ECONOMICS.
That dude is such a simp. I got a wife, mother, and daughter. They deserve the truth about that terrible league. No one is still watching and we know it. The media can gaslight all they want .
He makes all black man look weak because he's scared to open his mouth you can tell he don't run a damn thing in his household but whatever they tell him to do and he thinks it's cute

@@NYKnicks33you should go to a game they have two stars in alyssa thomas whose a better version of Draymond Green and dewanna bonner who is still a big time scorer. jones the center is also a beast
Here’s the deal,there are maybe 3-4 teams in the W that actually fill the seats & yes they’ve come a long way but let’s not get entitled when it’s not earned!
She 's out her mind, the TV contract was 60 million, now a 300% increase?? Miller wishes she could have played in the WNBA. Catlin Clark is the real reason there's interest in the WNBA.
Lower the rim! WNBA just isnt entertaining; the highlights are layups and Angel Reese throwing the ball off the back board. Nothing really gets you out your seat like an AI, VC, Kyrie, etc. the level of entertainment isn’t there, forget skills, it’s the entertainment level
I feel the same way. Its like the standard bar has been lowered when it comes for them because I guess its impressive for "a girl" to accomplish a stat that we've seen for years being done nightly in the NBA. They seriously overhyped this double double thing with Reese like it's something unheard of. A triple double is impressive. A double double by a PF or C should be accomplished almost every night.
Thank you Rob for calling this out. The absolute nerve of Cheryl Miller and other women players. CC is ONLY reason they even getting this 2.2 billion deal!! And they trying to tear her down! I don't understand why wnba players can't see this: MAKE IT INTERESTING TO WATCH and people will come! Look at women's gymnastics, women's figure skating, women's track and field, women's swimming, diving, the majority of women's olympic sports!! If you are good at what you do and it's interesting people will come in droves to watch.
What is disgusting is that Much in the W and ESPN try to down play CC. She is the number 1 points leader in college basketball men included. She is top 3 in assist. She is a top rebounding guard. What other college female comes close to her?
"Government cheese." Boomer here: I remember back in the early 1970s, my uncle got hurt at his job and couldn't work. The family had to go on some kind of welfare, and I still remember seeing that huge block of government cheese. It was left out in the kitchen in hopes that the kids would eat it. Mostly, that was just welfare for Wisconsin dairy farmers, who got guaranteed payments every year for producing milk that couldn't have been sold otherwise. .
I respect Cheryl Miller but there's no way in hell she thinks the WNBA should get a 8 billion media deal and says a 2.2 billion media deal is not enough like WTF if I was the media company take the deal off the table...Ijs
After what the WNBA did to CC this current season, stiffing her ticket to Paris, and they plan on stiffing her for ROTY. Nope: pay the price. Whatever it may be, PAY THE PRICE. This continued stiffing CC at every turn has got to stop so until they can treat all players fairly: PAY THE PRICE. They (WNBA) don’t deserve anything until they can treat CC the way the current wnba vanguard wants to be treated. I’m not watching one single 🇺🇸 women’s basketball team game in Paris! CC belongs on the 🇺🇸 team at the Paris Olympics just for breaking the women’s D1 college 🏀 scoring record. Yet she isn’t. It’s an all time women’s athlete STIFF/SNUB. Like I said: PAY THE PRICE.
C Caitlin Clark is a heterosexual white girl who can play basketball really well and that’s who she appeals to other little white girls who idolize black female players, but don’t feel like they should have to be identified with athletic black lesbians
Ephorim got Rob Parker good with the haircut comment🤣😂🤣😂. Ppl in Detroit have wondered for years if Rob Parker owns a barbershop how come he never has a line up
So Cheryl Miller thinks that's a lowball deal? Well here's what, Ms. Miller: I'll put up my own money on a bet-Within 4 years, we're going to see negotiations to _reduce_ that payout. They're cashing in on a unique phenomenon, a one-time occurrence. Caitlyn Clark will help next year, but as she settles into being a regular top-level All Star, there won't be this big attraction, and this deal isn't going to look good at all.
The only reason they didn't is because it was david stern's baby. He wanted it to work. It hasn't. He still sank millions into this failing business every year.
This could be the very first time in its 28 year history that the WNBA makes a profit OR at the very least breaks even and they’re still talking about they want higher salaries, chartered flights etc. 🤦🏾♂️ How about u STOP losing money every single year and start actually MAKING money, then u might actually get MORE money 😱🤯
And this is why y’all can’t have nice things. It was probably a lot higher than it should have been and you complain. Growth doesn’t happen overnight. Play it smart. Obviously the ppl are making sure this isn’t just a flash in the pan. They have been losing money for all this time.
That's why they hate CC, she shows that it's actually possible to earn money as a woman baller, and it's not simply the evil men who deliberately keep them down.
What is she talking about? "They know" what? The NBA should cut em off and let them sink or swim on their own. If I was an NBA player, I'd be ticked off that ANY of our earned money is siphoned off to a failing business.
The initial question raised by the head of the players union was asking if the valuation was accurate. The 60% of the W is owned by the NBA. Rob keeps framing this as charity, but it's a business arrangement. The league cut is based on the valuation. If they believe the league is undervalued, I see no issue in asking how the NBA reached their valuation.
@@cedriclloyd5571 they got in a deeper hole because they have to get them private jets because of CC lol also her tv ratings and attendance across the league is up.
The deal makes alotta sense. During the next 10 years, the viewership should continue to grow. Eventually the league will make up for the last 25 years of debt with all the new stars that will enter and drive ratings
It all comes down to like it's been for decades now, it's not about the sport, it's all about the money. Take away all the money players have made including the NBA players and pay them the average pay a regular working man/ women makes for working a whole year and see how many of them still want to play basketball, the NBA only plays 82 games a year plus however deep you go into the playoffs, so they only work a few months out of the year
