If they lowered the rim in the WNBA it'd be like states legalizing weed and the tax profits come in overwhelming them in the first month, lower the rim I bet the game blows up when they're dunking
I’m not sure if this is accurate, but someone mentioned there was an article that someone actually did the numbers and it ended up being that each WNBA player would have to pay $80k😂😂😂😂
I was unable to make the UCLA squad, but regularly played with several WNBA players in pick-up games in college. It was like playing with 6th grade boy players, I could literally take the ball from them or score on them whenever I wanted. They were an absolute non-factor, I was 10x+ stronger, faster, quicker, more athletic and skilled - basically, better in every single way than them. I am confident I was better than every single WNBA player as a 17 yr. old HS player and I couldn't even make a top tier NCAA D1 men's bench. The WNBA is horrible to watch, the product sucks, and the arrogant, entitled, man-hating lesbians are insufferable with their demands that they be treated equally while not having any semblance of responsibility or accountability that comes along with that. Best idea I've heard is that the rim should go to 8 feet and at 1/2 time 2 random players from the stands get to join the girl teams. People would show up for an opportunity to just yak windmill dunks on these entitled, delusional, and arrogant excuses for athletes.
You are 100% correct. World class women athletes aren’t as good as a decent high school boy. If you took almost any boys high school team and offered them a $1,000,000 each if they beat a WNBA team by 20 you’d have millionaire 17 year olds with acne and a curfew all over the country because every high school boys team would dominate the WNBA teams.
I’m so pissed! My daughter was so excited to go to a WNBA game. I accidentally left our 2 tickets in the car overnight. When I came outside in the morning somebody had broken into the car and now I have 4 WNBA tickets!
I got free tickets to a WNBA game in Las Vegas a few years ago and there was nothing else going on that night, so I went. Bill Laimbeer was coaching, so it was cool to see him but I'm pretty sure he was drunk because every time he got up, the assistant coach was holding his balance and then he'd stumble back to his chair. Nobody really showed up until the 4th quarter. And that was only because Kid Cudi was performing after the game. But then he ended up canceling the show for some reason. So instead they put the Thursday Night Football game on the video screen and about 3000 people sat in a giant fully lit arena and watched football. That was my WNBA experience.
That was hilarious Company I use to work for, would get liberty tickets all the Time. They were so hard to get rid of, they'd leave them on the reception desk next to the mints I kid you not the mints would be gone by the end of the day... The tickets would still be there
Every time I punish my teenagers for doing something wrong. I make them watch a full WNBA game. I was accused by their mother of causing emotional damage to them.😂
A few years ago I considered paying for the wnba season subscription because it was only around $20 (can't remember exactly) but after seeing how entitled these players are I changed my mind. They complain about not getting any support but when they do get support they complain that it's not good enough. I never considered supporting them again. The wnba is dog shit
They saw the women's national soccer team get half of the MEN's WC winnings for doing absolutely nothing (and getting smoked by teenage boys), so of course the WNBA players are going to make ridiculous demands to try and get even more wildly overpaid than they already are. WNBA players are quite possibly the most overpayed people in all of the US, other than government employees.
@@dash4800 I considered it because I was perfectly fine with showing financial support to hard working women who are just trying to make a living, but when I looked in to it I realized none of that was true lol
Brittney Griner should’ve not been brought back even less traded for a gun dealer! That’s why no one went to receive her for her big return, because there is a soldier in jail over there when this junkie that is nobody is being given special treatment for being a woman, a black, lesbian woman. Should not be our priority.
"go watch it because you want to watch it" But if you don't want to watch it, that's considered unacceptable. They're demanding you like something. It's like they're in a full time, 24/7/365 fantasy camp where they're just pretending to be pro sports players, but everyone around them is expected to play along.
They are overpaid! Without any doubt, there are 10,000,000 (ten million!) Boys/men between ages 16-40 would could be the MVP of the WNBA. NOT including men already playing professional basketball players. Yet, they get paid to play a sport they are no good at when compared to every. Women's basketball is an utter joke.
Hey man some of the high school basketball games I've watched just d**n they get after it not so old their athleticism is gone but not so experienced they don't make mistakes just a good time
Little do they realize that lowering the rim, and shortening the 3-point line would probably help them make more shots, and maybe, just maybe make the WNBA a little more entertaining. WNBA PLAYERS: How dare you suggest that we can't do what men can do!!! NBA FANS: Ok, never mind. I guess beggars can be choosers. Keep telling your potential consumers that they have failed you, and that you deserve their money as you shoot 15% from FG range, and 0% from 3-point range. I can go watch my 10 year old son play basketball, and get more enjoyment.
"I don't want you to support me - I want you to come watch me play." - When a parent goes to "watch his ten year old play a sport", he IS supporting his kid. Fewer people want to "watch" WNBA than want to "watch" ten year old kids play. If the only people in the stands were people who actually WANTED to watch WNBA - there would be NOBODY there.
For a bunch of strong and independent women, it's weird to me they 100% rely on handouts from the male league to even exist. I must have missed a memo.
They say "sport", but they *should* be saying _"entertainment."_ It's fun to say "give us a share of the "revenue", but they _SHOULD_ be saying "give us a share of the *profits."* Then they'd get bill instead of a check, and reality would be unavoidable -- *people don't care about this form of entertainment.*
If I ran the NBA I'd give them the entire league and tell them to sink or swim. I'd wash my hands of this mess. You're being completely subsidized by another league that's paying your players six figures annually for a 48 game season. I'd tell them to roll up their sleeves and find their own TV deals, negotiate their own arena deals, merchandise agreements, endorsement deals and get the hell out my face.
WNBA players don’t want rims to be lowered then wonder why they don’t get enough pay. It’s like a man in normal clothing walking into a blizzard then wonder why he is cold
What is more hilarious is that the guys seem afraid to challenge anything she says. They offer support, nod and agree, and generally act as if she is making a lot of sense. If the NBA pulled it's funding, the league would fold. It's been suggested that the teams move to smaller cities, where there is no men's professional game to compete against, and build a fan base among people who would like to see a professional team, but don't get the opportunity. Or, they can keep whining and finding interviewers who are unwilling to challenge their statements. Let them go talk to Joe Rogan, and see if they can withstand being questioned by someone who doesn't cater to theim.
It's pretty annoying that most clips you see with people arguing about the NBA they're all just suck ups, like even with that one girl debating with Lebron and like 3 other NBA stars and Draymond Green i think was the literal only one to say anything
It's funny because based on revenue share - they are overpaid. Look at the average salary of an NBA player and the revenue of the NBA. It's about 0.086%. For the WNBA it's 0.119%.
That is information that they don't want to hear about, they prefer to make it a social issue based on discrimination and the only way they will make more money is if the NBA gives them more.
Honestly they are overpaid, if your company lost money 25 years in a row and you still have a job making 250 grand and you are complaining you are insane..They are basically a charity, NBA players and owners make less so the woman can have a league..They should be grateful but instead they are complaining and asking for more..
If they arent even making a profit for their team every year, they should feel lucky to be working, playing basketball at all. Where else does a company go in the red 23 years straight without going under??
Thing that really irritates me is that I know people in America that are in jail for the same exact thing as she was. But we choose not to let them out but we go out of our way to get someone back from Russia
@@odsickson1 So we’re just gonna ignore that Russia is not in the US, and their Justice system is not like ours. Meaning sentences will be different in different places.
@@odsickson1 never said there was, and there's a lot of people doing multiple years for wax. Y would America feel so strongly about the innocence of Brittany griner that we would go out of our way to get here out of Russia, when there's people here who are in jail for the same thing, we could easily let them out
@@trevorlewellin4698 you said you know people doing time for the exact same thing. There's nobody doing the amount of time she was given in America.💯 She was used as a pawn. I don't know much about her but I still think it was wrong to be given that amount of time for cannabis when the prisoner we swapped for her was smuggling arms. 💯
8:34 great point. Not only did it hurt Griner but it hurt the US govts ability to negotiate and probably put us in a weaker position so we HAD to trade the merchant of death. Great video!
Why don't these female athletes start demanding that other females watch, attend games, and buy merchandise instead of demanding men do more. Zero accountability and zero self-awareness
Fact women barely watch the wnba men actually watch the wnba more than a women that how bad the league even women knows the wnba is not a good league they watch the nba way more than a wnba which is no surprise
They get paid a higher percentage than the NBA players do compared to revenue. The NBA makes about 7% of its profits to the players. In the WNBA there is no profit, and their wages are about 27% of the losses. They shouldn’t get paid. They should owe money after they’re done playing. Let’s stop being delusional and walk even for everybody. Life isn’t even for everybody. Life isn’t fair. Women are not the same as men. Reality check!
Funny thing is, I did a quick Google search for comparison of revenue of the WNBA vs NBA. I came across a website that showed revenue and th average salary of the NBA vs WNBA. The WNBA is actually a little bit higher percentage than the NBA. The difference is the revenue, NBA is 7.4 billion vs 60 million for the WNBA.
Shaq was right, lower the rims. And move in the 3 point line Edit: on second thought, if they were trying to dunk on each other there would be more concussions than the nfl
@@JT-km6th NBA has moved the 3 point line around a bit and all it's really done is have people say "MJ could only shoot threes because the line was shorter". A shorter rim would realistically just take effect for one season and then everyone would be used to it, rookies might also struggle, but, again, shouldn't take too long to adapt. Worst case scenario, a few bad years of WNBA shooting, because we've never seen that before
@@KaseyC. no it would never work. You would have to change rims across the US to accomodate for a league that may or may not make profit. Something the WNBA hasn't done in forever (make profit) That and it would be a disadvantage when the Olympics come around so it's not probable and they aren't going to risk money on a 5% chance they make money
@@eliteayanokoji8637 you're just contradicting yourself. The WNBA doesn't make profit. Yet they're not willing to risk losing profit just for a small chance they eventually make profit. That's literally what the WNBA is. Also, I've had to play on smaller hoops set up for younger kids in my neighborhood. It really doesn't take long to get used to one or the other.
@@KaseyC. I'm not contradicting myself at all. Multiple organizations, colleges, buildings etc would have to build more facilities to accommodate that. Because if you lower the goals the WNBA...you would have to lower the rims for courts across to the US.... because female basketball isn't just played in the WNBA so again they're not going to change goals across the US for a league that can't even break even. You are one person lol. Just because you can adjust quickly in your neighborhood doesn't mean everyone can especially after playing a whole year on a 9ft rim. They would be at a severe disadvantage playing in the Olympics against other pros who played on 10 ft rims the whole time So in theory yeah it seems right but in actual practice it would never work so they would have to find another solution
Britney Griener, though I’m happy an American is home and not in a Russian jail for a petty crime. I also think the WNBA should’ve fired her. When an NBA star commits a crime his career is over. So, to the females. If you want “equal” rights that’s what it would actually look like. But you don’t, you just want to use “equal” as a talking point so you can dishonestly enrich yourselves for doing next to nothing.
She: I want equal revenue share Everyone: ok She: why I’m paying to play? Promoters: maybe you can up the revenue playing in a bikini She: patriarchy!!!!!!
even if they had a limo pick me up, a charted jet to fly me to the game and paid entrance and all the food and drink I want I still would not be bothered.to go, I'd rather be paid $5 instead
Let's be real, if fans are going just to "watch you hoop" then why would they pay to watch someone with way less skill than just watching an NBA player. She's against these fans "going to support" while ignoring that watching her hoop isn't nearly as entertaining than watching an NBA player hoop. The main issue here is that they don't ever try to realistically look at the situation and circumstance that they are in.
It only exists to placate, or empower youngsters I guess. Nobody with any sense is trying to watch crappy basketball unless you have a loved one involved
It’s like a musician who sucks as a singer songwriter complaining they are as good as Steve Perry of Journey, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, people don’t give a s$it about mediocre to poor performance from ANYONE. Stop trying to "shake down’ the NBA and gaslighting the public because we can clearly see the WNBA SUCKS.
What's worse is that they try to shut people down by saying they are arguing for an equal % of revenue not equal salaries, but what they are asking for is a % of revenue- all the money generated, not for profits, which is of course money left over after operating costs are covered. Since they know that the league is not profitable, they know and they don't care that this leaves owners and the league even more in the hole than they already are. They are asking for even more charity and pretending that it's just equality they want.
Simple fix… tell them they’ll get revenue share but the nba will no longer fund them as a charity and they have to become a profitable business or collapse
Does anyone else feel insulted in a slap in the face that Britney granner has not come out and said she's glad to be back home and thank you for getting me home and it feels great to be back here in the United States of America. Instead she's had a welcome home party where nobody showed up and she has said nothing and has not made a public statement yet. How in 3 weeks can you not make a statement in public?
Class and gratitude are non existent in people like Griner. I am surprised she is not suing the USA for everyday they did get this dope head out of Russia.
If they brought in the same amount of viewers nba brings in and all the sponsor’s that the nba does than I would say I agree.I’m actually stunned wnba has lasted as long as it has.
Honestly, I was just thinking that. Kobe and his daughter were doing more for women’s basketball the last couple years of his life. Then the entire WNBA has done since the year it started. And since Kobe passed away any other NBA player that has tried to support them or even come to their games, they blast on Twitter so now they’re actually pushing the NBA players away from supporting them.
Here is the very definition of self-owned: you say, "the narrative around women's sports is that people say that I'm coming to support but when they talk about KD aka Kevin Durant they say they're going to go and watch KD drop 30" . This is one of the biggest self-owned moments I have ever heard. She just explained why her league doesn't make money. And why no one really watches the sport. Because people see the WNBA as a charity case or as some sort of cause to support rather than going to watch a good product for the purpose of entertainment. People are watching Kevin Durant because they are wanting to watch real basketball with real highlights with real entertainment value. The WNBA simply does not provide that for the majority of people.
Like uncut said its really semantics. Support is support how each person gets there is irrelevant. People do watch the nba to "support" their fav players. In fact with bball you could argue the players are more famous than a lot of teams and fans are tuning in for them not the game or team as a whole. Also they aren't in a position to tell ppl what they should and shouldn't do or how they should support someone or something. It's straight delusion at this point.
You took the words right out my mouth stupid is duhhh, I don't even know wtf she is but know who Durant is and I guess she's a WNBA Star lol ,they don't show female socker that's totally different cause it can get a demand cause of talent in the sport similar, equal or better at time then men ,women BB just don't do it
Pretty insulting you used ping pong and WNBA together. Ping Pong is way better
High level ping pong makes wnba look like hopscotch
They should just lower the rim a foot and collect the profit they're so desperate for
For real, those ping-pongers are way more talented and entertaining than the WNBA.
Lol
If they lowered the rim in the WNBA it'd be like states legalizing weed and the tax profits come in overwhelming them in the first month, lower the rim I bet the game blows up when they're dunking

Facts lol

However, revenue and profit are not the same so it doesn't work like that.
They lose 10 million dollars a year. Each player would owe around $88,000.

It’s not just WNBA, it’s leftism period. This shit is rampant in E sports where the teams lose 200%-300% of revenue and the players still want more.

I hope Griner can sleep well knowing what her trade will bring for world peace and kids dying in wars already happeing and more to come...
What's the shortest joke in the world?
WNBA
She said she doesn’t make a dime off her jersey where can you buy the jersey at? 😂
At the Pride parades. Modell's is closed now
If I ran the NBA I'd give them the entire league and tell them to sink or swim. I'd wash my hands of this mess. You're being completely subsidized by another league that's paying your players six figures annually for a 48 game season. I'd tell them to roll up their sleeves and find their own TV deals, negotiate their own arena deals, merchandise agreements, endorsement deals and get the hell out my face.
Is there anything more dangerous than a strongly held uninformed opinion?
WNBA players don’t want rims to be lowered then wonder why they don’t get enough pay. It’s like a man in normal clothing walking into a blizzard then wonder why he is cold
What is more hilarious is that the guys seem afraid to challenge anything she says. They offer support, nod and agree, and generally act as if she is making a lot of sense. If the NBA pulled it's funding, the league would fold. It's been suggested that the teams move to smaller cities, where there is no men's professional game to compete against, and build a fan base among people who would like to see a professional team, but don't get the opportunity. Or, they can keep whining and finding interviewers who are unwilling to challenge their statements. Let them go talk to Joe Rogan, and see if they can withstand being questioned by someone who doesn't cater to theim.
It's pretty annoying that most clips you see with people arguing about the NBA they're all just suck ups, like even with that one girl debating with Lebron and like 3 other NBA stars and Draymond Green i think was the literal only one to say anything
But most of those people can watch their local high school mens games.
Welcome to the modern man. Too afraid to upset the status quo for fear of being ostrocized
@@destructionman1 or college
Those guys are probably just instructed to play dumb by their woke producers.
It's funny because based on revenue share - they are overpaid. Look at the average salary of an NBA player and the revenue of the NBA. It's about 0.086%. For the WNBA it's 0.119%.
That is information that they don't want to hear about, they prefer to make it a social issue based on discrimination and the only way they will make more money is if the NBA gives them more.
@@jinov191 exactly. Women's sports, in addition, is a raging joke.
Honestly they are overpaid, if your company lost money 25 years in a row and you still have a job making 250 grand and you are complaining you are insane..They are basically a charity, NBA players and owners make less so the woman can have a league..They should be grateful but instead they are complaining and asking for more..
They are lucky to be paid at all, for the crap they actually produce
If they arent even making a profit for their team every year, they should feel lucky to be working, playing basketball at all. Where else does a company go in the red 23 years straight without going under??
The rim seriously NEEDS to be lowered. Girls in my high school basketball team are more entertaining than them.
Thing that really irritates me is that I know people in America that are in jail for the same exact thing as she was. But we choose not to let them out but we go out of our way to get someone back from Russia
There's nobody in America doing 9 years for a cannabis cartridge.💯
@@odsickson1 So we’re just gonna ignore that Russia is not in the US, and their Justice system is not like ours. Meaning sentences will be different in different places.
@@odsickson1 never said there was, and there's a lot of people doing multiple years for wax. Y would America feel so strongly about the innocence of Brittany griner that we would go out of our way to get here out of Russia, when there's people here who are in jail for the same thing, we could easily let them out
@@odsickson1 and don't forget this lady was against America in her beliefs
@@trevorlewellin4698 you said you know people doing time for the exact same thing. There's nobody doing the amount of time she was given in America.💯
She was used as a pawn. I don't know much about her but I still think it was wrong to be given that amount of time for cannabis when the prisoner we swapped for her was smuggling arms. 💯
8:34 great point. Not only did it hurt Griner but it hurt the US govts ability to negotiate and probably put us in a weaker position so we HAD to trade the merchant of death. Great video!
Haha you're so brainwashed it's cute
“HAD”😂😂😂😂😂
To be fair, if I’m not mistaken, he was going to be released in 10 years anyways.
I’m here to earn it, earn what??? We don’t care!! You people suck as players and as Americans!!!
@@JudasMaccabeus1 I wonder how many people the merchant of death can kill in ten years🤷🏻♂️
The WNBA has had 20+ years to “earn” it. Hasn’t made a profit one single year. So “charity” in the definition sense, is what keeps there league alive.
Why would I you get money from jersey sales??? YOU OWE THE LEAGUE MONEY!!
Why don't these female athletes start demanding that other females watch, attend games, and buy merchandise instead of demanding men do more. Zero accountability and zero self-awareness
Fact women barely watch the wnba men actually watch the wnba more than a women that how bad the league even women knows the wnba is not a good league they watch the nba way more than a wnba which is no surprise
Or lesbians hell gays make lots of money
Majority of women don’t like sports, they rather fashion or make up etc , where the majority of men love sports they don’t want to watch women play
Fact is....a decent high school boys team would beat the piss out of a wnba team.
A bad high school team would, even.
Boys Middle School would be more competitive.
The guys interviewing her though...smh
The just agreeing with everything the garden tool is spewing
nothing but paid simps
NBA should stop wasting their money on wnba players and let them generate their own revenue and then they will see how much they are really worth.
They get paid a higher percentage than the NBA players do compared to revenue. The NBA makes about 7% of its profits to the players. In the WNBA there is no profit, and their wages are about 27% of the losses. They shouldn’t get paid. They should owe money after they’re done playing. Let’s stop being delusional and walk even for everybody. Life isn’t even for everybody. Life isn’t fair. Women are not the same as men. Reality check!
The largest GAP between the NBA & WNBA is NOT salary, it's TALENT!!!
I rather watch the lingerie womens football league ... wish they cancel wnba and replace it with this....
Facts I’ll pay for that no cap
Soccer or NFL?
Funny thing is, I did a quick Google search for comparison of revenue of the WNBA vs NBA. I came across a website that showed revenue and th average salary of the NBA vs WNBA. The WNBA is actually a little bit higher percentage than the NBA. The difference is the revenue, NBA is 7.4 billion vs 60 million for the WNBA.
Those GD numbers are lying. Lol
Which is also being subsidized by the NBA
Shaq was right, lower the rims. And move in the 3 point line
Edit: on second thought, if they were trying to dunk on each other there would be more concussions than the nfl
Would be difficult because the infrastructure for females would need to be built from pros all the way down to U13s
@@JT-km6th NBA has moved the 3 point line around a bit and all it's really done is have people say "MJ could only shoot threes because the line was shorter". A shorter rim would realistically just take effect for one season and then everyone would be used to it, rookies might also struggle, but, again, shouldn't take too long to adapt. Worst case scenario, a few bad years of WNBA shooting, because we've never seen that before
@@KaseyC. no it would never work. You would have to change rims across the US to accomodate for a league that may or may not make profit. Something the WNBA hasn't done in forever (make profit)
That and it would be a disadvantage when the Olympics come around so it's not probable and they aren't going to risk money on a 5% chance they make money
@@eliteayanokoji8637 you're just contradicting yourself. The WNBA doesn't make profit. Yet they're not willing to risk losing profit just for a small chance they eventually make profit. That's literally what the WNBA is.
Also, I've had to play on smaller hoops set up for younger kids in my neighborhood. It really doesn't take long to get used to one or the other.
@@KaseyC. I'm not contradicting myself at all. Multiple organizations, colleges, buildings etc would have to build more facilities to accommodate that. Because if you lower the goals the WNBA...you would have to lower the rims for courts across to the US.... because female basketball isn't just played in the WNBA so again they're not going to change goals across the US for a league that can't even break even.
You are one person lol. Just because you can adjust quickly in your neighborhood doesn't mean everyone can especially after playing a whole year on a 9ft rim. They would be at a severe disadvantage playing in the Olympics against other pros who played on 10 ft rims the whole time
So in theory yeah it seems right but in actual practice it would never work so they would have to find another solution
Britney Griener, though I’m happy an American is home and not in a Russian jail for a petty crime. I also think the WNBA should’ve fired her. When an NBA star commits a crime his career is over.
So, to the females. If you want “equal” rights that’s what it would actually look like. But you don’t, you just want to use “equal” as a talking point so you can dishonestly enrich yourselves for doing next to nothing.
She: I want equal revenue share
Everyone: ok
She: why I’m paying to play?
Promoters: maybe you can up the revenue playing in a bikini
She: patriarchy!!!!!!
“ come and watch me hoop” yeah right I got better things in life to do than “ come and watch me hoop”
Watching a spider build its web is way more entertaining.
even if they had a limo pick me up, a charted jet to fly me to the game and paid entrance and all the food and drink I want I still would not be bothered.to go, I'd rather be paid $5 instead
I've actually never seen anyone wearing a wnba jersey other than the athletes.
Bruh I need to watch more of WNBA so I could laugh while high
Lol
Take my word for it, no you don't. Games are not as entertaining as these lowlights. Stick to the youtube comps.
She meant " don't support me, come and watch me miss hoop"
This video is HILARIOUS man!!! Is WNBA really THAT bad???🤣🤣🤣
I would definitely pay 2 times the ticket price if all games came with a happy ending.
Dammmm
They should get equal revenue share of the profits, or have equal share losses deducted from their salary if the league makes a loss each year 😂
They don't deserve what they're paid now.
It’s like watching a bunch of chickens chase a June Bug.
Perfect highlights... they're definitely very Delusional
WMBA players are the most over paid players in sports
Let's be real, if fans are going just to "watch you hoop" then why would they pay to watch someone with way less skill than just watching an NBA player. She's against these fans "going to support" while ignoring that watching her hoop isn't nearly as entertaining than watching an NBA player hoop. The main issue here is that they don't ever try to realistically look at the situation and circumstance that they are in.
It only exists to placate, or empower youngsters I guess. Nobody with any sense is trying to watch crappy basketball unless you have a loved one involved
It’s like a musician who sucks as a singer songwriter complaining they are as good as Steve Perry of Journey, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, people don’t give a s$it about mediocre to poor performance from ANYONE. Stop trying to "shake down’ the NBA and gaslighting the public because we can clearly see the WNBA SUCKS.
The WNBA All Star team couldn't be a HS boys team.
What's worse is that they try to shut people down by saying they are arguing for an equal % of revenue not equal salaries, but what they are asking for is a % of revenue- all the money generated, not for profits, which is of course money left over after operating costs are covered. Since they know that the league is not profitable, they know and they don't care that this leaves owners and the league even more in the hole than they already are. They are asking for even more charity and pretending that it's just equality they want.
Woke logic and education....gimmee gimmee gimmeee
My home town WNBA team was playing in a championship series. I chose to watch a rerun of the Fresh Prince of Belair
You get paid more when you make more.
Watching the WNBA is like watching 6th grade boys play. They should pay me to watch it. 😂😂😂
These highlights got me dead!
Right
It's like Shaqtin' A Fool for the whole game.
Shaquille at his age now could beat an entire wnba team.
Simple fix… tell them they’ll get revenue share but the nba will no longer fund them as a charity and they have to become a profitable business or collapse
Oh they won’t do that. They will just bitch about something else like always!
Sound fair since they don’t need us right😂
tell them that they can have 100% of the money after costs and watch their ignorant faces light up until they get their first balance due notice.
Equal revenue share means when WNBA lose money, they gotta pay too🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have never ever seen a person wearing a WNBA jersey. LMAO 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That interview was straight up gaslighting.
Someone should subsidize an economics course for these players so they can understand why they should be happy with what they're getting.
Does anyone else feel insulted in a slap in the face that Britney granner has not come out and said she's glad to be back home and thank you for getting me home and it feels great to be back here in the United States of America. Instead she's had a welcome home party where nobody showed up and she has said nothing and has not made a public statement yet. How in 3 weeks can you not make a statement in public?
Class and gratitude are non existent in people like Griner. I am surprised she is not suing the USA for everyday they did get this dope head out of Russia.
This is like running a business at a loss year after year, yet paying your employees their 'raise' demands !!
😂 unfortunately I just watched more WNBA in 2 minutes that I've watched in 20 years and my brain hurts because of that 😂
Brother they are absolutely ridiculous, the NBA literally pays their damn salary!!
Their skill set really really sucks….like come on…
If they brought in the same amount of viewers nba brings in and all the sponsor’s that the nba does than I would say I agree.I’m actually stunned wnba has lasted as long as it has.
She believes "revenue" is "profit after all expenses".
Probably an econonics major in school.
Or a bartender
she got accountant and adviser from Wall street what you need is a good story not business with profit
WOKE economic major....
Kobe's daughter Gigi was the greatest hope for this league... So unfortunate, RIP Kobe and Gigi
I honestly felt the same way. If she would have made it to the WNBA.. I felt that Kobe would have took a chance at Coaching.
Honestly, I was just thinking that. Kobe and his daughter were doing more for women’s basketball the last couple years of his life. Then the entire WNBA has done since the year it started. And since Kobe passed away any other NBA player that has tried to support them or even come to their games, they blast on Twitter so now they’re actually pushing the NBA players away from supporting them.
Imagine that a team of women not knowing what they want
The WNBA should lower the height of the backboard and widen the hoop. Maybe they can layup and shoot better. LOL🤣😂🤣
It is so much bigger than a couple vape cartridges, it's about the release of one of the world's most dangerous men for an entitled "star"
Here is the very definition of self-owned: you say, "the narrative around women's sports is that people say that I'm coming to support but when they talk about KD aka Kevin Durant they say they're going to go and watch KD drop 30" . This is one of the biggest self-owned moments I have ever heard. She just explained why her league doesn't make money. And why no one really watches the sport. Because people see the WNBA as a charity case or as some sort of cause to support rather than going to watch a good product for the purpose of entertainment. People are watching Kevin Durant because they are wanting to watch real basketball with real highlights with real entertainment value. The WNBA simply does not provide that for the majority of people.
Like uncut said its really semantics. Support is support how each person gets there is irrelevant. People do watch the nba to "support" their fav players. In fact with bball you could argue the players are more famous than a lot of teams and fans are tuning in for them not the game or team as a whole. Also they aren't in a position to tell ppl what they should and shouldn't do or how they should support someone or something. It's straight delusion at this point.
You took the words right out my mouth stupid is duhhh, I don't even know wtf she is but know who Durant is and I guess she's a WNBA Star lol ,they don't show female socker that's totally different cause it can get a demand cause of talent in the sport similar, equal or better at time then men ,women BB just don't do it
Just not a good product and deep down they know it too
Don't disrespect ping pong like that.
Omg those interviewers ate all that crap up, they all do no one tells these wnba players how delusional they are to their face …
