I just want to put this out there: DON'T hate on the WNBA for no reason-- you can criticize statements at your will but there is NO room for unnecessary hatred in this world during a time like this. I enjoy watching women's basketball and the WNBA has a lot of potential, but in order to move forward, I believe that certain players and fans need a reality check. NO HATRED IS TOLERATED! Let's discuss how to make the WNBA a more entertaining product.
WNBA is an inspiration to my grandma. She suffered a leg injury in an accident but one day while watching WNBA she was able to walk in front of the TV and turned it off.
As Bill Burr stated, it’s not our job to make the WNBA work, talk to all the feminist on tv, or better yet pull all NBA funding and let it stand or fail on its own
What the WNBA players don't understand is who is the market. Look at who are the fans of profitable Women sport's Women's tennis? Women UFC women's pro boxing? women's Volleyball? It's men because the great majority of men don't watch sports. Everything is about promoting for girls to watch the game. It's like minor league baseball saying they have the same attraction as the majors. The only thing that have is being a local team. It's about loyalty to a team more then being a world start. They want don't have the brand of the NBA being a world wide produce. They are local starts to niche fans. One of the highest respect is when you you say a jersey number and people knows the player. The number is better then the name. Number 23 and i don't have to tell anyone who knows basketball who I talking around the world. They got the heads so stuck up an Ideology they don't care about the fans.
@@faervas1234I mean Luka is one of the most marketable guy out there, he shout them out and instead of respond nicely or not saying anything at all, They decided to bashed him on twitter for no reason…. So yeah at least from Europe, WNBA is not well-liked here at all😂
I actually agree tho. They basically always let the players travel to run for a dunk and I’m not really impressed with a dunk if the rim is like 2 ft. Above your head cuz you’re a giant. Basketball is the worst most flawed sport. “A game of shortcomings”
woman probably hate other woman more than a man. career woman hate housewife more than her male co-worker. this is a fact. the hate hierarchy probably housewife, female coworker, male coworker, female boss and male boss.
The number thing kills me. Anyone in sports knows we call each other by number! My entire high school career I was 78. Someone people didn't even know my first name just my last name and number!
On the Court you're a Number, not a "Unique and Special Individual with your own Personal Special Identity" you are a Member of a Team! These girls (Yes I said girls! That's the way they act!) don't understand that!
John Madden one-time NFL coach used to refer to the players of next game’s opponent by their numbers. It’s less intimidating to refer to #99 or #12 than Aaron Donald or Tom Brady. Besides, in the NFL if you can read their name on the jersey they’re already past you.
Anyone who plays sports knows that your number is just as good as your name. It’s why we always go for the same jersey number every year, and if you play multiple you get the same number.
Well... the fact that they are there means that probably they are the best women at basketball. The problem with the talent is concerning, but basketball is more popular among men, so its natural that from a smaller pool of talent there is a worse average. Also, most of them do not earn 6 figures. They earn much less than that (yearly). But still, they earn proportionally to what they generate or whatever they achieve through collective bargaining.
@@kumayasei but they dont even seem like the best athletes, look at the women competing in track and field they look like they are on a different level
@@hoosthere yes but basketball isn't always about the most athletic body... just look at examples like Stephen Curry, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki. Compared to male basketball players they may look trash, but you can't really compare the top 0.001% elite athletes taken from a pool of dozens of millions of players worldwide, that enter a system and culture in which they train since they are old enough to hold the rock with the talent pool that is available for women basketball, much more limited in number and in reach and scope of training, preparation and overall quality
@@kumayasei I get that but they are supposed to be the top athletics and skill to be pros and some don't look like they ever do any training, I mean look at gymnast, track and field, ballet dancers they are ripped
I love the hypocrisy of being offended at the suggestion of lowering the rim, yet still playing with a smaller ball and a shorter 3 point line. I would have loved to see Tmac bring that up.
@@SOLARxCHAOS Nice try, but no. Go watch the actual clip again. The first things she talked about was how there was more to the game than dunking etc. *then* she thought about her getting used to the height. Those other points she made are invalidated by the fact that there are other things about the women's game that are unequal/easier, so they should never have been talking points.
@@Hotobu and what did she mean there are other thing happens in wnba other than dunk, literally nothing happens, 3? Miss, lay up? Miss, drive to basket? Miss, everything is a miss there, so tf she talk about, delusional.
I remember when the Griner Cousins thing was happening. I said it speaks loads when her own Olympic coach said he would litteral bet his house against her.
@@357say same, I would sell my house at a profit now, sell all my worldy possessions, take out a loan for as much as a bank would allow, then bet every single penny on Boogey
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in a sports bar and someone has said, “Hey. Can you put the WNBA game on?” I can’t tell you because it hasn’t happened yet.
@@sjsnsnsnzn3352 I’m just calling it as I see it man. We have a WNBA team in New England, but here in Boston if you said, “Hey! Can you put the Connecticut Sun game on?” in a pub they’d look at you like you had three heads.
Womens sports isn't really a hot topic inless you talk about tenis ,vollyball,soccer etc because womens sports are just getting popular and men are more aggressive then women so they'll get attention
Just watching this vs UConn women or the like, it seems that the WNBA are playing a lot of 4s and 5s out of position at the same time fundamentals like passing to create spacing as well as taking shots while in control and/or moving towards or squaring to the basket are not common. Another thing to consider would be athletic primes of women may be a few years younger than men - maybe declining by age 28-30 for women instead of 30-32 for men. What do you peeps think ??
With all due respect, you can't be OK with them giving away a dunk contest trophy to a female when she didn't win it, then brink up their defensive/aggressive behavior because they are being enabled. They need a solid dosing of humble pie!
I remember when Ronda Rousey was on top in the UFC. She got asked a question about her not making as much as her male counterparts. She was like if I brought as much revenue to the organization like Connor or somebody. Then yes I'd be upset. But you get paid based of the value you bring to the organization just like any other job. Had mad respect for that response.
No she got hit with the Mayweather affect she talked shit about Mayweather and lost her very next fight no 😂😂😂 it's really a thing all the fighters who talk shit about Mayweather boxing or UFC end up losing there very next fight somebody made a whole video on this 😂
This never happened lol. Ronda was by far the most paid athlete in the UFC during her run. Conor, while always a big name, was still on his original contract by the end of Ronda’s loss at 193.
and add to the fact Ronda was bringing in the most revenue during her reign? Ufc193 had 56,000 people in one stadium just to see her. Plus she had the more than double Jon Jones (the 2nd biggest name during that time) ppv buys from 2010-2014
@@Shmayes81188 That is the most unexisting dark matter theory in the history of mankind. I hope you won't be strucked by lightning by what you have said😂
To play devils advocate: I've read that a huge chunk of sports player salaries go towards insurance, agents fees, etc. I don't know if that applies here, but they're probably making closer to the national median than the raw numbers imply. Still ungrateful, but less absurdly so.
Every time the women in the WNBA ask for more money, the question should be asked publicly and of those women, "Where is the money going to come from to pay you what you are asking for?"
Well sounding like a BIG MAN would make you call a calm and relaxed smoothly talking MAN sound like a little boy to you lmao an some women I just money hungry even the ones with money they just don't make enough on their own gotta take it from somebody
@@brendalove5981 I asked my girl and her and her mom both (at the same time damn near) agreed that from their experience women don't like each other but from how she put it, it sounds like women are just very competitive with each other for some reason, like I noticed even when she's with her best friends they're passive aggressive to each other, even though it's obvious they care about each other a lot. It's strange. Guys are the same way though, albiet more blunt or sometimes violent which makes me think it's a weird primal thing we still have.
Watched the video at 2X. Grand total of 20 points scored by WNBA players, including the dunk contest. I know that's not useful information, but I had some morbid curiosity to satisfy.
Tbh that’s not a lot. I do agree they should get paid more but not millions. Maybe like 200k to 300k a year? Hell even doctors get paid more than WNBA players.
If they lowered the rims to make in game dunking feasible they would get a lot better ratings. There's been more dunks in single NBA games than the whole history of the WNBA.
And it really has very little to do with the gender thing. Women's UFC and One Championship as well as tennis and football have proven people will watch women athletes. It's about entertainment. Unfortunately, as skilled as these ladies can be, the WNBA just isn't very entertaining. It's slow paced and not flashy.
I find men's tennis dull. Too many aces/faults (little action, tons of dead time). I like women's tennis, more action/strategy, longer rallies. I find men's basketball exciting and women's basketball painfully dull (slow, missed layup/airball ratio too high).
In highschool with a group of friends we had some girlfriends playing with us. Mixed teams and at half we lowered the rim to 9. It was freaking great, the girls hit more layups and Amber dunked on Travis. Everyone exploded at the courts. Next thing we knew, all the girls wanted the rim lower.
The WNBA loses $10 million a season...so they deserve half of minus 50% of ten million dollars which is better than 2 million ..it's minus five million dollars ..and I must say well earned or in this case not earned.
If it's so unreasonable to expect you ladies to play basketball full time for what you are paid, then don't. Quit and go find a better job. This is 1000% jealousy of the money the NBA players make and nothing else. Most people would kill to be given the chance to make 100 grand doing something they love.
Imagine tweeting that your salary is only in the "low six figures" and expecting sympathy from regular people. 0 concept of reality. I guess I'll go to the CEO of my company and complain that they're not paying their employees 50% of their revenue... I'm sure I won't be fired.
Chances are the employees at your company actually do get collectively paid more than half of total revenue, but that's because you're talking about all the employees. What WNBA players are asking for is the equivalent of all the McDonald's general managers demanding to be paid half of all McDonald's revenue because they're running the stores, which is simply absurd. If WNBA players were worth being paid the kind of money they want, they'd either have cultivated a profitable league via their performance, which they can't do, or they'd go try out and get signed on an NBA team, which they also can't do. And yes, any NBA team that had a woman try out and show enough talent to make the team would sign her. The fact is that there's not a single woman in existence who has that talent and there never will be.
@@johnwatsoniv384 the only reason for men get paid so much, as much as 50% of revenue is because the revenue is high enough, so the teams, orgs and league can afford it, also competition is high enough so money talks when it comes to contracts and so on. When it comes to woman and their league, its being donated money into instead of generating its own. Its not about splitting profits, its something like asking your boss to raise your salary, pay you out of his own pockets while staying in red numbers. That shit is just absurd. If you have no profits, you have no revenue, they yiu get paid shit. This feminism shit that's around us is just absurd.. They do get to play game they love.. Enjoy their live.. And make milions of $ in proces (their low six figure deal in $ would set them for life in my country if they keep that contract for few years running, for example, so this bitching someone makes more just pisses me off.). And pisses me even more when there's visible gap and no discusión about whos better. Like.. Idk what sport it was yif basketball or football, but fucking national team (winners of worlds) ot beaten by high school team full of teenage boys that literally make a peanuts, how the duck they can ask for equal.. Shouldn't then high school hoys with higher skill level make even more than them? My logic tells me they should.. Because people should be paid for their skills and what they do, not dor their gender.) The mens case is, there are billions generated, so the teams don't care if they or the players get it, if it means their star players stay with them and sign contracts.
One of the saddest aspects of Kobe's and Gigi's tragic passing earlier this year is that it robbed the WNBA of a future superstar and it deprived the world of being able to see Kobe begin his second career as a WNBA coach and inevitably coach his daughter to multiple WNBA championships. A lot of us have never watched a WNBA game before, but who wouldn't pay good money to see Gigi hit fadeaways and play like a Kobe-clone with the Black Mamba himself coaching her on the sidelines. It would have been so beautiful.
@JorgeJR what are you talking about? This isn’t just fan fiction but the two were actually heading down this path had the accident never happened. At 13 years old Gigi was already playing like her dad and Kobe had actually intended to start coaching women’s basketball after his daughter started playing. You can read about both of these here: www.nydailynews.com/sports/basketball/ny-kobe-bryant-daughter-gigi-fadeaway-jumper-20191118-fvsf7mybdvhelhuewqhkwwctxa-story.html www.boston.com/sports/nba/2020/01/27/kobe-bryant-gigi-basketball-uconn
@JorgeJR the difference is Kobe's daughter; Gigi, actually loved the game and was already showing that she was amazing for her age, hitting contested fadeaways, nice jumper and willigness to learn. You're just choosing to narrate it in a superficial way, but unlike MJs sons, she actually loved the game and was already showing great potential.
I think the American woman's soccer team (which is one of the top in the world) lost to a mans high school soccer team, so the same would probably happen for basketball
16:07 "the skill level is off the charts in womens basketball" no tf its not. The amount of air balls, missed layups and lack of conditioning is almost offensive. Come on now
The violin 🎻 gets smaller when they do compare what they do to their NBA counterparts as why that should be getting more. Skylar’s dig into Harrison Barnes is a prime example. She compared her résumé to his in a dismissive way, while complaining why she should get more because of it; she’s a 4-time All-Star & leading scorer on a team that hasn’t had a winning season since drafting her. Barnes - while not an All-Star, was a key piece of the Warriors championship team in 2015 & their record-setting 73-win regular season in 2016; after the KD trade, Harrison became the Mavs leading scoring option. By the time Diggins made that comparison in 2019, neither Dallas team had much to brag about. Was Diggins saying she’s as good as Barnes despite never winning a title like he did, or that she needs to be paid as much as a player like Barnes got paid despite him never being an All-Star??
@Tevin Grouse it’s not that they don’t deserve a pay raise, it’s how are they going to get such a raise when their league can’t afford it? Even the $500K minimum you suggest is currently untenable to pay every player. The WNBA barely makes $80M/yr; no way they can give $72M to 144 players across their 12 teams & still remain financial solvent.
Now we know the true value of a WNBA player, especially a Lesbian one: an even swap for a Russian arms dealer. But I understand that an actual soldier of ours was let behind. Seems fair, right?
I never realized how aesthetically unpleasing watching consecutive missed shots really is. It’s almost like my mind rejects it and makes me so uncomfortable
Who wouldve thought watching paint dry would hold a higher entertainment value than watching "professional" athletes try to promote a league that lacks the most basic fundamentals?
It is literally a compilation of lowlights tho, so it is meant to show only the worst fuckups. Remember even with a 99% hit rate, a professional basketball player who does hundreds of layups in a season can be made to look as though they have a 10% hit rate if only their lowlights are included.
Women in general are getting too entitled about salaries specially in sports. I am all about equality but they gotta understand that the value of a product (that's what their sports leagues are) is determined by the amount of people willing to pay for it (in broad sense). Any value of a product is determined by the value given by someone despite the gender. Your product may be good, but if no one is willing to pay for it said product doesnt have value. Is it hard to understand??
@@MeaCulpa04 the college game had programs like Tennessee & Connecticut made dynasties that impressed fans and causal audiences alike. No player or team in the WNBA has come close to that level of consistency to make folks take notice.
@@aztn19 the Houston comets were starting to become that team for the league back in the day. Back when swoopes and cooper and Tina Thompson were there. Idk If they even still have a team in Houston , sad.
Yes you would at first you would be happy as hell but when you realize everybody else you're playing with is making almost 10 times as much as you are you would change slowly.
@@someoneextra819 No! Because everyone else is getting less than what shes getting. Shes comparing herself to the men, they play the same sport but at 2 different levels.. What if you were the highest paid McDonalds worker would you then complain that a gourmet chef who works in 5 restaurant is getting paid more than you? Same sport but at completely different levels
"while NBA players are making millions I'm only making low 6 figures." you're making as much as some doctors by playing the sport you love. be grateful.
They should lower the rim. It's kinda like when you were younger and you'd lower the rim to do some crazy dunks for fun. That's the entire point; FUN. The game is for fun and entertainment. Make the game more entertaining and more people will watch it.
They are waaaay too prideful to accept that. The irony is that it would probably make their sport way more watchable and as a result, more profitable. They want everything the NBA has without doing whatever it takes.
Crazy part about that quote is that that guy coaches female players. Or, at least he did at the time that quote was made. So, ostensibly, he'd have more respect for them than the average person. But he's also not stupid, lol.
@@RoyaleWitCheese04 not just a women’s coach, literally the most successful women’s basketball coach on the planet. Coaches UConn and the USA women’s teams
Two things about women’s basketball… 1) The notion that women’s basketball is somehow exceptionally fundamental needs put to rest. A quarter of the plays are a fiasco. 2) Watch a women’s college game and count how many times a player ends up on the floor. Sometimes it is for good reason, yes, but most of the time it is chaos.
I'm sorry but people male and female on the whole are not interested in seeing women play basketball. Look at the attendance year after year. I admit I have zero interests in it still. I tried to watch but after 50 years of watching top pro NBA players do things with their bodies that defy nature when getting the ball in the hoop, i just can't watch women do mediocre inconsistent moves on the court. Sadly i also admit that i'm not interested in seeing women act like men.
When that one chick said “.. omg it’s so slow” SHES SO RIGHT! They put no real energy into the game. It’s like in slowmo. WNBA defense is almost nonexistent, the overall skill is just very low. You see better hooping going on at a pick up game at the local YMCA
For real. I'm a woman and I find the WNBA culture so grating. It's like their approach to the game is all talk, no show in effort and intensity. Women's College Basketball KILLS the WNBA -- they put in the work and don't see the game as an excuse to kiss their own asses and then play victim. Whenever I watch women's ball, it's college, all day any day. Sooo, how is the problem sexism?? 🤔🤦🏽♀️
If they were good enough they wouldn’t need the WNBA. They would just play in the NBA. If I was making 6 figures to suck at basketball I would not say a word sit my happy self on the bench.
@@vincentramirez8188 I’m waiting to see how many trans players flood the WNBA and also how few trans players go to the NBA. Won’t see any FTM in the NBA that’s for damn sure
I love watching women’s softball but the NBA is doing nothing but loses money. I used to watch Reggie miller’s daughter. But the talent isn’t there anymore
lol the irony of T Mac being forced to say "the skill level is off the charts" in the wnba... T Mac's retired azz could come off a nap right now and destroy literally every single player in the wnba.
Deadass? Bill Russell’s old ass could come outta retirement and play in the wnba. He don’t even needa defend he could just sit there on offense and take baby jumpers 😂
Geno Auriemma, the greatest women's coach of all time, so he's not some rando hater of women's basketball. He's just not delusional like these WNBA players are.
That's my first thought too! They miss a lot of lay ups, have very few tall players, and shooting into a goal not as high really wouldn't be as much an adjustment. If they would humbly & modestly accept they won't ever compete to the same level as the guys (just a fact, not an insult) and just took what they could do to its limits, I guarantee more would watch! But that requires modesty - recognizing limits, facing reality and adjusting like an adult
My dad used to say, never needlessly make an enemy, but the WNBA seems to have a habit of doing so. The WNBA forgets every man has a mother, often has sisters, often has women he loves. We DO watch women's sports -- take tennis, for example. So it's not like men can't be persuaded to watch women's sports. However, it does need to be more entertaining and marketed with players who don't run their mouth constantly about pay equity, etc. and so on. The vast majority of the human race is poor and most of us will never play sports for a living. These women seem to forget that a lot.
Plot twist, she spent 22 years of her life as a man and has now "transitioned" because he/she couldn't make the NBA. At least we'll finally see a "women" dunk
When b. Stewart got mad at Tracy Mcgrady for suggesting a lower rim it made no sense since the WNBA and the NBA are a part of the entertainment industry having a lower rim would mean more highlight plays and could potentially pull more viewers Treese and others thoughts
@@TREESEhoops really don’t see how you didn’t see her comment as snarky to me it was clear. She knew exactly why he mentioned it. Since she stated to see us dunk more in a snarky tone. WNBA has decent fundamentals I’d even say above average but there are vastly less wow plays and the athleticism compared to the nba is different when compared to the NBA. However, I respect you’re trying to be optimistic on the WNBA player’s comments.
@@TREESEhoops I watched that episode of The Jump when t-Mac mad that suggestion and to me she looked as though she was insulted. WNBA player has to realize that the entertainment value is different between than and the NBA because of the dunks. If she doesn’t like the idea of player with a lower rim and wants the same respect the men have, then her options are clear, work on her athleticism try playing with men’s size basketball. The fact of the matter is there are differences between men and woman, and in order for them to get a larger percentage then they need to generate more revenue. T-Mac’s idea was genius but most geniuses are appreciated until they’re gone.
If people complain about WNBA players being paid less than NBA players, then they should also complain about G-League players being paid less... It's a different league, of course they don't have the same salary, their league is making less money.
kinda hard to earn respect from people whose literally personality is disliking things just for the sake of disliking it. news flash any real individual who has any respect for anything real at all has respect for professional athletes. if u dont, ur being willfully stupid just bc u think people wont find u stupid
Also, equality is not really the word you're looking for here. This entire video actually shows that the NBA and WNBA are not equal. You are thinking of 'equitable'.
@@lilbusy94 if you are demanding that people watch your league despite it being not nearly as entertaining as the NBA and claiming that anyone (men) that doesn’t watch is sexist is the epitome of entitlement.
we should just give them what they want and let them make the same percentage as the men do in comparison to their league so they have to start paying to play
@@dubnation1360 did u watch the video, u gotta realize that the league does not make money a total of 60 million a year and if the were to make the same percentage the league would be in the drain it’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they can’t afford ut
@Dubnation #1 true we should give them their shirt sales and revenues. So instead of making 6 figures they can make the 3 figures they generate. Then they pick up a part time job to make ends meet.
@@John_on_the_mountain True. To be fair though Aquinas DID write most of the accepted canons of the Church. Most of what's taught in the church are musings from that dude. JK Rowling has done great for herself - very entertaining. But Aquinas wrote stuff that literally changed the world.
Somehow, even the BEST women college players find a way to play like crap in the WNBA. I do not know how it is possible! Maybe these women should not go home until they can make 20 in a row with no defense under the basket. No professional should miss these shots very often. There is no reason to work the ball in if you are going to miss the shot. There are even a few high-school players that are going to make these WNBA women look sad when they get there.

What the WNBA players don't understand is who is the market. Look at who are the fans of profitable Women sport's Women's tennis? Women UFC women's pro boxing? women's Volleyball? It's men because the great majority of men don't watch sports. Everything is about promoting for girls to watch the game.

The number thing kills me. Anyone in sports knows we call each other by number! My entire high school career I was 78. Someone people didn't even know my first name just my last name and number!
On the Court you're a Number, not a "Unique and Special Individual with your own Personal Special Identity" you are a Member of a Team!
These girls (Yes I said girls! That's the way they act!) don't understand that!
I wasn't called by my first name until I retired. It was number or maybe last name. Maybe.
John Madden one-time NFL coach used to refer to the players of next game’s opponent by their numbers. It’s less intimidating to refer to #99 or #12 than Aaron Donald or Tom Brady. Besides, in the NFL if you can read their name on the jersey they’re already past you.
Anyone who plays sports knows that your number is just as good as your name. It’s why we always go for the same jersey number every year, and if you play multiple you get the same number.
That part upset me, was a great point though-major boots up their salty arses.
imagine being terrible at something, making 6 figures doing it, and still complain like youre a victim.
that's the problem with social justice warriors . . .
Well... the fact that they are there means that probably they are the best women at basketball. The problem with the talent is concerning, but basketball is more popular among men, so its natural that from a smaller pool of talent there is a worse average. Also, most of them do not earn 6 figures. They earn much less than that (yearly). But still, they earn proportionally to what they generate or whatever they achieve through collective bargaining.
@@kumayasei but they dont even seem like the best athletes, look at the women competing in track and field they look like they are on a different level

WNBA History: 21 Dunks

I agree-- women can't enter the WNBA until 22 and some of those college players are much more athletic than WNBA players.
i would also agree. its like Night and Day
Facts, maybe cuz the women can go into a different career and make more than WNBA lmao.
Just watching this vs UConn women or the like, it seems that the WNBA are playing a lot of 4s and 5s out of position at the same time fundamentals like passing to create spacing as well as taking shots while in control and/or moving towards or squaring to the basket are not common. Another thing to consider would be athletic primes of women may be a few years younger than men - maybe declining by age 28-30 for women instead of 30-32 for men. What do you peeps think ??
Same with european womens basketball. They seem to hit decent shots more often
With all due respect, you can't be OK with them giving away a dunk contest trophy to a female when she didn't win it, then brink up their defensive/aggressive behavior because they are being enabled. They need a solid dosing of humble pie!
I remember when Ronda Rousey was on top in the UFC. She got asked a question about her not making as much as her male counterparts. She was like if I brought as much revenue to the organization like Connor or somebody. Then yes I'd be upset. But you get paid based of the value you bring to the organization just like any other job. Had mad respect for that response.
No she got hit with the Mayweather affect she talked shit about Mayweather and lost her very next fight no 😂😂😂 it's really a thing all the fighters who talk shit about Mayweather boxing or UFC end up losing there very next fight somebody made a whole video on this 😂
This never happened lol. Ronda was by far the most paid athlete in the UFC during her run. Conor, while always a big name, was still on his original contract by the end of Ronda’s loss at 193.
and add to the fact Ronda was bringing in the most revenue during her reign? Ufc193 had 56,000 people in one stadium just to see her. Plus she had the more than double Jon Jones (the 2nd biggest name during that time) ppv buys from 2010-2014
Ronda was being paid an insane amount for bringing so much to the UFC.. this is just false.

In highschool with a group of friends we had some girlfriends playing with us. Mixed teams and at half we lowered the rim to 9. It was freaking great, the girls hit more layups and Amber dunked on Travis. Everyone exploded at the courts. Next thing we knew, all the girls wanted the rim lower.

Chances are the employees at your company actually do get collectively paid more than half of total revenue, but that's because you're talking about all the employees. What WNBA players are asking for is the equivalent of all the McDonald's general managers demanding to be paid half of all McDonald's revenue because they're running the stores, which is simply absurd.
If WNBA players were worth being paid the kind of money they want, they'd either have cultivated a profitable league via their performance, which they can't do, or they'd go try out and get signed on an NBA team, which they also can't do. And yes, any NBA team that had a woman try out and show enough talent to make the team would sign her. The fact is that there's not a single woman in existence who has that talent and there never will be.
@@johnwatsoniv384 the only reason for men get paid so much, as much as 50% of revenue is because the revenue is high enough, so the teams, orgs and league can afford it, also competition is high enough so money talks when it comes to contracts and so on.
When it comes to woman and their league, its being donated money into instead of generating its own. Its not about splitting profits, its something like asking your boss to raise your salary, pay you out of his own pockets while staying in red numbers. That shit is just absurd. If you have no profits, you have no revenue, they yiu get paid shit.
This feminism shit that's around us is just absurd.. They do get to play game they love.. Enjoy their live.. And make milions of $ in proces (their low six figure deal in $ would set them for life in my country if they keep that contract for few years running, for example, so this bitching someone makes more just pisses me off.). And pisses me even more when there's visible gap and no discusión about whos better. Like.. Idk what sport it was yif basketball or football, but fucking national team (winners of worlds) ot beaten by high school team full of teenage boys that literally make a peanuts, how the duck they can ask for equal.. Shouldn't then high school hoys with higher skill level make even more than them? My logic tells me they should.. Because people should be paid for their skills and what they do, not dor their gender.)
The mens case is, there are billions generated, so the teams don't care if they or the players get it, if it means their star players stay with them and sign contracts.
One of the saddest aspects of Kobe's and Gigi's tragic passing earlier this year is that it robbed the WNBA of a future superstar and it deprived the world of being able to see Kobe begin his second career as a WNBA coach and inevitably coach his daughter to multiple WNBA championships.

@JorgeJR what are you talking about? This isn’t just fan fiction but the two were actually heading down this path had the accident never happened.

The violin 🎻 gets smaller when they do compare what they do to their NBA counterparts as why that should be getting more. Skylar’s dig into Harrison Barnes is a prime example. She compared her résumé to his in a dismissive way, while complaining why she should get more because of it; she’s a 4-time All-Star & leading scorer on a team that hasn’t had a winning season since drafting her. Barnes - while not an All-Star, was a key piece of the Warriors championship team in 2015 & their record-setting 73-win regular season in 2016; after the KD trade, Harrison became the Mavs leading scoring option. By the time Diggins made that comparison in 2019, neither Dallas team had much to brag about. Was Diggins saying she’s as good as Barnes despite never winning a title like he did, or that she needs to be paid as much as a player like Barnes got paid despite him never being an All-Star??
@Tevin Grouse it’s not that they don’t deserve a pay raise, it’s how are they going to get such a raise when their league can’t afford it? Even the $500K minimum you suggest is currently untenable to pay every player. The WNBA barely makes $80M/yr; no way they can give $72M to 144 players across their 12 teams & still remain financial solvent.

It is literally a compilation of lowlights tho, so it is meant to show only the worst fuckups. Remember even with a 99% hit rate, a professional basketball player who does hundreds of layups in a season can be made to look as though they have a 10% hit rate if only their lowlights are included.
Women in general are getting too entitled about salaries specially in sports.

Me: yeah it’s so bad that it doesn’t even reach the charts
Honestly they play like I do when I'm hung over 🤣
It's painful to watch this. Then having the finances laid out... I think they should be happy with the 20% share.

I'm sorry but people male and female on the whole are not interested in seeing women play basketball. Look at the attendance year after year. I admit I have zero interests in it still. I tried to watch but after 50 years of watching top pro NBA players do things with their bodies that defy nature when getting the ball in the hoop, i just can't watch women do mediocre inconsistent moves on the court. Sadly i also admit that i'm not interested in seeing women act like men.
When that one chick said “.. omg it’s so slow” SHES SO RIGHT! They put no real energy into the game. It’s like in slowmo. WNBA defense is almost nonexistent, the overall skill is just very low. You see better hooping going on at a pick up game at the local YMCA
thats my take bro it looks like middle school basketball 🤷🏽♂️ but nowadays those 12 year olds are windmill yammin haha
Who have y'all been watching? I get it, it's not the NBA but they all ain't slow.. this is a vid that's only showing the bad and tryna degrade
Women don’t have as much explosive muscle , so yea it’s about 15% slower
@@jaylucas8352 yeah we know.
For real. I'm a woman and I find the WNBA culture so grating. It's like their approach to the game is all talk, no show in effort and intensity. Women's College Basketball KILLS the WNBA -- they put in the work and don't see the game as an excuse to kiss their own asses and then play victim. Whenever I watch women's ball, it's college, all day any day. Sooo, how is the problem sexism?? 🤔🤦🏽♀️
"Lower the goals.. How misogynist"
"Now pass me that smaller ball"
This was literally my first thought 😂
If they were good enough they wouldn’t need the WNBA. They would just play in the NBA. If I was making 6 figures to suck at basketball I would not say a word sit my happy self on the bench.
@@vincentramirez8188 I’m waiting to see how many trans players flood the WNBA and also how few trans players go to the NBA. Won’t see any FTM in the NBA that’s for damn sure

@@KingOfThePiratesOfTheHill I remember a fruit drink called Mystic.
T-Mac has a great idea, he brings it very carefully, trying not be insulting.
Yet, she's still insulted!
That's my first thought too! They miss a lot of lay ups, have very few tall players, and shooting into a goal not as high really wouldn't be as much an adjustment. If they would humbly & modestly accept they won't ever compete to the same level as the guys (just a fact, not an insult) and just took what they could do to its limits, I guarantee more would watch! But that requires modesty - recognizing limits, facing reality and adjusting like an adult
@@jaredpatterson1701 the average nba player is also taller than in the WNBA so why should the goals be the same
@@lucwijngaard8413 yeah make he rim 5 feet
Even worse, she tried to 'put him in check' before he even started. She lets her fear lead her action.
correct me if i'm wrong, but women do play with a smaller sized ball right?? so why would this be a disrespectful thought?..
My dad used to say, never needlessly make an enemy, but the WNBA seems to have a habit of doing so. The WNBA forgets every man has a mother, often has sisters, often has women he loves. We DO watch women's sports -- take tennis, for example. So it's not like men can't be persuaded to watch women's sports. However, it does need to be more entertaining and marketed with players who don't run their mouth constantly about pay equity, etc. and so on. The vast majority of the human race is poor and most of us will never play sports for a living. These women seem to forget that a lot.
A 9ft rim so they dunk...they already play with a smaller ball.
😂😂😂
Actually a good idea for the game. Would love to see some ladies dunk on some bitches
They could play with a golf ball and trash can, still garbage
They are usually smaller, in height. So I guess it would make sense
They stealing from the nba now

Plot twist, she spent 22 years of her life as a man and has now "transitioned" because he/she couldn't make the NBA. At least we'll finally see a "women" dunk
When b. Stewart got mad at Tracy Mcgrady for suggesting a lower rim it made no sense since the WNBA and the NBA are a part of the entertainment industry having a lower rim would mean more highlight plays and could potentially pull more viewers
Treese and others thoughts
I think Stewart wasn't as upset as some clips made her look. She literally said "I understand".
I think an 8 feet rim would make more highlights
If she doesn’t want to make more money that’s on her 🤷🏿♂️
@@TREESEhoops really don’t see how you didn’t see her comment as snarky to me it was clear. She knew exactly why he mentioned it. Since she stated to see us dunk more in a snarky tone. WNBA has decent fundamentals I’d even say above average but there are vastly less wow plays and the athleticism compared to the nba is different when compared to the NBA. However, I respect you’re trying to be optimistic on the WNBA player’s comments.
@@TREESEhoops I watched that episode of The Jump when t-Mac mad that suggestion and to me she looked as though she was insulted. WNBA player has to realize that the entertainment value is different between than and the NBA because of the dunks. If she doesn’t like the idea of player with a lower rim and wants the same respect the men have, then her options are clear, work on her athleticism try playing with men’s size basketball.
The fact of the matter is there are differences between men and woman, and in order for them to get a larger percentage then they need to generate more revenue. T-Mac’s idea was genius but most geniuses are appreciated until they’re gone.
11:57 "you'd be no better than the 3rd best post player on the men's team" is actually a massive compliment.

Also, equality is not really the word you're looking for here. This entire video actually shows that the NBA and WNBA are not equal. You are thinking of 'equitable'.
@@lilbusy94 if you are demanding that people watch your league despite it being not nearly as entertaining as the NBA and claiming that anyone (men) that doesn’t watch is sexist is the epitome of entitlement.
If the wnba cant pay their bills without the nba, they shouldnt have a league period. Its ok to simp for the wnba but at the same time be realistic.
its so hard to feel bad for people making low 6 figures for their dream job
we should just give them what they want and let them make the same percentage as the men do in comparison to their league so they have to start paying to play
Yep, and sucking at it at that.
@@dubnation1360 did u watch the video, u gotta realize that the league does not make money a total of 60 million a year and if the were to make the same percentage the league would be in the drain it’s not that they don’t want to, it’s that they can’t afford ut
@Dubnation #1 true we should give them their shirt sales and revenues. So instead of making 6 figures they can make the 3 figures they generate. Then they pick up a part time job to make ends meet.

Somehow, even the BEST women college players find a way to play like crap in the WNBA. I do not know how it is possible! Maybe these women should not go home until they can make 20 in a row with no defense under the basket. No professional should miss these shots very often. There is no reason to work the ball in if you are going to miss the shot. There are even a few high-school players that are going to make these WNBA women look sad when they get there.
