Ronda Rousey was the highest paid fighter in the UFC. Why? Because people wanted to see her. She deserved her salary because she was the biggest draw. Nothing to do with her being a man or a woman. Most people don’t care about WNBA, that’s a fact.
lol word........beyonce making more money than every R&B nigga coz she's the biggest star.........ain't got shit to do with man-woman bullshit lmaoooooo.
That argument from the WNBA player saying she deserves Harrison Barnes’s salary because she’s more “accomplished” in her league is crazy talk. I’m actually a 10-time world champion in my backyard football league with 60,000 career rushing yards and I’ve stiff-armed my dumb neighbor in the face like 100 times, and Tom Brady’s sorry ass only has what… 7 rings? Sounds off to me. Pay me.
In 14 seasons of my Road to the Show, I'm a 12x All Star, 7x Gold Globe, 2x MVP, 3x World Series Winner and a 2x World Series MVP. I have four batting titles and have led the league in WAR NINE consecutive years. In my rookie year in Texas I had a 120 OPS + and for the last 9 seasons it hasn't gone below 160. I was also kind of robbed of at least two MVPs... In two seasons, I'll be confortably over 3000 hits, 500 HRs, 500 SB and 150 WAR... And I accomplished all that playing half my career in the most demanding franchise in MLB. You know how much I get paid??? Other than the fictional 330 million for the 11 years I signed, NOTHING!
Dawg I was the second option on my undefeated 4th grade basketball team in my towns youth league. Let's be honest, that means much more than whatever accolades you got in that lame backyard sports league.
Fun fact, throughout the history of the WNBA, there have been a whopping 28 dunks. While at the same time, your friend Steph Curry, who is a sniper, not a dunker, has scored 30 dunks. Pretty crazy, eh?
@@topspot4834me too 😂 i saw one match where the defender literally opened their way for britney griner to dunk and she missed no defender infront of her no nothing and she missed
I didn't realise how skilful the NBA was until I watched a WNBA game. It's like I didn't realise my father was alcoholic until he came home sober one night.
There's some irony in that statement since a big thing that people used to say in defence of the WNBA was that it wasn't about high scores like the NBA, it was about skilled women showing off their skills, marketing it as though you'd see low-scores because the defence was so much better than in the NBA, meaning that you'd see much more intense and skillful games in the WNBA than you'd see in the NBA.
@@qty1315 Bs, it's about gender equality with a total disregard to reality. I do get the desire to treat all people with respect and present everyone an equal starting line in life. But we should and can't ignore that people ultimately are not the same and thus even the value they bring in the world is not the same. It doesn't disregard their effort nor the importance of that value to society on whatever level. Like with any ecosystem, every part matters. But wanting that everyone is top of the food chain is unrealistic. Pretty much why we have NBA and WNBA and not mixed gender NBA where teams are made according to skill and not political, like mandatory to have x numbers of players of that gender and x numbers of another gender. It's not realistic.
It’s like a parent company constantly propping up a failing business unit that it refuses to shut down. And then that business turns around and bad mouths the parent company. It really makes no sense from an actual business standpoint.
Yeah, Igoudala don't need to put no " 'spect" on anyone's name when the WNBA game that's presented is total trash and one of their top marquee faces is in a Russian jail serving 9 years for cannabis smuggling.
@@tylerconsul7865 True. Thing is I want these women to get a bigger bag but fucking earn it instead of just crying for it. Someone suggested lowering the hoop to make it easier to dunk so the WNBA would be more entertaining and the WNBA players just scoffed at it. BITCH DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY WNBA PLAYERS CAN DUNK?????? LMFAO LITERALLY 95% OF THE PLAYERS IN THE NBA CAN AT LEAST DUNK THE BALL CANT SAY THE SAME FOR THE WNBA.
The teams come and go like crazy. Many of the teams have folded or closed shop and opened up in another city. Several years ago...the LA Sparks folded....the LA team. It was started back up...but your team in the number 2 tv market should never struggle

People will actually think top athletes in top leagues across various sports are overpaid until you realize they bring in 20 times that amount in viewership, sponsorships and other revenue. Of course teams are willing to give a top player who’s also marketable 20 million a year because they will make 10 times that from him and maybe even sweep up a trophy or two along the way.
That's too bad. What's the home team? I guarantee you that doesn't happen at a Mercury or Aces game!! They're loads of fun!!! Or at least used to be, before the entirety of sports determined "white people are racist" 🤷
@@winkletown8828 Washington Mystics late 90's everything but the game was fun. Half time show was good but the game not so much. I seen better warmups in the NBA
I remember Shaq suggesting lowering the rims on the WNBA and he was almost cancelled. Brittney Griner is the same height as LeBron James, but when she dunks it's celebrated like she did Vince Carter's 360° windmill reverse from the 2000 dunk contest. She's THAT unathletic and uncoordinated! 😂
It makes sense. The average WNBA player is shorter by about 6 inches. The NBA wouldn't be as entertaining either if they raised the rim by half a foot.
Did you see her miss two unguarded dunks at the end of the video? She's taller than me and I can get closer than that. Just seeing them play is cringey
Irony is Skylar didn’t bring up how she makes far more money in endorsements based on mainly her looks as a pro female athlete…. There lots of female athletes past and present who made millions in endorsements due to their looks but underachieved in their own sport
Yeah, I mean for fuck sake. At 6' 9'' you can't "work on" your vertical jump enough to dunk the ball? Jesus Christ, that's just plain lack of effort. Have none of these ever heard the stories of the work ethic of guys like Jordan who worked like a DOG for his whole career. Why doesn't that level of determination touch a nerve with these laydeees and make them want to emulate the likes of Jordan. I mean, Nike still has a dedicated Jordan section and the guy retired like nearly 20 years ago. That's legend right there laydeeees, that's what you're up against.
The problem is the women's ego. They REALLY think they are on par with the ACTUAL NBA. I'm sorry but a WNBA game as talented as they may be, is amatuer hour in comparrison. Soooo many air balls and missed layups and constant turnovers... And you expect to be paid what the Nba league gets paid? They don't get paid nearly as much because there isn't nearly enough demand for it. No one really cares to watch it
There's a lot of WNBA players that are excellent shooters. Plenty of players shoot above 40% for 3-pointers and 90% on free throws. The person who uploaded this just chose to pick the absolute worst clips to make the players look unskilled.
@@jaybee946 I was talking about more than just this video. Yes there are a few women who can shoot 3s like there are NBA players who really can't but the amount that you see in games uncontested is crazy, at least in the few games I have watched of WNBA. The women's NCAA is better to watch, the caliber feels better if it isn't. Idk I'm not massive on basketball anyway but I'll watch if it's on.
Imagine if the NBA started a diminutive league for us smaller players and our salary per year ranged between 60k-90k a year, how many of us would complain? Exactly, nobody.
Im old, broken, and out of shape and i still dont miss open lay ups. Yet these best of the best women in this video are consistently missing open layups. Smh
If you enjoy fundamentally solid basketball, the women’s game is actually much more interesting than men’s. The mens game places a huge emphasis on athleticism. That allows them to not always play fundamentally well and still dominate. The women’s game is all based on fundamentals and execution. They’re not athletic enough to be able to ignore those. In a way it’s a more pure version of the game (if not as exciting).
i look forward to the day the nba stops giving this league money so these strong wamen can stand on their own feet the success of their league will be on their shoulders alone
Wait... The NBA gives them the money? They don't have to earn it by sponsors, merch and tickets? So what are they complaining about? The NBA must be losing money with this, I can't see how this can be profitable in any way.
The NBA subsidizes the WNBA with sponsors, player salaries, coach salaries, and pretty much everything else they need. When you have less than half of your teams operating at a profit. What more can you really ask for
On one side I could see..."say my name" but players, coaches and analysts refer to players by number all the time. Pat Riley famously said "no one will win out of the East until number 23 is out of Chicago" and then he retired his number. I guess Jordan should have "taken that personally."
As an accountant, I look at the numbers and wonder where the arrogance of WNBA players comes from. The WNBA is an enterprise that would not exist but for the financial support of the NBA. If that funding ever stops, this conversation is moot. In the real world if your business is not profitable you won’t be around in 25 years. I don’t see how lashing out at the NBA or critics of the WNBA helps the WNBA achieve profitability but somehow I suspect that sort of behavior will continue. That also means I will continue to spend my time and my entertainment dollars elsewhere.
They do it because they know playing victim and tapping into the "protect women" instinct is a successful strategy. Feminists do it all the time with fudged statistics and appeal to emotion, facts be damned.
What’s crazy to me is that the reason for the pay gap is so incredibly obvious that when I hear WNBA players complaining about it I really wonder if these women have any common sense at all. I was talking to my 15-year the other day about this and he understood it in less than a minute. It’s simple math that an 8-year old can do
I was genuinely looking forward to Kobe’s daughter lighting up that league. She and her father seemed like they were on a mission and that probably would have brought quite a few viewers.
@@marioguti9887 that wasn’t my point I was just saying I would’ve watched her when she made it. I didn’t take a position with that you thought about it too hard
Dude I’ve never watched WNBA but some of the stuff you had on during this video was comical. It looked like a bloopers reel. Air balls, missed passes, passes to nobody, shots to nowhere. As you said the WNBA makes no money so the players make no money. That’s just how it works.
I tried to watch a WNBA game about 10 years ago to try and see if I could get into it. I quit after the first quarter when the score was like 11-6. No way this sells like the NBA. Now if they want to advertise themselves as a DRUG FREE sleeping pill I think they'd make some pretty good money that way because it'll definitely put me to sleep if I try it again
The fact that you're commenting on today's WNBA based on a game played 10 years ago in a sport that is very, very much still growing kind of shows your bias tho

Serena and rousey already got humbled. Rousey got beat up and basically ran from the sport after claiming she could beat up Floyd Mayweather and Serena played the 300th ranked male tennis player and he destroyed her.
@@selfmade8884 Indeed but Serena made more money than 90% of male tennis players and Rousey was the biggest draw and had the fattest paycheck for a year or two. Humbling aside they proved its a matter of being entertaining and being able to get fans in the stands to get that good money. Everyone knows they ain't beating their male counterparts though.
I asked a female ex-college basketball player if she thought it would be a good idea to lower the net by 1 foot to increase the excitement in the WNBA. (potential for more slam dunks and scores) She said it would help the women out a lot. She is all for it. But she said the women don't want to seem less than. So they want to keep it where it is.
Everyone seems to forget the reason why professionals exist in sports, it’s because the average person cannot achieve that level of performance. Most men between the ages of 15 to 20 of average skill could wipe the floor with any WNBA team, this is why we don’t watch it because we believe in our heads whether it’s true or not that we were at one time as good if not better than they are. So it is considered boring and average, this makes it not special. Not to mention it is slower than slow.
That little section where that WNBA player trying to dunk at the end was the saddest thing. no one blocking her or anything, and still missed both dunks lol.
Whats even worse is that she is the best dunker in WNBA history. I think like 80 or 90% of the dunks in the history of the league are by her Edit: did a fact check, and Brittney Griner (the woman that missed 2 open dunks in the clip) has 23 of the 28 dunks ever performed in the WNBA, or 82% (as of October 2021).
@@lucasimmons075 If the only player in the entire history of WNBA who even has the ability to be decent at dunking can miss it so easily. Just imagine how bad others will struggle. It's literally a once in a career achievement for 99.99% WNBA players. Still they ask for equal pay. Absolutely shameless. They don't want to earn any money through hard work. They want to be paid equal to Jordan, LeBron & Kobe. For them being a woman should be the only criterion.
I once had a coworker tell me women can compete with men in all sports and that women just need more time to catchup. I gave her the simplest example I could. I showed her a chart of powerlifting stats from beginner to elite by weight/sex. She still thought sexism held women back in society and that in a couple decades with more opportunities they'll catchup... lol You can't reason with intellectual dishonesty, or stupid.
Like others on the comment section I suggested lowering the rim. That would make the game more interesting. One woman told me that they can play competitively with the men. Right. Also they didn't want any special privileges in the game. I pointed out the basketball the WNBA is smaller. So if they're willing to make that change drop the basket by one foot. Spectators want some excitement. In the NBA attendance skyrocketed when players were allowed to dunk and the advent of the three-point shot. You'll also notice that typically the media doesn't show the upper deck fans. I wonder why? Rhetorical question.
If a bunch of teenage boys soccer players can beat the US World Cup winning Women, then I can see NBA bums as we call them easily beating WNBA players 1v1. They should be more receptive to positive exposure from NBA players instead of trashing it.
As a retired counselor with 46 years of experience, my observation of the WMBA is that a group of players who either will not or cannot or refuse to face the reality of their situation. I had many people across the years of my practice who were likeminded. Facing reality isn’t fun but very necessary. I hope they face it soon.
Why were some WNBA players were in their feelings when some NBA players showed them some love? They should be thankful for any positive feedback whenever they receive it. Biting the hand that feeds them is never cool since the WNBA has been living off of handouts from the NBA for their entire existence.
It's like the guy in the video said you just can't please some people. If the NBA stops paying this league and basically forces them to get sponsors and stuff like that they know these women will snap at them for being sexist and not caring about women's basketball on the other hand though when a NBA player shows them kindness they bite their head off. You just can't win.
The WNBA is largely populated by a segment of women that fuels the gender wars. They have the type of personality that wants to compete with men and out do them, and when it comes to professional basketball at this point in evolution, that is an unwinnable battle. So they come off as salty when they should be grateful. Without NBA funding the league would've folded by now, or they would be scrapping by making significantly less pay.
Teach them a lesson tell them that for 2 seasons they'll have to fund themselves - just watch how quickly they call it 'Sexism' rather than an economic excercise in proof that the WNBA isn't worth a tin can of hot piss!!.
When I watch it just looks like a passionless game with low skill players. Women's volleyball has more heart and effort than what I see in a WNBA game.
Totally agree. There are a few sports where I actually prefer the female version. I prefer female volleyball and also female street skateboarding, but men’s park skateboarding. With men’s street skateboarding, the tricks have gotten sooooo elaborate that I can’t even follow them anymore. But women’s street skateboarding is just right. Like skateboarding in the 90s. Those chicks pull blunt slides in competition. That was a big deal in the 90s.
Faster, stronger, higher stamina players are far more entertaining to watch so they have to change some aspect of the game to make it better for women. There's nothing wrong with accepting natural biological limitations. Lowering the hoop height a bit for example would lead to more dunks and more shots on target. At present both those stats are very low compared to the NBA and it leads to boring games.
Even if they could, I doubt they'd try to dunk too much...The whole gameplay of WNBA looks like they're afraid to try because they might hurt themselves.
@@Godl1ked I agree. It's because tall women struggle to build enough muscle to control quick movements precisely. They know they're not in control so don't bother trying to push themselves. Tall men don't have the same problem.
@@Lord_Falcon Like 10-12 years ago, when Parkour was on the rise and very popular around the world, one parkour coach gave an interview. In one segment he talked about having 2 girls who were his students. He said that...Physically, those 2 girls have to work 2 times as hard and for 2 times longer to achieve the same result as his boy pupils. I mean...Isn't that what we see every day. Why is the world lying to women that they're better than men in everything ? When women could simply branch out into occupations where they have real strengths and can be better than men ? Why are they torturing themselves with occupations they cannot do good in, and in the end blame men for their own choices ?
Women basketball court needs to shrink and hoop height drop to 9, 8 1/2 or 8ft. And the ball may needs to shrink a bit according to ladies hand small. Why WNBA use the size of men equipment. Just thought. Same with women volleyball net 7 inches lower than men.
I once asked my niece if she wants to watch a WNBA game and she laughed hysterically. Says something about their product, because my niece is a fan of basketball.
The best part of this video was the WNBA air balling layups in the background while he provided commentary of WNBA players saying they deserved the same pay 😂
@@Redridge07 true that, but the NBA’s best plays vary a lot from from the WNBA’s For example: The WNBA has amassed 28 dunks over its history, while Lebron James alone has has almost 2,000🙂 It’s just more exiting gameplay
This is a good point. I get the athleticism isn’t there but they should be able to do no look passes, finesse layups and some dribble moves. Something right?

The first WNBA players were actually good. They worked on their skills and took pride in their performance. After they retired these new players are just the best of the worst. The offices have to take them because if they didn't they wouldn't have enough players which would result in no league. They criticize their male counterparts who are sacrificing their profits to not only keep their league open but to pay their salaries. Ungrateful and entitled. I can only imagine how they are in relationships. How do they want someone to respect their game when their lack of skills show that they don't even respect their own league
I kind of agree with you. The first wave of players had good ball movement and knew how to play both sides of the court and shoot only good shots (looked like a good high school team whose coach was a disciplinarian). The players now seem to be trying to play NBA style without the physical ability and talent to make it work. It just looks sloppy.
It’s funny cause most people who do or potentially would watch the WNBA are fans of the Nba meaning they see wnba players bashing the nba. Why would they wanna watch?
I just researched wnba ,there are 12 teams in the league, playing 32 games total in regular season . NY Liberty having a losing record of 12-20 were making it to the play-off WTH?
I found two season tickets nailed to the front door of Barclays centre. "I'll have both of them" I said to myself. You never know when you'll need two nails.
I’ve been saying the following for years: they need to lower the goals and reduce the ball size. It’s nothing against the players, but if you’re missing that many shots and you can’t dunk, then just change the rules and make it competitive
The best take on the WNBA I've ever heard was that if you can't get dudes to watch and pay for the Lingerie Football League then they will never watch the WNBA.
@@georgeruiz8870 see they suck at marketing as well I seen it but it’s like I feel guilty watching because of feminism if men were respectively allowed to drool over girls on lingerie playing football and not be label a creep more men would watch But it’s people watching it like it serious which it’s actually a lot more tense and looks a lot more dangerous
@@georgeruiz8870 Lingerie Football League still exists, but it's called the Legends Football League now. They have a RUclips channel where you can check them out called the X League (I think they are changing their name again, now to the X League). It has a cult following and is a niche success. NOT a mainstream success, but it has a cult following of fans that keep it alive.
@@razzledazzle8631 It's the same in soccer. the US women's NATIONAL team has repeatedly lost to U17 and even U15 BOYS teams (most recently in 2020 to the U15 boys Dallas Stars). It's not sexist to pay less for an inferior product. The fact that US colleges actually make billions in profit while their product (the male athletes) are compensated with "an education" worth a few hundred thousand, is a far greater injustice that should be addressed.
I watched another video a while ago that suggested that they make the rim a little lower for the WNBA. Volleyball lowers their nets for women and it allows them to make the same exciting plays that you'd see men making on their taller nets. Same idea would apply to the WNBA. This simple fix could make it a much more exciting product to watch.
I think what’s fair is giving them a bonus based off a percentage of the profits of the WNBA. So, now they owe the WNBA about $50 each after giving back their salaries.
When Djokovic tries to explain the same thing about male-female tennis, he gets an outragious backlash from like...everyone. And he is simply put, right.
I played in HS and college; same for my daughter. But while I am a fan of a few talented and classy players, I am not a fan of the WNBA, either, for the same reasons you mentioned. Some of them act like they are owed something, oblivious as to how fortunate they are to be getting a paycheck for doing this, especially when they have to give away tickets to fill the stands. While a few players have represented the league well (Tamika Catchings, Maya Moore, Elena Delle Donne, to name a few), overall, the league just doesn’t exhibit much humility. And let’s just say what everybody else is thinking: it would help if so many of them didn’t look and act like men. Well…”street thugs”, coz it’s an insult to men to say they look and act like men. I got tired of watching it.
They forget that ALL sports leagues had to build their leagues in order to give players the big bucks. Baseball players in the 1900's barely made pennies for playing. Some professional athletes in many sports still have to have second jobs! Some Olympic athletes struggle. They also fail to see how many sport leagues fail. XFL was promoted in the 90's to rival thr NFL, but ultimately only lasted one seasons. What this is is them thinking that equality means they can bypass all the hardwork.

Yup. I have had a horrible reaction from a WNBA player back when there was a team in Charlotte... I went to Concord mills mall and recognized a player and I said hello and that I really enjoy watching her play. She cursed at me telling me to leave her tf alone. 😒 I did leave her alone as well as watching the Sting. I was offended. How do you talk to a fan like that?
I remember when my summer camp that I worked at took the kids to see a New York liberty game and it was so trash that we decided to leave even though we also had a meet and greet set up with the players just to go to the park and play instead which we all agreed was a way better choice and the camp never went back to any WNBA games after that despite being offered free tickets for the whole camp multiple times
The same happened as well in Texas at an girls AAU tournament all the girls refused to go the wnba game instead some went to the movies other went back to their hotes . By the way they was giving free tickets and meet and greet
I cannot stress this enough, I got freebies to a Liberty game a few years back, and I cannot remember the opponent not what team won. It was just awful to watch. The game is crap, and I cannot believe the WNBA champs could beat the NYC High School Champs. As a matter of fact, I would bet everything I own and bet the High school kids would rip them apart. It happened to the women's soccer team; a high school team killed them, and the same thing to Serena Williams in a doubles match; she could not return a volley from a man.
Lower the rim in the WNBA and make the Court smaller and I guarantee you it will become immediately more watchable and fun. The slower pace is helped because there's less distance to travel so it appears the game is quicker, and the rim being lower will help scoring and dunking. Snobbery and wanting to be the same as men is what's hurting the WNBA. The organisation needs to swallow it's pride and make the necessary changes to help make it entertaining, which is the purpose of a sport. Entertain the audience and help them to invest their time and money into following it. Bigger audience means more women watch the sport and more young girls begin to idolise the players in the league and want to emulate them and the talent pool grows. They need to give up trying to compete with the NBA. they will never win, they need their own audience
Ik let’s see how they do on there own 💀 since they wanna go get paid more restart the WNBA on your own like the NBA did and let’s see how u do then. If y’all wanna get paid more the NBA alr funding the WNBA. If the WNBA can’t make enough money to get paid more with the nba funding obviously nobody wants to watch your sport. It’s like being a professional racket ball player in America and asking to get paid millions of dollars. Ain’t nobody wanna watch racket ball especially if theres tennis. And if nobody wants to watch it then your not gonna make good money.
The NBA, need to invest in there product to make it better where want to buy it, just like you would do for any other company. There was a time when the NBA wasn't what it is today.
I actually watch WNBA from time to time. I really would love them see grow as a league and the players develop more. However, they should humble themselves first.
I'd be glad I was getting paid to play a sport instead of grinding out a living working a job. Years ago, men players didn't make enough money playing to live off of, they had to keep their day job. It took years for the NBA, MLB NFL etcetera to get to that point. I'd love to see softball, women's rugby and other sports grow. They need the time to do so. They're also competing with well established sports. That's something male sports didn't have to contend with in the mid to late 1800s when those sports started establishing themselves professionally. Screaming about it isn't going to make it happen. Getting out there, playing, improving those sports is.
It's the same moaning rubbish from the women in the WSL in Britain. Since winning the Euro Trophy in July one of the ex players came out with a classic piece of delusionary thinking - "We should play ALL of our WSL matches at Premiership grounds this season". IS SHE SERIOUS?. They can't even fill the 3rd rate training grounds that they play at now - the average attendance is STILL 600-1200 AND THAT'S AFTER THEY'VE WON THE EURO CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. What other proof do they want that if the tournament tickets weren't subsidised by the FA then they would have been lucky to attract a stray dog with fleas!!.
Glad you brought up women’s rugby because well it has grown. I remember watching a decade ago and being uninterested because it was too soft and lacked the skill offered by the men’s professional level. Now, I watch some of those game like NZ women and my reaction is “damn they are ruthless and fearless” which is entertaining in a rugby context. A sport like rugby won’t be equal because well 100-150kg freaks of nature that could all dump me at a 100m is super entertaining but it took time for men rugby to get there, a lot of time. I think a lot of people don’t like it when new leagues come along and feel entitled to have the same pay as other leagues without having put in the work and time to deserve it. UFC does a great job at that, some of these female MMA fighters are payed too dollar because they put in the work which in turn makes any of their fights interesting and entertaining to watch.
Jesus that last girl cussing Harrison Barnes for not being a good player while lauding her accomplishments... It would be straight up murder if they played a one on one.

In my life I think I tried twice to see an WNBA game on tv and honestly I was embarrassed for the players. Seems like they miss more than they score- you gotta keep it real, skill level is difference like night and day. I would never paid to go see an WNBA games but NBA you bet'cha.
They should lower the frickin RIM in the WNBA. If they did that, it would make it more interesting. They can dunk, have less air balls, not miss layups as much, and over all be more competitive. If it was more competitive, the game would be a lot more fun to watch but I doubt this is going to happen because the players are going to be butthurt.
WNBA gets an infinitesimally small fraction of the NBA's attendance and they expect equal pay. Not to mention the skill level of the WNBA is nowhere near that of the NBA.
I remember when tmac suggested lowering the rims so that they can dunk. Which he felt would help bring in more people. The wnba player was so offended. Like they don't seem to understand that no one wants to watch a bunch of layups and jump shots. Do something that will make your game marketable

I was also kind of robbed of at least two MVPs...
In two seasons, I'll be confortably over 3000 hits, 500 HRs, 500 SB and 150 WAR... And I accomplished all that playing half my career in the most demanding franchise in MLB. You know how much I get paid??? Other than the fictional 330 million for the 11 years I signed, NOTHING!

There's some irony in that statement since a big thing that people used to say in defence of the WNBA was that it wasn't about high scores like the NBA, it was about skilled women showing off their skills, marketing it as though you'd see low-scores because the defence was so much better than in the NBA, meaning that you'd see much more intense and skillful games in the WNBA than you'd see in the NBA.

It makes sense. The average WNBA player is shorter by about 6 inches. The NBA wouldn't be as entertaining either if they raised the rim by half a foot.

If you enjoy fundamentally solid basketball, the women’s game is actually much more interesting than men’s. The mens game places a huge emphasis on athleticism. That allows them to not always play fundamentally well and still dominate. The women’s game is all based on fundamentals and execution. They’re not athletic enough to be able to ignore those.

As an accountant, I look at the numbers and wonder where the arrogance of WNBA players comes from. The WNBA is an enterprise that would not exist but for the financial support of the NBA. If that funding ever stops, this conversation is moot. In the real world if your business is not profitable you won’t be around in 25 years. I don’t see how lashing out at the NBA or critics of the WNBA helps the WNBA achieve profitability but somehow I suspect that sort of behavior will continue. That also means I will continue to spend my time and my entertainment dollars elsewhere.
They do it because they know playing victim and tapping into the "protect women" instinct is a successful strategy. Feminists do it all the time with fudged statistics and appeal to emotion, facts be damned.

The WNBA is a charity that doesn't even get donations. How on earth can their staff even feel entitled to higher pay?

As a retired counselor with 46 years of experience, my observation of the WMBA is that a group of players who either will not or cannot or refuse to face the reality of their situation. I had many people across the years of my practice who were likeminded. Facing reality isn’t fun but very necessary. I hope they face it soon.
WNBA
Why were some WNBA players were in their feelings when some NBA players showed them some love? They should be thankful for any positive feedback whenever they receive it. Biting the hand that feeds them is never cool since the WNBA has been living off of handouts from the NBA for their entire existence.
It's like the guy in the video said you just can't please some people. If the NBA stops paying this league and basically forces them to get sponsors and stuff like that they know these women will snap at them for being sexist and not caring about women's basketball on the other hand though when a NBA player shows them kindness they bite their head off. You just can't win.
The WNBA is largely populated by a segment of women that fuels the gender wars. They have the type of personality that wants to compete with men and out do them, and when it comes to professional basketball at this point in evolution, that is an unwinnable battle. So they come off as salty when they should be grateful. Without NBA funding the league would've folded by now, or they would be scrapping by making significantly less pay.
@@matthewcrispinwordofGod I totally agree.
💯💯
Teach them a lesson tell them that for 2 seasons they'll have to fund themselves - just watch how quickly they call it 'Sexism' rather than an economic excercise in proof that the WNBA isn't worth a tin can of hot piss!!.
When I watch it just looks like a passionless game with low skill players. Women's volleyball has more heart and effort than what I see in a WNBA game.
Totally agree. There are a few sports where I actually prefer the female version. I prefer female volleyball and also female street skateboarding, but men’s park skateboarding.
With men’s street skateboarding, the tricks have gotten sooooo elaborate that I can’t even follow them anymore. But women’s street skateboarding is just right. Like skateboarding in the 90s. Those chicks pull blunt slides in competition. That was a big deal in the 90s.
This is a very true statement
Same with netball in Australia. Those women are ridiculous and the skills are silky.

Great comment! They're never satisfied

No matter how good you are at sports, it doesn’t generate revenue if their league isn’t interesting
It alwYs makes me laugh that videos like this probably have more views then the combine total WNBA season clips
My friend, this isn’t only laughable but it’s also true!
Holy shit lol damn
Faster, stronger, higher stamina players are far more entertaining to watch so they have to change some aspect of the game to make it better for women. There's nothing wrong with accepting natural biological limitations. Lowering the hoop height a bit for example would lead to more dunks and more shots on target. At present both those stats are very low compared to the NBA and it leads to boring games.
The WNBA have to give away 25% of their tickets just to get people to come in - COMPLETE JOKE!!.
There’s too much logic here take this comment down 😂😭
Even if they could, I doubt they'd try to dunk too much...The whole gameplay of WNBA looks like they're afraid to try because they might hurt themselves.
@@Godl1ked I agree. It's because tall women struggle to build enough muscle to control quick movements precisely. They know they're not in control so don't bother trying to push themselves. Tall men don't have the same problem.
@@Lord_Falcon Like 10-12 years ago, when Parkour was on the rise and very popular around the world, one parkour coach gave an interview. In one segment he talked about having 2 girls who were his students.
He said that...Physically, those 2 girls have to work 2 times as hard and for 2 times longer to achieve the same result as his boy pupils.
I mean...Isn't that what we see every day. Why is the world lying to women that they're better than men in everything ? When women could simply branch out into occupations where they have real strengths and can be better than men ? Why are they torturing themselves with occupations they cannot do good in, and in the end blame men for their own choices ?
Women basketball court needs to shrink and hoop height drop to 9, 8 1/2 or 8ft. And the ball may needs to shrink a bit according to ladies hand small. Why WNBA use the size of men equipment. Just thought. Same with women volleyball net 7 inches lower than men.
I once asked my niece if she wants to watch a WNBA game and she laughed hysterically. Says something about their product, because my niece is a fan of basketball.
Adam Morrison, Anthony Bennett, with me and the boys would’ve won every championship in the WNBA for 15 years or until we retired.
Then you can all come out of retirement when you're all in your 60's and win the championship again, and without ever losing a game.
Hell, if you and the boys, were high level HS players, you wouldn't need Morrison or Bennett.
Alex Caruso, Quavo, J cole, Justin Bieber and Me would absolutely dominate WNBA every single season without losing a game

For example: The WNBA has amassed 28 dunks over its history, while Lebron James alone has has almost 2,000🙂

They get paid way too much for what they are doing. Middle schoolers are better nowadays, they cant even make a layup.
I feel when watching these women play, its like they never develop after HS. Its the same type of play and talent as a girls HS game.
This is a good point. I get the athleticism isn’t there but they should be able to do no look passes, finesse layups and some dribble moves. Something right?
@@astrocade9541 even for defense you don't need so much athleticism

The first WNBA players were actually good. They worked on their skills and took pride in their performance. After they retired these new players are just the best of the worst. The offices have to take them because if they didn't they wouldn't have enough players which would result in no league. They criticize their male counterparts who are sacrificing their profits to not only keep their league open but to pay their salaries.
Ungrateful and entitled. I can only imagine how they are in relationships. How do they want someone to respect their game when their lack of skills show that they don't even respect their own league
I kind of agree with you. The first wave of players had good ball movement and knew how to play both sides of the court and shoot only good shots (looked like a good high school team whose coach was a disciplinarian). The players now seem to be trying to play NBA style without the physical ability and talent to make it work. It just looks sloppy.
They are mostly LGBTQ so don't imagine
You're talking about the players from the Swin Cash era? Absolutely.
They are biting the hand that feeds them if the nba stopped funding them they wouldn’t have a league to play in
Relationships? In case you didn't know the majority of the WNBA players are gay. Their personalities don't come across as fan friendly on the screen.
I almost feel like I can drive to my local basketball spots around my area and gather a roster that would beat a WNBA team

I’ve been saying the following for years: they need to lower the goals and reduce the ball size. It’s nothing against the players, but if you’re missing that many shots and you can’t dunk, then just change the rules and make it competitive
The best take on the WNBA I've ever heard was that if you can't get dudes to watch and pay for the Lingerie Football League then they will never watch the WNBA.

The fact that US colleges actually make billions in profit while their product (the male athletes) are compensated with "an education" worth a few hundred thousand, is a far greater injustice that should be addressed.
@@nullgeodesic9423 I could not agree more
My 12 yo AAU team would stomp them. The pace would be way too much and it was far more physical than they could muster
I watched another video a while ago that suggested that they make the rim a little lower for the WNBA. Volleyball lowers their nets for women and it allows them to make the same exciting plays that you'd see men making on their taller nets. Same idea would apply to the WNBA. This simple fix could make it a much more exciting product to watch.
I have been saying this for years.
Good fix yes but the players would cancel their own league because it would be “insulting” to them
While theyre at it why not add trampolines so they cant miss their dunks huh? Jfc.
You can't compare female volleyball to wnba lmao, the female volleyball teams are just better
@@furretman3741 true
I think what’s fair is giving them a bonus based off a percentage of the profits of the WNBA. So, now they owe the WNBA about $50 each after giving back their salaries.
When Djokovic tries to explain the same thing about male-female tennis, he gets an outragious backlash from like...everyone. And he is simply put, right.
I played in HS and college; same for my daughter. But while I am a fan of a few talented and classy players, I am not a fan of the WNBA, either, for the same reasons you mentioned. Some of them act like they are owed something, oblivious as to how fortunate they are to be getting a paycheck for doing this, especially when they have to give away tickets to fill the stands. While a few players have represented the league well (Tamika Catchings, Maya Moore, Elena Delle Donne, to name a few), overall, the league just doesn’t exhibit much humility. And let’s just say what everybody else is thinking: it would help if so many of them didn’t look and act like men. Well…”street thugs”, coz it’s an insult to men to say they look and act like men. I got tired of watching it.
They forget that ALL sports leagues had to build their leagues in order to give players the big bucks. Baseball players in the 1900's barely made pennies for playing. Some professional athletes in many sports still have to have second jobs! Some Olympic athletes struggle.
They also fail to see how many sport leagues fail. XFL was promoted in the 90's to rival thr NFL, but ultimately only lasted one seasons.
What this is is them thinking that equality means they can bypass all the hardwork.

Yup. I have had a horrible reaction from a WNBA player back when there was a team in Charlotte...
I went to Concord mills mall and recognized a player and I said hello and that I really enjoy watching her play. She cursed at me telling me to leave her tf alone. 😒 I did leave her alone as well as watching the Sting. I was offended. How do you talk to a fan like that?
I remember when my summer camp that I worked at took the kids to see a New York liberty game and it was so trash that we decided to leave even though we also had a meet and greet set up with the players just to go to the park and play instead which we all agreed was a way better choice and the camp never went back to any WNBA games after that despite being offered free tickets for the whole camp multiple times
Bahahahahahaha brutal lmao
That’s hilarious
they need to pad the courts
Ditching the meet and greet was dirty 😂
The same happened as well in Texas at an girls AAU tournament all the girls refused to go the wnba game instead some went to the movies other went back to their hotes .
By the way they was giving free tickets and meet and greet
I cannot stress this enough, I got freebies to a Liberty game a few years back, and I cannot remember the opponent not what team won. It was just awful to watch. The game is crap, and I cannot believe the WNBA champs could beat the NYC High School Champs. As a matter of fact, I would bet everything I own and bet the High school kids would rip them apart. It happened to the women's soccer team; a high school team killed them, and the same thing to Serena Williams in a doubles match; she could not return a volley from a man.
Lower the rim in the WNBA and make the Court smaller and I guarantee you it will become immediately more watchable and fun. The slower pace is helped because there's less distance to travel so it appears the game is quicker, and the rim being lower will help scoring and dunking. Snobbery and wanting to be the same as men is what's hurting the WNBA. The organisation needs to swallow it's pride and make the necessary changes to help make it entertaining, which is the purpose of a sport. Entertain the audience and help them to invest their time and money into following it. Bigger audience means more women watch the sport and more young girls begin to idolise the players in the league and want to emulate them and the talent pool grows. They need to give up trying to compete with the NBA. they will never win, they need their own audience

@@vicO1323 they still struggle to dunk tho, if u legit dunk you'l be in the dang hall of fame

Ik let’s see how they do on there own 💀 since they wanna go get paid more restart the WNBA on your own like the NBA did and let’s see how u do then. If y’all wanna get paid more the NBA alr funding the WNBA. If the WNBA can’t make enough money to get paid more with the nba funding obviously nobody wants to watch your sport. It’s like being a professional racket ball player in America and asking to get paid millions of dollars. Ain’t nobody wanna watch racket ball especially if theres tennis. And if nobody wants to watch it then your not gonna make good money.

The NBA, need to invest in there product to make it better where want to buy it, just like you would do for any other company. There was a time when the NBA wasn't what it is today.
Maybe they'll put some more respect on the game

I actually watch WNBA from time to time. I really would love them see grow as a league and the players develop more. However, they should humble themselves first.
They should get paid less.

I'd be glad I was getting paid to play a sport instead of grinding out a living working a job. Years ago, men players didn't make enough money playing to live off of, they had to keep their day job. It took years for the NBA, MLB NFL etcetera to get to that point. I'd love to see softball, women's rugby and other sports grow. They need the time to do so. They're also competing with well established sports. That's something male sports didn't have to contend with in the mid to late 1800s when those sports started establishing themselves professionally. Screaming about it isn't going to make it happen. Getting out there, playing, improving those sports is.
It's the same moaning rubbish from the women in the WSL in Britain. Since winning the Euro Trophy in July one of the ex players came out with a classic piece of delusionary thinking - "We should play ALL of our WSL matches at Premiership grounds this season". IS SHE SERIOUS?. They can't even fill the 3rd rate training grounds that they play at now - the average attendance is STILL 600-1200 AND THAT'S AFTER THEY'VE WON THE EURO CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY. What other proof do they want that if the tournament tickets weren't subsidised by the FA then they would have been lucky to attract a stray dog with fleas!!.
Glad you brought up women’s rugby because well it has grown. I remember watching a decade ago and being uninterested because it was too soft and lacked the skill offered by the men’s professional level. Now, I watch some of those game like NZ women and my reaction is “damn they are ruthless and fearless” which is entertaining in a rugby context. A sport like rugby won’t be equal because well 100-150kg freaks of nature that could all dump me at a 100m is super entertaining but it took time for men rugby to get there, a lot of time. I think a lot of people don’t like it when new leagues come along and feel entitled to have the same pay as other leagues without having put in the work and time to deserve it. UFC does a great job at that, some of these female MMA fighters are payed too dollar because they put in the work which in turn makes any of their fights interesting and entertaining to watch.

I can't watch that crap!!
They should lower the frickin RIM in the WNBA. If they did that, it would make it more interesting. They can dunk, have less air balls, not miss layups as much, and over all be more competitive. If it was more competitive, the game would be a lot more fun to watch but I doubt this is going to happen because the players are going to be butthurt.
WNBA gets an infinitesimally
small fraction of the NBA's attendance and they expect equal pay. Not to mention the skill level of the WNBA is nowhere near that of the NBA.
I remember when tmac suggested lowering the rims so that they can dunk. Which he felt would help bring in more people. The wnba player was so offended. Like they don't seem to understand that no one wants to watch a bunch of layups and jump shots. Do something that will make your game marketable
