[Allah_U_Akbar]

Yeah, why don’t we pay a WNBA player $41,000,000 a year like Russell Westbrooks… Just to be fair.

Shaq suggested this and Candace Parker gave him the side eye

 

[Vagrant-718]

Because nobody is watching

They don't get advertising dollars

Nobody is buying merchandise

The attendance is not good

What you are asking for is not equality.....you are advocating for a hand out

Pretty much this. WNBA don’t make money. You would think the same women that advocating for them to be paid more would be filling up the seats but nope, they at the nba games

 

[Marc123]

I dont get what point deadeye is tryin to make?

 

[deadeye]

Bruh. Just giving more money to the players ain’t gon make more folks watch at this stage

They need to do something else

Never said it would.


I've always said from the beginning that the WNBA wouldn't exist without the NBA subsidizing it.

All true.


I'm not advocating for anything.


All I'm doing is calling out the NBA on their hypocrisy.

Nobody said anything about paying any of them $41 million.

 

[deadeye]

That if the NBA really cared about the WNBA like they claim they do..........they'd put more money into it.


Since they haven't...........I have to assume they don't.


And that all the talk they're doing is just for good PR........not anything substantial.

 

[deadeye]

I'm hardly ever wrong though.


However, just for the sake of argument, if what you said is true...........then:

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

It’s not the NBA’s job to make the WNBA poppin. Stop it.

Bolded...

Well duh

You were the one talking about “equality”.

 

[deadeye]

They have an ownership stake in the company.


Therefore, if they really thought it could make money.......they would do everything in their power to make it successful.

 

[deadeye]

You were the one talking about “equality”.

I only said that if they really cared about the WNBA like they claim, they would take steps to make sure they're getting paid more than what they're being paid now.


Never said anything about paying them an exorbitant amount.

 

[Allah_U_Akbar]

I'm hardly ever wrong though.

Don’t make sense investing in something if nobody showing up to the games.

 

[Iceberg_Taylor]

So basically the NBA should continue to put money into a product that its TARGET audience isnt even investing in?
