Lol, this is a straw man. I don’t think most WNBA players and their supporters are calling for them to be paid like the top players in the NBA. They mostly want to be paid well enough that they don’t have to go get summer jobs in Russia.WNBA players deserve raises relative to the WNBA, but they can’t possibly expect to be paid like the top players in the NBA, that makes no sense.
The WNBA operates at a loss every year of their existence. I’m not sure they can afford to.Lol, this is a straw man.

Yea, some truth to this. I would like to see the numbers in the last few years bcos their tv viewership is increasing. I think revenue is going up too.The WNBA operates at a loss every year of their existence. I’m not sure they can afford to.
The reason why I said that was because whenever a role player in the NBA signs a big contract they like to compare.Yea, some truth to this. I would like to see the numbers in the last few years bcos their tv viewership is increasing. I think revenue is going up too.
The revenue sharing they have right now is too much in favor of the owners, but it seems like they have some mechanisms in the CBA to give more to the players. They just have to hit certain thresholds. Big season coming for them. They need Caitlin Clark to be the prince that was promised (and Reese to some extent, although the more I read, seems like she is not as highly thought of as a prospect. Might not go top 5).
But I only responded to your initial post bcos that “straw man” annoys me so much, lol. My bad.
Sorry for my rambling.
If they had half a clue they would rig the draft a la David Stern. Get Clark to a white town and Reese to a black city and build them as their Magic/Bird rivalry.Yea, some truth to this.

Reese is not that good for the WNBA.If they had half a clue they would rig the draft a la David Stern. Get Clark to a white town and Reese to a black city and build them as their Magic/Bird rivalry.
They gloss right over this. Even when NBA players give them props they take to Twitter all out ragedThe reason why I said that was because whenever a role player in the NBA signs a big contract they like to compare.
Doesn't matter. They need to start marketing players and she is highly marketable. They've had an untold amount of potential stars past through and they've done nothing with them.Reese is not that good for the WNBA.
She’s good in college
Their pay is already being subsidized by the league as is. If they're not drawing the revenue how do they expect pay raises? Can't pay them with money that isn't there.Lol, this is a straw man.
