Man explains in detail why WNBA players get paid less than NBA players and instead of the woman giving a valid counter argument she gets emotional

RyansPutter · 2020-08-08T12:48:19+00:00

I wonder how many WNBA games she's been to, how many she's watched, and how many jerseys she owns.

ShitLordOfTheRings · 2020-08-08T07:41:55+00:00

If you think they should get paid more, then actually go to their games, watch them on TV, and so on. That's how the income is generated, in the first place.

Pooneapple · 2020-08-08T08:05:13+00:00

Equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome.

Edit: thank you for the awards

hambonejamboree_ · 2020-08-08T08:24:48+00:00

And she has to lie to try and bolster her argument.

WeWillAllDie666 · 2020-08-08T09:35:20+00:00

"why do more people watch Formula 1, compared to international lawnmower racing, DISCRIMINATION"

you have to be an absolute fucking idiot of the highest order to not understand why people are more drawn to the cutting edge "elite" level of an event/sport that the lower levels and lower abilities.

WNBA are terrible compared to the NBA. hence nobody wants to watch that shite.

WiganLad82 · 2020-08-08T12:22:09+00:00

I'm British, not an NBA fan but aware of the product and I have a passing interest in the sport. I can name probably 10-15 teams off the top of my head and all the usual players that people know. LeBron, Jordan, Johnson, Rodman, Kobe, Pippin, Bosh etc

I don't know the name of one WNBA team or player.

I am the reason he's trying to get across to this lady, they're not getting paid because nobody, other than the hardcore fans, knows who you are.

In fact I didn't even know there was a WNBA at all until The Game mentioned it in a diss track aimed at (Probably) G-Unit in about 2004.

jakemcex · 2020-08-08T09:09:07+00:00

As a fan of a sport, we want the women's teams to be as good. Means we get to watch more of that sport.

The last Women's World Cup took place while there was no men's football playing. Watched a few games but the quality was just.. awful.

tictactoejelly · 2020-08-08T14:11:20+00:00

According to this chart, total revenue for the NBA is at $7.4b while the WNBA is sitting at $60m.

The average salary of an NBA player is $6.4m.

Or 0.08% of the total league revenue.

The average salary for a WNBA player is $71,635.

Or 0.12% of the total league revenue.

🤔

DarthCallidous · 2020-08-08T11:10:37+00:00

Ronda Rousey completely demolishes her argument.

somerandomshmo · 2020-08-08T11:51:52+00:00

WNBA is boring AF.

They can't even dunk.

OhadiNacnud · 2020-08-08T08:28:22+00:00

The NBA already wastes money on the WNBA. they don't pull a profit, why should they make more. Average salary of 75k is more than they deserve since a mens high school team could beat them.

Hippo_Operator · 2020-08-08T14:00:41+00:00

She may have gotten personally emotional, but she didn't have an emotional outburst. Which I was fully expecting from the title.

If women want women in the WMBA to be paid more, then buy the jerseys, go see them play, support them.

Also side note, if women want clothes with pockets, then stop buying non-pocketed clothes.

Also side note, of women want more women in STEM, then pick up a book and become an engineer.

painful-existance · 2020-08-08T08:38:48+00:00

It’s sad how that women couldn’t understand that in the end it all came down to economics.

davidthygod · 2020-08-08T13:23:12+00:00

Spot on. The best cornhole player in the world makes nothing because no one gives a shit. You have to bring in money to make money.

B1cpfk55 · 2020-08-08T12:42:04+00:00

That moment when she basically says yuck is never sit in the 300’s pretty much sums this whole thing up tbh

jonjonesjohnson · 2020-08-08T11:33:32+00:00

Show her the vid about Rousey

yeti1973 · 2020-08-08T07:57:08+00:00

He could've cut through all the garbage and just said they're shit and nobody wants to watch them it would've been waaay funnier as well

MGTOWayoflife · 2020-08-08T12:14:42+00:00

NBA players like Lebron, Kawhi, Harden, are known across the world. If you ask the average American to name the best wnba player nobody will know because nobody cares about the wnba. It's just a dark inferior, boring league in comparison. It's not sexists, its truths. NbA generates billions in tv deals, shoe sales, tickets, jerseys, ect. When was the last time you seen anyone rep a WNBA jersey?

2020-08-08T11:42:19+00:00

You want equal pay then be equally as good.

SniffSnatch · 2020-08-08T10:06:37+00:00

Ok, why are people so bad at explaining things? Pull up the numbers of views per game, pull up the numbers of $ per view, DONE.

Am I a genius or is everyone a retard?

tyrantgrey · 2020-08-08T14:00:26+00:00

Look how she turned it on him. “He’s shitting on women on valentines day.”

Can’t even argue the points without being shamed.

hotpotato70 · 2020-08-08T12:53:57+00:00

All i heard is she is better than those people who can't afford expensive tickets, but still want to go, so they get the tickets they can afford. She's better than those poors, she'd never sit in those seats.

Ohsoeasy · 2020-08-08T10:48:47+00:00

I didn’t even know the WNBA existed.

That bitch is ignorant talkin bout “I’m going to the WNBA game” between the two. Gtfo, she need to stop lying

DavisR001 · 2020-08-08T12:00:34+00:00

It's like talking to a wall with some people. Why is it so hard to grasp the concept of popularity? Not even men are paid equally in the entertainment industry. Nobody is. Arguing that women in NBA should be paid the same money as men is like wanting your neighbourhood comedian to be paid as much as Dave Chapelle. Even if teams would WANT to pay women the same amount of money as men: Where the fuck does this brainless monkey think the money is coming from? Does she believe that the CEOs just generate money out of their arse? How the fuck are they supposed to pay 40 Million Dollars to one player when the entire WNBA does not generate that money in year?

2020-08-08T08:59:33+00:00

Nobody wants to watch women play sports because nobody wants to die of boredom. 🥱

FEwood · 2020-08-08T14:10:50+00:00

The American High School Freshman boys pole vault record is higher than the women's world record. That's why.

LordFantastic · 2020-08-08T14:09:17+00:00

I love how she's yelling at the man like it's his fault instead of her fault for not supporting the WNBA.

"there are wnba players getting pais the same as teachers" "That's Said" True, it's pretty Sad. Teachers are objectively more useful

Imagine being so entitled that you refuse to sit in level 300 at a finals game

BowtiepastaMasta · 2020-08-08T13:46:03+00:00

That chick is a retard. How much more can he break it down for you and hold your hand through his point?

corporate129 · 2020-08-08T14:24:03+00:00

There should just be sports that focus on things where, if a team of women were exceptional at it, it would be remarkable and interesting to watch.

For example, two teams of 10 women enter adjacent ice cream stores. The team that all picks an ice cream flavor fastest wins. If either team does it under 2 hours they are sent to the Olympics and studied by science. Incredible!!!

2020-08-08T14:52:37+00:00

If anything, WNBA players are overpaid.

MGTOWayoflife · 2020-08-08T15:20:45+00:00

The WNBA sucks. 15 year old boys would beat the brakes off them.

Some women don’t want to acknowledge how boring their gender is in certain sports.

Vall3y · 2020-08-08T14:41:55+00:00

I imagine NBA is also 30 times more competitive, how many people compete for a spot on an NBA team compared to how many women competing for a spot at a WNBA team? Basketball attracts men more so than women, on the contrary look at tennis which most women prefer over basketball, and the difference between men and women there is not as big as it is in basketball

-MrPornFlakes- · 2020-08-08T14:42:38+00:00

I don't get it why should women get paid equal to men (in the current state of things)? When men were starting they had less people watching thus they also made less. You can't compare the the revenue generated by an established company and an entrepreneur who has just started his buisness. They only want the fruits without the labour, which is very mind boggling to me

Dr_Frasier_Bane · 2020-08-08T23:59:27+00:00

Okay, now do the modeling industry and see what her stance is. Make your position that that modeling industry is sexist and unfair towards men because male models aren't making the same money as female models. Tom Brady's wife makes more than him but I don't see women representing the wage gap that underpays men in the fashion industry.

fuzzy_brb · 2020-08-08T14:12:06+00:00

Her: I'm upset WNBA women get paid way less than NBA men!

Me: women get paid way more on onlyfans than men.

Her: um, well, I mean, er, em, I mean..... Who hurt you. Why are you so abusive? Incel! You're not even 6'+. Ugh.

2020-08-08T14:33:56+00:00

Its the same thing with the US womens soccer team. Nobody watches or cares about them so they don’t make near as much money. Its not a hard concept

2020-08-08T16:09:20+00:00

He should have just stuck to the drawing in money argument because that's all that really needs to be said.

He fucked up giving her a choice of which ticket she would rather choose. Like come on, you should have seen it coming that she was going to choose the WNBA ticket no matter what conditions you said. He could have said "Courtside tickets to the NBA finals or a WNBA ticket to a regular game with an obstructed view" and she would have picked the WNBA ticket.

And then he went into this whole "there's no excitement, there's no players to draw people in." Again, stop. That is all entirely subjective and leaves her wide open to say "I'm excited for the WNBA!" Although surprisingly she didn't say that.

Just stick to the money argument because it's factual and the truth and there is no real counterargument other than an emotional response. I don't know the numbers nor do I care enough to look it up but I can guarantee the NBA brings in way more money than the WNBA, which is why the players get paid more. Full stop.

4bes705 · 2020-08-08T16:46:26+00:00

The same reason men doesnt get paid as good as the women in the porn industries

This argument pisses me off because it’s not even a hard concept to understand

You get paid based off the money you earn end of story you can’t just make money appear when it’s not there to begin with.

I’ve tried watching WNBA games, they’re so boring and dull. I used to go watch my sister play basketball in high school and those games were just as entertaining as WNBA games, which is sad in comparison.

The WNBA is not profitable.

KoleTrain_I · 2020-08-08T21:58:29+00:00

This may just confirm what he said more. I've never heard of the WNBA nor can I name a single player in it. Many of my friends have heard of it but can't name any players either.

Like who actually can name more than 3 WNBA players? I can’t even name one but I can name heaps of NBA players and I don’t even watch it.

LibertarianSoldier · 2020-08-08T23:06:14+00:00

In 2018 the WNBA generated 60 million as a league.

In 2018 the NBA generates 7.3 billion as a league

Thats why NBA players make more than WNBA players.

Long_DuckDonger · 2020-08-09T02:59:33+00:00

The WNBA loses something like 10 million a year, which means they shouldn't be getting paid anything.

Male models get paid one hell of a lot less than female models because all eyes are on female models. Same logic, but we’re not whining about it like 6-year olds smh.

VaeserysGoldcrown · 2020-08-09T05:09:35+00:00

Why do women athletes think they deserve more when nobody watches them lol

NewAccToCall1Stupid · 2020-08-10T12:49:34+00:00

Does she know that the WNBA is almost entirely funded by the NBA as a complete net loss?

jamocadyn · 2020-08-11T14:40:25+00:00

The idiots who came up with the WNBA bought into the idea that women are "just like men" when it comes to watching sports. Men actually like (and probably have played the sport in school or even just on the playground). Hence, the reason they like watching pro sports of men who play at the top of their game. Most women as girls don't play sports even for fun--it's rare to see a bunch of girls play pick-up basketball, soccer, baseball or football on the playground. Women like watching dating shows and all those melodramatic soap-opera like TV shows.

monkeywithaspoon · 2020-08-08T14:11:53+00:00

I'd have to see how big the tiddies are on the wnba teams that are playing before I make that decision.

FreshRavioliMerchant · 2020-08-08T14:17:19+00:00

Completely disagree with her points but I don't think she got overly emotional. She seemed friendly throughout just was a loud talker and a lil passionate.

2020-08-08T16:03:56+00:00

He was close but his argument was still off. Those players bring in money. They a shit ton of merchandise. They're generating income. No one's buying WNBA jerseys. Ronda Rousey said it best. She gets paid top-dollar because she brings in top dollar.

SirAbeFrohman · 2020-08-08T16:06:54+00:00

If you ever implied that a woman could not comprehend a similarly simple idea, you'd be called a mysoginist.

I honestly don't know if people really don't understand why WNBA athletes are paid less, or if they're faking outrage.

2020-08-08T16:13:16+00:00

I’ve literally never heard of Candice Parker lol

XXsnakelazer · 2020-08-08T16:15:07+00:00

What she fails to realize is that it’s not about the gender,if lebron was a female he would still get paid as much as he does because he’s a good player (not that the WNBA players are bad) and brings excitement to the audience with the WNBA it doesn’t have players that bring excitement to the audience they may be good but they are not getting recognition because there are more recognizable players on the NBA than the WNBA

andycev · 2020-08-08T16:23:41+00:00

He is not wrong, but it's not only that. There is a lot going on around male sports in terms of building expectations, marketing, and media attention, also the history goes further back. That's where the focus should go for improving women's income in sports based on performance. I mean, the soccer team in USA is probably the best in the world, and those women have earned the right to get better attention from the media and money from many institutions. Soccer, is just an example. He is not wrong, but I truly wish we all paid more attention to women sports, it can be very entertaining for many different people

AMS4020CL · 2020-08-08T16:37:18+00:00

Its textbook supply and demand. Its annoying in theory that they make so much more than teachers but they work ridiculously hard to get into, and stay in professional sports.

gabskickass · 2020-08-08T17:01:45+00:00

A better explanation would be that people want to go to the world cup not a second division or teen division. That's why man sports earn more. They are, objectively, physically more capable due to biological factors and we always want to see the crème of crème.

46dad · 2020-08-08T17:10:00+00:00

Texan2116 · 2020-08-08T17:20:55+00:00

I actually went to a WNBA game a while back. It was fun. Having said that my ticket was like 30 bucks, and I had a GREAT seat. The small arena was not half full. Parking was free. $30 dollar seats barely exist in the NBA, if at all, and they are nosebleeds if that. And NBA games frequently sell out.

Perseus_the_Bold · 2020-08-08T17:24:46+00:00

You can see her brain buffering when he is explaining in plain English that the reason one league is paid more than the other is because that league brings in more cash overall thus pays it's players a lot more to keep that cash flowing in. This is not difficult to understand! What is her struggle here? And notice the shifty and manipulative way she turns this perfectly logical conversation into a smear against the guy for pointing out the facts. The automatic accusation of implied misogyny comes out like a cowboy doing a quick draw. "Matt's just stomping all over women." Sneaky, very sneaky and very manipulative. Females always do this shit.

She was given tickets to a 300 level NBA finals and "didn't go" because she's too fucking cool to sit 300 level?

Jesus Christ, lady. You're the fucking worst or you're a liar.

Those tickets were over 1000 each and you just said, "I'm too good for this"?

"I've been given tickets in the 300s and I didn't go. I'm never sitting in the 300s" What an ungrateful fuck. How many NBA fans would give their right arm for that opportunity and she's all "I'm too good for the cheap seats"

Sixemperor · 2020-08-08T20:32:51+00:00

If women got “equality” in basketball in the US, they’d let the WNBA carry its own weight. They are “independent” after all, aren’t they? Then let them be independent & cut off the funding the NBA so generously gives them. Then players & fans can whine & cry to the WNBA itself about why pay is so low & the WNBA can explain basic business to them. Low interest, low revenue = low pay.

NBNC2 · 2020-08-08T20:47:30+00:00

Can we also acknowledge the fact that most sports (basketball, soccer, baseball, etc) have been played at the elite level for at least 80 years... there is a depth and cultural attachment, kids grew up watching games with there families and you can't just drop in women's sports and say "you watch this now"

truthseeeker · 2020-08-08T21:02:21+00:00

I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand for people, especially given the vast chasm in total revenue between the NBA and WNBA. Sports is entertainment, where people get paid by the money they bring in.

opDimitri · 2020-08-08T21:07:13+00:00

They don't want equal opportunity they have, they want equal outcome.

Iamlegend_future · 2020-08-08T21:50:34+00:00

wnba players are lucky they even get paid. The organization loses money every year. The only reason they even still exists is because the nba pays the bills. If it wasn't for the nba they would have gone bankrupt years ago.

NoTalker_ · 2020-08-08T22:13:54+00:00

I once watched them score in the wrong basket

Jarrah965 · 2020-08-08T22:16:51+00:00

Man she is annoying, I wouldn't want to deal with that.

ThickShayde · 2020-08-08T22:30:11+00:00

Level 300 seats pffft I thought you loved me.

HammyMacc · 2020-08-08T22:40:32+00:00

I wouldn’t even watch WNBA if they were in bikinis. Well prolly not...but maybe!!

7hunderpants · 2020-08-08T23:19:47+00:00

Just ask this dumb woman if she thinks male models should be paid the same as kate moss and Naomi campbell ?

pmallon · 2020-08-08T23:41:10+00:00

If this was soccer (football) I would understand her frustration but WNBA is nowhere near as popular as the women's soccer teams or the NBA

RoastedReviews · 2020-08-09T00:34:30+00:00

What's this guy doing? Women hate logic.

pmallon · 2020-08-09T01:28:09+00:00

Supply and demand. What she wants is socialism for sports.

Gandeloft · 2020-08-09T02:04:35+00:00

It's not sad, it's the reality of things.

Classicpass · 2020-08-09T02:31:41+00:00

She can't get any dumber

Dynged · 2020-08-09T02:37:45+00:00

A woman substituting emotion for logical arguements? NEVER!

ScrotalScraper · 2020-08-09T03:41:25+00:00

You can tell she was on the verge of twitching, furiously.

dsiurek2019 · 2020-08-09T03:49:54+00:00

The passive aggressive soft claps at the end got me

rockSWx · 2020-08-09T05:08:51+00:00

This bitch still probably thinks the women’s World Cup team is underpaid XD

BillyMcTwist · 2020-08-09T05:17:20+00:00

When little girls complain about little girl things and life being unfair for trivial reasons, women seem to have never grown out of it. The only difference is they’re masking it under the guise of being an adult.

A clearer example is when they cry during an argument. It’s the same technique they used when they were four and society rewards them for it. No one calls them out on it. At least not enough.

And when they can’t handle certain things not being equal with men and they talk about “girl power” and constantly pat themselves on the back , it’s the same as the scenario in those cowboy-type movies where the warrior father is loading up his horse to face the bad guys and the little kid packs his own little donkey with a saddle and says “I’m coming too! I can fight!” and the father kneels down and looks him in the eye and lets him down gently by saying “You sure can, buddy! But I need you to stay home and look after your mum and your sisters. They need you to be strong for them. Can you do that for me?”

2020-08-09T11:03:01+00:00

“I won’t sit in the 300 levels”

How fucking snobby and what a gross attitude. Fuck this dumb bitch

da_shread · 2020-08-09T13:22:16+00:00

Imagine complaining about only getting $100,000 for playing a game that children do.

gadabout13 · 2020-08-09T14:09:47+00:00

Dont be using your darn....logic on me!

TLEToyu · 2020-08-09T15:17:27+00:00

I looked up that YouTube channel and holy fuck it looks like garbage all around. It looks like garbage incarnate with titles like "Stripper says this about NBA player" or "You won't believe what the ex-wife of this player told us!".

It's literally a tabloid channel no wonder the chick won't listen to real answers.

Rogueone65 · 2020-08-11T09:21:42+00:00

In English football, hardly anybody disputes the pay gap as The FA Women's Super League, the highest division of women's football (soccer) gets around 200,000 people in viewership at most while the English Premier League, the highest division of men's football gets around 7.3 billion viewers. Stadium attendances are usually max 1000 people while the team I support, Manchester United, has a stadium that can seat roughly 75,000 people and is usually full for a league match. Even the smallest stadium has around 11 times the attendance as a FAWSL match.

2020-08-11T15:34:08+00:00

WNBA has literally never made any money. Its a wonder they get paid at all.

2020-08-11T18:53:14+00:00

Shrill harpies gon b shrill harpies. This cunt...

Zuessharpe · 2020-08-12T15:50:58+00:00

Who the fuck watches the WNBA??? Next on wage inequality men of porn demand a 500% to close the gap because they claim to work harder.

giant_flaming_dildo · 2020-08-13T10:42:41+00:00

Name 5 WNBA players that are as socially known as 5 NBA players lmao

Stefanius123 · 2020-08-13T23:40:28+00:00

Holy fuck does she know how this whole concept of getting paid more if you are more effective(for example drawing more Fans to that sport)works?

gr33nbananas · 2020-08-14T09:30:36+00:00

What do you expect? A lot of women are used to get what they want just by saying it or throwing a hissy fit, and can't understand that's not how the real world works.

NeonSignsRain · 2020-08-15T09:02:28+00:00

Nah he's wrong. The NBA pays LeBron so much because they just love propping up the patriarchy so much 🙄

Leoinu · 2020-08-22T07:08:05+00:00

NBA games during playoffs are near sold out. Completely if its a powerhouse team.

The WNBA flat out gives tickets away to fill seats during their playoffs. Spot the profit difference.

170poundgorilla · 2020-08-25T08:45:33+00:00

Her argument is pure garbage.

I love how the poor guy puts basically facepalms because he realizing he is trying to explain simple economics to a dimwit.

DeusGladius · 2020-08-28T16:57:41+00:00

Where does she suppose they are going to get the money to pay them?

hueydeweyandlouis · 2020-08-29T17:47:30+00:00

She's desperately trying to make up for a lack of content with gestures, outrage and aloud mouth.

TheMeatEmperor · 2020-08-29T18:23:11+00:00

Never heard of anyone being a fan of the WNBA. The reason they get paid so little is because no one really cares

ironmanqaray · 2020-12-15T13:37:55+00:00

I didn’t even know there was a WNBA

heytterebea · 2020-08-08T14:49:32+00:00

don't use logic on me!

every women, ever.

malemedicine · 2020-08-08T09:46:38+00:00

I always make this argument about women's sports and get shot down. 🤷🏽‍♂️

iWillNotLetYouGo · 2020-08-08T13:49:29+00:00

Teachers should be paid more than people playing a child's game

They are a charity case that operates at a net negative, now the charity they get isnt enough money

Ha ha ha ha

ThrandoltheBlue · 2020-08-08T14:03:31+00:00

Athletes are all paid way too much anyway.

Jordanc369 · 2020-08-08T14:03:57+00:00

I agree with the guy but he has an awful way of explaining it

msamiei · 2020-08-08T14:09:22+00:00

Last women soccer World Cup I was truly impressed with the quality of the games. It’s just matter of seeing more women’s game.

2020-08-08T14:16:41+00:00

She was too "good" for the 300 section. tells you enough already.

a-Sociopath · 2020-08-08T14:18:01+00:00

But on the flip side, unless more money goes into the game it'll never improve. Now I don't follow either NBA or WNBA, but unless there's a physiological reason that prohibits the women's game from being as good as men the fact that there's so little money or fame will act as a deterrent and keep their quality low. I'm obviously not advocating equal pay but there needs to be investment at the grassroots level if there's any such infrastructure in place.

member_of_reddit · 2020-08-08T14:21:11+00:00

those are the facts, what does she want him to say?

MKUltra198623 · 2020-08-08T14:30:53+00:00

A woman getting emotional when confronted with facts?! C'mon dude, you are kidding us!

Furmpov · 2020-08-08T14:31:30+00:00

There is a beautiful video called “Why the WNBA has a wage gap” and its just a “meme” compilation of them playing like every 10 year old boy.

LeDarkElbow · 2020-08-08T14:34:37+00:00

I watch wnba but thats the thing. These hoes are relying on men to watch it cause women dont care. Its the same with all the geek shit (that no one should watch btw)

2020-08-08T14:41:44+00:00

People seem to assume that emotions have some level of value next to cold hard logic in any large scale argument (like income disparity).

Mens_rights_matter2 · 2020-08-08T14:50:04+00:00

The WNBA is a joke.

WildWook · 2020-08-08T14:50:43+00:00

Truth hurts.

mydikurmouth1 · 2020-08-08T14:59:38+00:00

Maybe this just puts in perspective how absolutely worthless ANY professional athlete is outside of this propped up plastic society that so many subscribe to. They are professional distractions, nothing more. They don’t personally generate anything of value, just out there bouncing a ball.

ItsYaBoiFlaminCheeto · 2020-08-08T14:59:38+00:00

WNBA doesn't bring in profit since the NBA has better quality than the WNBA. The players gotta play harder and actually try better and it's true that there are some good WNBA players matter of fact. It's just not as good as the NBA and we can all agree on that.

somethingabouttea · 2020-08-08T15:02:05+00:00

I’m European so the comparison I use is football/SoCcEr. Tell me what you’d rather see, a champions league with names like Ronaldo and Messi in it, or a champions league with Megan rapinoe in it.

AndrewWonjo · 2020-08-08T15:02:29+00:00

This old argument again, understanding basic economics is difficult for them I see

mike4204201 · 2020-08-08T15:05:53+00:00

the question to ask is:

How many WNBA games have you been to?

or

Name 10 WNBA players.

PM-ME-YOUR-TECH-TIPS · 2020-08-08T15:08:39+00:00

You get paid as much as your worth.

Americandy123 · 2020-08-08T15:11:11+00:00

Look at the supermodels. No man will ever get so much paid as for example Gisele Bündchen got. This is not a gender thing. More interested people in a certain branch means better payment for the leaders in this branch. Simple.

Raglesnarf · 2020-08-08T15:11:20+00:00

jokes on them, I don't watch baseball

ThorbjornKonunger · 2020-08-08T15:12:54+00:00

Ronda Rousey said it best.

billsmashole · 2020-08-08T15:17:15+00:00

I dont think she got overly emotional, she just didnt make a good counter argument. Because there is no good counter argument. If women want the WNBA players to make more money, then fill the stands and watch the games. Women could easily make this a popular sport just by their numbers.

Abd781 · 2020-08-08T15:20:00+00:00

"just stomping all over women"

no matter what you say to them they will never understand dude.

willy_boi125 · 2020-08-08T15:22:55+00:00

Its simply just filling stadiuns that pays them not gender. You want them to make more then BUY THOSE COURTSIDE SEATS TO THE WNBA. People who are all about preaching for this stuff but have absolutely no drive to even think about actually supporting the notion really fucking piss me off

IntellectualKittens · 2020-08-08T15:24:34+00:00

What a stupid female. It's like, he explained it to her but she still didn't get it.

Maybe if WNBA players had more balls, things would change.

ThePointMan117 · 2020-08-08T15:25:49+00:00

People don't buy wnba bullshit. It's simple, and yet these women are so fucking outraged because the beat wnba player couldn't get a bench spot in a d3 college team

2020-08-08T15:41:21+00:00

This is like saying the extras on a movie set should be paid the same as Tom Cruise.

billfitz24 · 2020-08-08T15:42:58+00:00

They’re lucky they’re getting paid at all. The WNBA loses millions of dollars every year.

Thing about wemonzis, they dumb and weak, can't get mad when they want to talk and rant about nothing.

Oman2324 · 2020-08-08T15:44:29+00:00

You get paid what you are worth, true, but the problem lies deeper than that. People are just inherently more interested in men playing sports than women playing sports unless it's like volleyball where it's a boring ass sport to begin with but you get to see women in tight shorts.

Not telling you that you should watch womens basketball to even it out, but in this society I don't see it being possible for a women playing basketball to EVER make the same amount of money as a man or even anywhere close to that. It's a bit ignorant to think women and men have equal opportunity in the sports scene lmao

IGutlessIWonder · 2020-08-08T15:46:22+00:00

"I will not sit in the 300s" sounds a lot like "I don't like u if u don't pony up enough money"

2020-08-08T15:48:08+00:00

Would you rather watch a horse race or a snail race? The problem is that everyone is so fucking entitled. Everyone wants what they don’t want to work for. We used to go months without eating and have to spear moose to eat and now we are at the level where mf flipping burgers wanna make the same as people who actually put in sweat equity.

Lorenz99 · 2020-08-08T15:48:36+00:00

If the women were paid as much as the men were one woman making $30mil would wipe out the entire league. The fan base just isn't there for them to support that kind of pay.

Also how many people can name 2 WNBA players?

Side note: My phone wanted to auto correct WNBA TO WANNA. So my phone even thinks they are a joke.

feelin-supersonic · 2020-08-08T15:49:28+00:00

The easiest thing to say to them is why are female pornstars paid waayy more than males?

notajoey · 2020-08-08T15:51:54+00:00

In the ~20 years of the WNBA, the league has never made a profit, they have millions invested into it by the NBA, and their TV ratings are low but getting better. Darren Rovell tweeted something like The WNBA players (as negotiated by the league) get paid a higher percentage compared to the men, but for obvious economic reasons, that pay doesn't amount to shit, in comparison. But it's totally the parriarchy

Somebodysuckmeplz · 2020-08-08T15:55:29+00:00

There is no argument here. He is 100% correct. And she is way too entitled acting like she is too good for certain seats
