I was going to ask this, but here is some info instead: https://www.wsn.com/nba/nba-vs-wnba/#:~:text=It%20is%20currently%20estimated%20that,was%20up%2025%25%20from%202017. Basically, the NBA makes $7.4 billion while the WNBA makes $60 million. The ratio of pay for NBA is 50%, while the WNBA is 20% - which sounds unfair, but remember, if the NBA made less money, the costs would come out of the talent first - talent is an elastic expense. Based on that, it seems fairly fair. If the NBA makes over 100 times the money of the WNBA, you'd expect the players to make like 100x more. --- I want a pet Lavos Spawn.

Lebron is currently the most famous, most popular, highest marketable and currently the best player in the NBA. He is our era's Michael Jordan. Lebron could go to any team and the state hosting that team would prolly make billions in revenue just from Lebron. If you ask me he's worth more than 37 million. --- Don't like it? Don't watch it.

That is true, but I imagine its also an uncomfortable solution for most people. A lot of people have shifted away from calling for actual equality lately. --- ... <cite>Lorenzo_2003 posted [p:945947529] in WNBA Playe...
