DepreceV2 10/17/20 10:02:34 AM #102:	People are really acting like Sports are the same as a common job? How much you get paid in sports is based on how popular the sport is and how good you are. Not to mention, the WNBA loses money every year. They arent even profitable. They leach off of the NBA. If the WNBA wasnt connected to the NBA then they wouldnt exist. They would have been bankrupt a long time ago. So the pay difference makes sense even though its that large. You cant even successfully market the best player in the WNBA. I never even heard of her. --- Nothing until I think of a new Sig 6/3/20 <cite>DepreceV2 posted [p:945958084] in WNBA Playe...

Regarding the $370,000 bonus for winning the finals, the team typically gets a lump sum bonus, and they agree to split it evenly, rather than proportionately by existing contracts. So while it represents a 1% bonus to LeBron, its a 10%+ bonus to most guys on the roster (and in the case of JR Smith, its more than his salary). --- Live action Hungry Hungry Hippos though, now that was a sport. ~Aeon Azuran <cite>The Popo posted [p:945958194] in WNBA Playe...
