Clearly one of the hypocrisies by the Left here is that “W” in the WNBA is an utterly meaningless term! Yet it doesn’t stop Joe Biden from making this comment:
President Biden, who posted on Twitter/X: “Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all. But right now we’re seeing that even if you’re the best, women are not paid their fair share. It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve.”
Attendance, endorsements, advertising and network broadcasts all are part of pro sports revenue generation.
But what would Joe Potato Head know about that?
He’s a lying grifting dumbass.
Women should really get to supporting women’s sports if they want this to change. Have you ever looked into the stands at one of their games? Ghost town.
And it’s not that women’s sports can’t be entertaining. I love female combat sports; I always tune into MMA to watch the big women’s fights. Because they’re entertaining. And the best Muay Thai match I ever watched was between two girls.
But women’s basketball? That’s like watching paint dry. The whole excitement of basketball is the athleticism. I’m not saying that women aren’t athletic because they are. But it’s not on the same level. There’s a severe lack of layups and a severe lack of dunking because most of the girls can’t do it reliably.
If Democrats don’t like being called “Marxists,” maybe they should stop campaigning for equal outcomes. Besides, since when do they even care about women’s athletics, given that they fully endorse biological men replacing biological women in sports?
“Back in 2018, current NBA commissioner Adam Silver spoke on the league’s financial outlook. He cited that the WNBA has never once turned a profit. The league loses roughly 10 million dollars a year and lost close to $12 million in 2017.While things might look bleak, the league is slowly making strides. Viewership is trending in the right direction, and they recently landed $75 million in investment money. The league as a whole is now valued at around one billion dollars.”
Caitlyn Clark is making 76,000+ in her upcoming rookie year (wnba players play a 40 game regular season, from May to Sept, the nba is 82 from October to June when the finals are over)…she’s also getting an endorse deal from Nike for like 20 million. “ It was reported earlier this week by Shams Charania of The Athletic that WNBA star Caitlin Clark is nearing a deal with Nike worth over $20M, and will also be receiving a signature shoe.” Former NBA Player Reacts to Caitlin Clark's Massive Nike Deal
The WNBA has never been profitable…the draft they just held drew a big tv audience…the women’s final four rivaled or even beat the men’s for audience.
If they can continue to build an audience they’ll get paid more.
