WNBA Commissioner Claps Back at Players Complaining

[ISO]

I always laugh when people bring up their pay, how much do you want these bytches to be paid when no one is watching them and the league is losing millions every year?

It’s a business that makes no money

They get paid more than the average American, some solid middle upper class and beyond pay, to play a kids game a few months out the year

This some sort of lesbian cat fight?

honest question - how many nba teams do you think played more than 19 games in a month in 2024-25

I know they have worked on getting less back to backs in the NBA but the WNBA is essentially played on a summer schedule. Its a much shorter season.

A game every other day for like 3 months.


Shut the fukk up and play

Gotta be the dumbest saying

Because kids play it’s a kids game? Do we need to hold this same thought with other things in life. That silly saying is only used when it’s time to criticize someone

Yes its a kids game. And so is competitve video game playing. Just cuz something makes lots of money doesn't mean its crucial to society. And I say this as someone who loves and follows basketball

It is a kids game when the local boys freshman basketball team can wash most WNBA teams

This is a good case to just say shut up and dribble . Some of these players just can't read the room.

You say that until injuries piling up and everyone starting to question what's going on.

This take is ridiculous. This "kids game" played by adults generates billions of dollars and is the reason thousands of jobs exist. Seems pretty crucial to society.

So if something isn’t crucial to society it’s meant for “kids”?

You sound silly. Sports are something both kids & adults play. There are levels similar to boxing & weight classes.
