Wnba salaries are terrible. Mya Moore only makes $59k?

How many nikkas here have been to a WNBA game?



In my opinion, she is making too much, isn't the season like 6 months or some shyt. She should be 40-45,000.

I would just ball out in Europe make that cash and then come back to the states, and do something else.
Being in the WNBA really has no benefits.

Not really its just Serena

Nah mayne, he's right...it can be argued that Billie Jean King, Martina Navatriola, Chris Evert were more
popular than their male counterparts. And that's why there was the Battle of The Sexes - Tennis is probably
the only sport where that would be compelling.

You mean when ol girl beat a 70 year old? That's not compelling. The guy has to a senior citizen just to give a woman a challenge, thats not entertaining

I disagree - that's very entertaining. Put Kimbo Slice in the ring with Ron DaRousey...you wouldn't watch that??

My bad, that would be entertaining. I meant to say it wouldn't be competitive. The entertainment would just be from laughs

I see where you're coming from but we're literally seeing the GOAT tennis player AND she just so happens to be black. When she slows down they won't be showing much women's tennis unless there's some young phenom coming up

But i'm sayin', there were other GOATs before Serena and they got plenty of run.
I'm not even into tennis like that but I know of the ones I mentioned previously and Monica Seles,
Aranxa Sanchez-Vicario, Althea Gibson, Jennifer Capriati and all of them because womens'
tennis gets alot of coverage. Like dude said, womens' tennis does get as much coverage
as mens' tennis does and it's the only womens' sport that can say that...

I bet Candace Parker is the bread winner in her house

Women's basketball fukked up by not lowering the rim. In women's volleyball the net is lower, in women's gold the teeing green is closer, etc.

I been saying this for years...

 

[daboywonder2002]

It's all about preference. I like the wnba. a lot of people don't. I would much rather watch Wnba over d-league basketball or the arena football league

 

[Dev2103]

You'd think feminists would be going to the game in droves too busy botherIng the NFL pain in the neck

 

[GetInTheTruck]

They shouldn't even be getting that. Give that money to college athletes.

 

[Amphibious]

Making 60k for 8 weeks is a bad job now? GTFO.

 

[emoney]

Basketball is the one sport where the womens game just doesnt work well because of the physical limitations...and truthfully thats why US womens basketball doesnt get the publicity of the soccer team....womens basketball is a different game,where as the skills and physical limitations in the other womens sports doesnt detract from mens game as much...

us womens soccer players look way better than their basketball counterparts

I was with you until the last line.

Really, there's a handful of them that can play...but it's not exciting!

My favorite WNBA player of all-time was Nikki Teasley.
She only averaged like 6 ppg for her "career"...but she used the cross the chit
out them other broads, yo. I'm talkin' Iverson status, bruh. All of them broads
with the good fundemental defense was gettin' shook out of their gottdamn Sauconys
tryin' to check her. They need some more players like that - and then, THEY NEED
TO MARKET THEM.

Was my last line cold or something... I don get it...but they desperately need to discover an identity...maybe they should feature guards like the girl u liked(teasley), have a bunch of female a.i.'s, kyrie's and curries out there, but they better identify quick...cuz just a plain ol' women's basketball league won't cut it. It's sorry.

The men's league wasn't always poppin like that....different people raised the game over the years beginning with Wilt and Oscar then Dr. j then magic bird then Jordan then shaq Kobe a.i. then bron Carmelo....now steph Blake kyrie Anthony...the women's league doesn't identify its stars and market them or force game plans to exploit its possible heros (like Jordan benefitted from)...they have lame coaches and staffs and they just send the girls out there and say "play"


It sucks because most everyone is subpar from the commissioner on down. They suck at business/marketing...EVERTHING gets attention from the U.S. consumer, but they can't manage
