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

[The War Report]

Just play tennis, brehettes.

 

[L. Deezy]

No one here is willing to salary below the rim lay ups, breh.

This sounds like something Jim Rome would say..lol

If you were making 60k and your female counterparts were making 6 million for the exact same job I bet you'd be pretty pissed.

You think playing in the WNBA is the "exact same" as playing in the NBA?

Jesus Christ. They aren't counterparts by virtue of being basketball players.

Are you nikkaz numbskulls? They are the exact counterparts, the only difference is that they have to play with and against members of their own sex and the public is much more willing to watch one of the sexes.

No...they are not.

Counterparts create the same demand.

WNBA players do NOT create the same demand as NBA players. And demand determines how much one is paid.

Are you going to say WNBA players create the same demand as NBA players?

Please say yes to further disqualify yourself from having a worthwhile conversation.

You're not too sharp.

Shelden needs to retire

I think he been retired for a minute, involuntarily

.

Nope, that's just an arbitrary definition by yourself. Counterparts hold the same position or perform the same function. The NBA is the premier American basketball league for MEN. The WNBA is the premier American basketball league for WOMEN. They are COUNTERPARTS, the demand for the product is a different discussion.

Nobody pretends it is

Every so often someone asks about the pay disparity between the two sports.

yes.

That is not an arbitrary definition. NBA players are supplying a demand they've garnered for themselves and are paid accordingly.

You want to disqualify my point because you know that WNBA players do not carry as much as a demand as their male "counterparts" so you opt to strip context from the discussion.


Stop it.

 

[Spectre]

Sports are now an entertainment industry. How many people are entertained by WNBA?

it's like people complaining about US women's soccer salaries? um how many people watch women's soccer on avg in US compared to Men's soccer....like yo stop

 

[MAKAVELI25]

yes.

Stop it.

Look up the definition of "counterpart" and find me the demand requirement you keep claiming exists. You're really out here making up definitions and you don't think anyone will speak on it?

 

[The Bookie]

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...

 

[BrothaZay]

shytttttt, ill take it. 60 Gs a year to play basketball? Still better than 99% of the jobs out there
