Entitled WNBA Players GO NUTS After Matt Walsh PROVED They're GROSSLY OVERPAID!

[@SlantedRoofN1N3]

As a lemonade stand owner, I take great offense to comparing my business to the WNBA.... I made 40 dollars last Sunday, and only spent 9 dollars to make that 40. I didn't lose any money

Shut down the league entirely

[@rrussi6118]

Cut off the cash flow from the NBA to the wnba. Stop subsidizing them & setting your money on fire. Tell the ladies it's sink or swim time.

[@GetsumJ]

If they pay them a percentage of revenue, they players will owe money.

[@bwill887]

That is why they are not demanding a percentage of profit. Revenue is just the money coming in, not factoring in expenses. While I am not overly fond of ownership typically, this would massively degrade their profit for a league that is already losing money. I think this would be a short term gain that will ultimately doom the league, as no owner will want a business that drains their cash. Worse, a possible strike would kill any momentum the league has been gathering and would probably permanently doom the league.

Listening to them whining for 28 years and never turning a profit as they talk about the business they built.. you built welfare basketball.. playing on NBA handouts .. never made to earn your keep .. that little bit of sympathy support you had flew out the window this year.. you'll be lucky to get a CBA that doesn't hold your feet to the fire in every direction.. you want to be treated as adults and professionals.. the kid gloves come off and the responsibility will come crashing in .. crybaby play time is over ..

[@jimpowell2296]

I hope that happens. That the owners tell them that they have never held up their end of the bargain, never. If the NBA would say no more, you are on your own, then failure is a certainty. Reality sets in and they understand that they are out of a job. The WNBA will be no more.

[@salas0727]

Shaq just said that the wnba is like watching a high school game and he’s spot on. WNBA players can’t handle the attention they’ve been begging for for years because when we finally watch them we see how big of a skill gap there is between nba and the wnba. Clark is the only female player I’ve seen that looked impressive consistently

[@JudieKowalski]

That's not true. Arike and napheesa are better at the moment and both can carry a franchise.

[@terrymcilvain1569]

Just a few players cannot make the league succeed. You have to have many talented players on all teams. They don't all have to be superstars but need to be at a certain level to get viewership. Michael, Larry and Magic drew people to the NBA because they were beating other talented players not stiffs.

[@pakialaalamera4753]

Playing mediocre basketball, they awarded themselves ROTY, MVP, Double-Doubles and other awards that crossed their minds. Then, using that undervalued award, they proclaim themselves of high value. Then they shamelessly give each other the titles, The Legendary... The Great. In the WNBA, the medals and certificates awarded to these mediocre basketball players are as good as counterfeit dollar bill. That's the reason they do not attract viewers. The basketball fans know the fraud being pulled over their eyes. No amount of continuous attaching the title of "The Legendary" nor "The Great" will fool the basketball fans for they what they truly see as mediocre basketball players. Caitlin Clark verified and confirmed what the basketball fans already know about these mediocre players.

[@08harleyfb]

Go ahead and opt out you will not be missed.

[@WillyEarl098]

How is there any net profit $$ to split? They lost $$ for 25 years and counting, this year was the best opportunity to get out of the red...but 99% in this league showed the world who they are...and why theyre not very marketable as a league or as induviduals... Edit: the $40 M loss can be attributed to primarily the shift to private charter travel, instead of commercial...cause suddenly it's unsafe😵‍💫

The government

[@CAD2039]

Plum ALSO misunderstands that the WNBA was offered the SAME revenue share as the NBA... they would get the same percentage of the gate once a set threshold is met...with such low ticket sales that minimum has never been met, so there was no revenue to share.

[@JohnnyRotten75]

Carlin Clark was the only player worth a Milli contract and the NBA is cash flowing, not haemorrhaging cash

[@jasonwong7867]

Let them go on strike, let the WNBA go obsolete. Once they lose there career and no other organization will give them a decent contract, they will learn the hard way! All other organizations around the world see how you act and how entitled you are, you won't get anything decent! You would be lucky if they would even match the salary that the WNBA gave you

I havent watched the NBA for more than 20 years as I simply lost all respect for a league that basically began allowing the players to act like spoiled, entitled brats. Let this agreement go, let these 'ladies' walk, and you've got a huge financiwl win. I'd consider watching the NBA again if they stood up and told their players to play or get out.

[@dc1397]

The thing that shocked me was hee teammates not lowering the boom on opponents taking liberties with Clark. No men's team would allow that to happen to a teammate.

[@jrod4344]

@@tragene2250 I have wondered why Angel Reese can't make layups. I was thinking it was because she couldn't see through those lashes. But fake lashes seem way to common in the league, for it to be that. Same with fake nails. Not sure if she has fake nails, since I don't care enough to look. If so, she could be getting a bad roll off them. Why would you add stuff to your body, that could effect your play. I mean usually people try to get all the advantages they can. Male swimmers shaving their heads and legs, comes to mind.

[@prembasky]

Many players and WNBA Officialdom need to be put into enforced retirement. They helped run this league to the ground.

[@tragene2250]

No business would give raises to employees that have been losing money for 30 years. No business would stay open with loses like that. If they want a raise, they need to go to the NBA and ask for permission. That is who pays them anyway.

[@34stzoo]

As much as these comments sicken me, I understand why they want more money and why that will not happen. Women are wired differently and as a fan of the W for the past 20 years, this season proved how pitty, kitty, and delusional some of them are. Instead of building their band on the rise of viewership, the majority focus on keeping one player down. At this point SCREW what you're making in the league at the moment and focus on capitalizing on it. Very few plays understand that and take full advantage of it. As Sophie Cunningham said in an interview. Stop the hate and celebrate the positive turn the W has made. At this point, the players are their worst enemies.

[@Roadghost1969]

Do these ladies not understand Bills have to be paid? Money to pilots, bus companies, stadiums, employees of stadiums, Laundry service scouts, advertising, hotels, team meals, practice facility rent, team physicians etc. My guess is that they (WBNA) were behind on certain bills over the years.

[@dennishendrikx3228]

You get paid for the quality you bring, not your gender or race. Basketball and Football women just don't have the quality to earn salaries and live views. Except a few of them. Don't forget men face millions of competition before even reach a paid level. Women just have to be able to dribble a bit, and they get a contract plus sponsorships. Let the one who plays good, play.

[@davidtrickey9863]

I would laugh if they walk. At least the NBA would save money by not funding this crap league.

[@arthurdirindinjr1792]

Over paid is meant to describe when an employee is earning more than your contributions financially matter or are worth in your ability to help your employer make a profit Example is a employee who is general labor that does jobs like cleaning the facility and cutting grass making the same wage as a machinist making the actual products the company sells Point being that company actually makes enough money to be profitable The WNBA has not only NEVER had a single profitable season in 28 years it actually has lost 10s of millions every year of its existence WNBA players ARE NOT overpaid they are literally the equivalent of welfare recipients 100% financially supported by the NBA If not for the NBA willingness to literally GIVE the WNBA dozens of millions of dollars in charity every single year of its entire existence the WNBA would've NEVER lasted more than 2 POSSIBLY 3 seasons before going bankrupt and out of business This is a superlative example of socialism at its absolute maximum in that a group of people who can not earn a living for what they do DEMANDING to be not only supported by those that CAN earn a living for free, but be supported at a lifestyle nearly as lavish as those that are supporting them with 100% free money Basically the WNBA is the equivalent of a company that is still making 100k horse drawn carts a year forcing Ford (NBA) to buy them all

I have to ask, if the players want a payroll that is commensurate with their talent, shouldn't they also be willing to take a portion of the 40 million dollar deficit?

When the women can play the game for each other and accept each other's talents regardless of the colour of their skin, their sleeping arrangements, religion, and political views. It will be then when the WNBA will rise. The WNBA players also need to accept that some of the cosmetics of the game they play every night need change. Such as rule changes and court layout to support a more exciting game that is suited to the female body.

Is Matt Walsh right? That can't be a serious question hahaha. The WNBA loses money every single year. The only reason they are able to keep the league going is because the NBA gives them a bunch of money. This means the WNBA is a failing business that is bailed out year after year. There is not a single successful business anywhere in the world that loses money every year, then gives their employees a raise. That is what the WNBA players are asking for. Which means that these "strong independent women" are asking for men/ NBA to give their failing business even more money so the players can get raises hahaha. It's a saf joke
