If the players were to get 50% revenue All the players would owe 83,000

[@itshiho]

The reason why they're not getting 50% of revenue like the men is because the WNBA loses money every year when you factor operating costs vs profit. Getting paid up to $230K/yr and the average salary is $103,000 for not making any profit and they only play 40 games compare to the men sounds like a fair deal to me 🤷🏾‍♂.

I went to a small high school, our girls basketball team was often state champions because they recruited well and had an excellent coach, our boys team was horrible, we had a total of 7 players and our tallest was 6'1. We got destroyed my freshman, sophomore, and junior years. We were just ...horrible. And we would scrimmage the girls team once or twice a week, and we beat the shit out of them by 40-50 points every time..and they were STATE CHAMPIONS...and we went 2-90 over three years in the boys league. In my senior year, it all changed, we had put together a crew of bad asses and we had learned how to play the game, we were tired of losing and we punched back at the boys league hard. We didn't win the championship but we beat teams that were considered some of the best in state and won tournaments no one would have given us a prayer to win. We ended the season 22-7 and got an invite to play in the boys Class C state tourney. We went out first round but still, we had stopped the losing streak and went out with respect. You know what else stopped that year? Scrimmaging the girls team...too many girls with broken jaws, broken arms, and concussions, and they went from losing by 50 to losing by 100. This is why the WNBA will never be a speck on the ass of the NBA in terms of entertainment and intensity. The best a women's team could ever field, could never beat the worst a men's team can field, and God help the girls if they ever played the men's best.....it would send them to the hospital every time.

The first thing I would ask Kelsey is has she read the women's player association agreement with the WNBA, if she had or at least got a summary of it she would know that percentage increase is tied to a specific increase in revenue. Also, alot of the agreements that the WNBA has is tied to the NBA and not by their own market worth along with the NBA giving the WNBA 10 million every year directly. People need to remember that the life time channel drop the WNBA for poor rating. If I was in charge the first thing I would do is make all the teams play in College gyms because playing in NBA arenas is not a good look because of the lack of fans (even with them giving away tickets sell out are few and far between - a packed 1000 seat arena is better than having only 1000 fans in 15000 seat arena). The second thing I would do is look at all the cities that the teams are in and would consider moving teams to more women's basketball friendlier markets where there is a built in audience for woman's basketball. I would even consider folding the city team based concept and basing all the games out of one or two hubs cities (one on the east coast and the other on the west coast - I would actual pick Vegas and Florida). Lastly the fact that they are asking for more pay when WNBA has never made a profit is crazy.

Why do you never hear a WNBA player talk about how they can improve their leagues profit so they can get a pay raise? A lot of them think they are on par with the NBA so they deserve more pay when they don’t do anything to help promote their sport. Also I don’t think she was joking about Sir Charles not winning a championship, she was taking a shot at him and it just shows hot highly they think of themselves when they cannot make their league profitable after 20 plus years. Charles was a beast when he played and is more of a player than any of the WNBA.

That is such a chicken shit move for her to insult Chuck for not winning a championship. All he did was ask her if they could repeat. Frankly, it was probably just a courtesy questions, because I'm quite sure he doesn't really care. It'd be different if Shaq, Jordan, Magic, Isiah, or Bird said that to Chuck. They carried their NBA teams to championships. Few if anyone actually knows who she is. The rest of it is just obvious. You can't share profits that don't exist. They could share debts. Let's see if she'd care to cover some of the WNBA's annual losses. She comes across as pathetic in this interview. Chuck has the class to hold back on her, not because he respects her, but because he knows she couldn't take it if he disrespected her in the same way.

[@jamesbingham1007]

[@cvn6555]

I watched a lot of high school and college hoops in person this last season. A little bit of that was the women. Watching the college men play was exciting. Watching the HS boys play was good, but not nearly the same level of athleticism. Watching the girls play was mind-numbingly bad. Both teams might go 5-7 minutes without a single basket. Routinely missing open shots and uncontested layups. The smallest, least-athletic member from the boys' team would have scored 50 points in the girls' game. Nobody wants to pay money to watch lesser athletes play; they want to spend their time and money to see the best. Nobody is buying WNBA tickets on the aftermarket for over face value. Every men's pro league sees aftermarket sales for tickets many times higher than face value. Even men's college tickets can be resold for far more money than they cost. Women are living in a fantasy when they complain about how much less they make but that seems to be what they do best when they can't compete- complain and try to shame the men into giving them sht they don't deserve.

[@JohnSmith-kj8om]

It’s disingenuous when they say we just want the same revenue share. They’re asking for a raise. Pure and simple. A raise that any other business around wouldn’t do and can’t afford. The players focus should be on how to create more revenue for their clubs so that the percent they presently have goes up. That’s how they win. Take ownership of how you’re perceived and find a way to get more ticket sales, merch sales and tv ad sales. Stop putting your hand out and go to work making it a growing audience league. My two cents
