[@cobra7282]

I love how people act like lowering the rim so they can dunk will really add all that much excitement to the games. All everyone will say is "of she can do that it's a 9 foot rim..". Lowering the rim to 9 feet will allow more dunks, but the dunks won't be seen as impressive because they are doing it with the same athleticism that they currently have.

[@aceofdimndz0419]

@@cobra7282 it's about excitement and getting the crowd involved in the game so they can feel entertained. Lowering the rim would work and here's why. The AVERAGE height in the wnba is 6ft. So watching women who aren't as athletic as the men, and can't jump as high, dunk on a reasonable rim level would be both entertaining and bring more money and viewers to the league. And the people who love the game wouldn't talk trash because we understand that the women are very skilled but they just aren't as athletic as the guys. But we would still watch the wnba for our favorite player and for the love of the game. In my opinion.

[@cobra7282]

@@aceofdimndz0419 I understand all of this. I simply don't agree that people will find the dunking all that entertaining. What makes a dunk so impressive in the men's game is the athleticism that is allowing them to do it. The women will still be the same athletically, but with artificially lower rim so they can dunk. I am sure some people will find it entertaining, but I don't think the masses will. Just look at CC, I doubt she can even come close to dunking and yet the entire nation is enamored with her. If she brings eyes in than people will see the preexisting talent in the league and probably be just fine with the product as it is.

NBA players are guaranteed 50% of the leagues income, the WNBA players receive 10%.

Although the WNBA should be given a higher percentage, but they need to start making at least a 10th of what the nba makes

[@728huey]

There are obvious reasons for that. The WNBA has fewer teams and they play less than half the games per season that the NBA does. Also, WNBA players don't even have chartered flights to travel to road games; players have to fly commercial. I understand why some of the current WNBA players are upset about salaries, but it was only a few years ago that women in the NCAA were able to make money on NIL contracts, so hopefully Caitlin Clark and the ladies who follow her will bring more eyeballs to the league and increase ticket sales.

@sourmilk911 Sorry dude, but you do not understand finance. It is 100% a fact that the WNBA generates revenue. You are confusing earnings with revenue. Revenue is the money you take in. Then you have your expenses. Earnings = Revenue - expenses. The WNBA does not have any earnings.

“you want us to lower the rims just so you can see me dunk on someone ?” Absolutely 🤣

[@jamescarpenter855]

Funny thing I it takes me about an hour to adjust yo a lower hoop so what are they that bad they cant adjust?

[@kris9145]

If women want wnba players to get paid more, they have to financially support/watch the wnba instead of just complaining about it

[@gods_sun626]

Truth of the matter is, even if you lowered the rim to 9 feet, the majority of the league STILL couldn’t dunk. And the ones who couldn’t would be extremely salty about getting dunked on.

[@davidraevsky7782]

When I was in my 20 s I once played at a elementary school that had 9 foot rims. It was a blast.

[@matthewarchibald4081]

Better practice format be determine to improve stand in front of the hoop to make the outside easier do drills for steals and blocks so we can see more fastbreak plays😊

[@raybarrows4418]

Most of these women hate the people that they want to support them.

[@calvinjeong9272]

Revenue share and scale the wages based on performance of team which would make it even more competitive.

[@kevindavisjunior]

They complain about ppl not watching WNBA but won’t make the adjustment the fans are asking for, but they have no problem using a smaller basketball…

[@lgphoto8489]

who is here long enough to remember Mike saying PrizePicks ads will be for a month only?

[@nicewithit1921]

It's not like the WNBA plays with the official size NBA basketball. I think it's a good idea to lower the basketball rim 🏀.

[@SeanGrantstormpinball]

I think you covered this perfectly... you show the undeniable math, but you are optimistic about the future and you wish them well. I wish them well too, and its clear that the sport is improving and becoming more marketable. The WNBA hopefully has programs to assist its players in promoting both the league and its stars, so that they can make money outside of their salaries like Caitlin Clark has. Cameron Brink probably made some money with her New Balance deal as well, and neither player has logged in a minute for the WNBA. The names and likeness deal for the NCAA has definitely benefited the WNBA, because the players can market themselves before they are drafted. Hopefully that will lead to a positive snowball effect for both the WNBA and their players, and the economics will become better for both.

Solid video 😊

Thank you, I’m a female that cheers for women in sports, I’m old but these opportunities were not even available to women in sports in the 70’s and early 80’s it’s progress.

[@330wiz7]

Why in the hell do they think they deserve anywhere close to the % of Revenue the guys get? The entitlement is wild

[@charlesxzavior4056]

lol this should have never been a discussion.

[@stephengrinkley9889]

The problem with the WNBA has always been that no one has been willing to tell them the truth. And the truth is their product is unwatchable, and their players are unlikable. Unwatchable: at just over 82 ppg, they score a whopping 32 ppg less than their male counterparts. That's trash as well as very boring. Unlikable: besides the constant complaining and lecturing male sports fans about how we have hidden hate for women because we don't want to watch a WNBA game, they also make stupid divisive political statements like Kneeling for the National Anthem and wearing "VOTE WARNOCK" T-shirts. IMO, an organization that has to be subsidized in order to remain solvent should not be making divisive political statements. The WNBA is going to get it's chance now with Caitlin Clark and others coming into the league. Let's see if they actually learn any lessons, or if they continue to be stubborn and defensive to criticism.

[@josephgaleana8895]

why is there a line on lowering the rim when they already use a smaller ball, different 3 point line and game time is less

[@spursamn]

I live near DC and I go to a lot of Wizards games. My girlfriend who played basketball in High School moved in with me recently and wants to go to a WNBA game. We have checked tickets and right now the cheapest WNBA game is over 3x what we typically pay for Wizards games. They have moved the Mystics vs Fever game to the Capital One Arena and yet I guarantee tickets are still going to be more expensive than Lakers @ Wizards for the cheapest tickets

[@asetelini]

Now I gotta be like Love and Basketball was a cliffhanger. Omar Epps better stop fucking around and get back in shape.

[@AthleticFatKid]

I played on a 9.5' hoop in middle school in my school league and played on a 10' hoop at home and it never affected my ability to hit layups or jump shots. The adjustment to a 9.5' hoop as a "professional athlete" literally shouldnt affect them in any way other than more people can reach the rim. I dont go to basketball games but i do watch highlights and girls absolutely posterizing each other would be awesome

[@haoye2413]

I agree that WNBA should make them more entertaining, since at the moment my local YMCA and high school basketball has more entertaining games. I do agree to some extent that if WNBA lower rim to make it more interesting, they will struggle on international tournament because they will have to recondition to them. I believe small difference in high competitive play can lead to win or lose.

[@northloo]

I used to say lower the rims as well. Now i believe the solution is elsewhere tbh. Its true that lowering the rims would bring more problems than it would fix actually.

[@MeRacko]

NBA in Bill Russell era didn't ask NFL to spot them money cuz they weren't making the profit and the pay was similar to current WNBA players get played

[@popitforpoppa1682]

who would have guessed that a league that has literally never turned a profit would have players that get paid less than the profitable league

[@theseyi]

So just a point of correction, LSU vs Iowa was last years championship game, not this year. This year was SC vs Iowa

[@hiphophistory2218]

When the Shock were in Detroit winning rings, we actually went to games, but they were actually going to games. We had three professional teams wing championships, or making deep playoff runs. Then, the WNBA allowed them to move the team to Tulsa. Bad move, killed the team.

[@2CanSam1000]

Majority of businesses close when they haven't made a profit for over 20 years.

[@bgarnett8463]

Don't they play with a smaller ball and a shorter three-ball line? They play fewer minutes per quarter so I don't see why they take offense to someone saying to drop the rim

[@Shine13373]

Love Mike's comment at the end, clearly never heard of Sabrina Ionescu and her $24 million Nike deal.

[@RadovanCvijetic]

So it's not enough that these dudes pretending to be girls are playing against real girls but they are also complaining about the salary gap??

[@ClassicRed2159]

Someone should lower it without them knowing. Also was the question asked to Clark what she makes off endorsements? Crying on pay when they are banking on endorsements. While working less on the court vs the NBA

[@scythia29]

Can we suggest to have the best WNBA player play against maybe a 6th man of the year nominee or someone with a veteran minimum contact and the loser gets the bigger bag?

[@mikeclontz5774]

Reruns of sponge bob square paints draws more views than this league .

[@ClassEBeats]

Being mad because people don’t want to watch your game is an elite level of entitlement…
