    It's a travesty that these women ball out and only get a pittance compared to their male counterparts. They really need to implement at a minimum 6 figure salary. This is why I'm always perturbed when the male chauvinist crowd talks about how men are better than women. No, sorry men and women are equal. Pay the women their money, they deserve it.

      This couldn't be more wrong on every level.

      Men and women are not equal. In fact, there are fundamental differences.

      When it comes to professional basketball, this is even more true. It seems like you want some kind of equal pay for a far lesser job and responsibility. Maybe you just look for a similar percentage in relation to the big picture, that's fair, but considering the big picture involves a loss in revenue, the CBA for the women has a cap.

      The law required colleges to field women's basketball teams and while it should help, it doesn't always translate to the professional world.

      When there's a spike in the league revenue and sportsbook limits, then I think a new CBA could be in order. Until then, the WNBA is lucky they got next.

        Pay them with what money? Their league makes nothing so they get paid nothing. There is almost zero demand for their product. Do you understand basic economics? Infact if the NBA didn't advertise and support their fukin league they wouldn't have one to begin with. This is a Bernie Sanders post if I ever saw one.

          Honestly Unde, I think DeathAdder is just a troll.

          If you read the political, business, and sports nonsense he posts, it's a real possibility he's just trolling.

          I mean, he has to be, right?

            Earlier in this post someone speculated that they felt that the SJWs wouldn't even touch this one. I disagreed, and it seems DeathAdder proved me correct!

              My AAU team balls out. Does that mean they should get comparable wages to NBA players? That is laughable. Sports is entertainment. The public sets the wages by their attendance/interest. Zero attendance = zero money. Very simple supply and demand. No demand, no supplies to feed the process. Now, if the WNBA was making billions of dollars then you would have a point. What you're talking about is charity/non profit and there's not a lot of money in charity work, which the WNBA basically is at this point.

              Title 9 has pretty much killed men's soccer. Many colleges won't support a men's team because they would then have to support an equivalent women's team. That's ridiculous for many colleges to do. Why should they support teams that don't make money? Or at least self sustain themselves? Schools should not be charities for men or women to exploit.

                Womens' college sports have no more right to get travel funding and scholarships than special Olympics r3tards do.

                Both aren't good enough to play on the mens team, so why should women get special funding treatment over kids with down syndrome?
