Attention ESPN: Nobody Cares That Nneka's No. 1

[darkhat]

I don't even know who this woman is, but I'm pissed she's been on the front page of ESPN all day. I can only assume she's that half man that played for baylor. I'm not gonna look it up, and I don't care if I'm wrong.

How is the WNBA still in existence? Who watches this shit..

[pinnerpsk]

haha so true.

[milwaukee mike]

Nnemkadi Ogwumike from stanford

got nothing against her since her last name ends in "mike"

[mynameismud]

players average salary is like 35k. top pay is 105k.

[Naz18]

WNBA is on ESPN so of course they will cover it....it's just like all that Nascar crap the past few years...

LOL WNBA is a complete joke. Why would you play basketball for 35k a year when yo ucan easily make double that.

they only play 34 games/year

no idea where else you think these women can make $1000/day

Typical sbr home of the sexist hamburgers... turn the channel flip the page if u don't like it... good money to be made in womens sports

you're half right

dictator stern moves the wnba as a package with the nba so espn has to kiss their ass and promote this shit otherwise the league is an even bigger failure than it already is....there's nothing worse than seeing wnba commercials during the nba playoffs

i've heard that pro beaver ball is a place where you can make a good profit but i refuse to get into it that much to know

[InTheDrink]

so they just said this draft was held AT espn?

what a fukkin joke

[flyingillini]

JohnAnthony cares, trust me on that one.

I respect you Mike, so wouldn't get in any debate... I didn't take into account the days worked. Also, in reality, it is still a joke in my opinion if a PRO ATHLETE salary takes in less than a real job for a year.. What is she gonna do, work at kinkos for a few months for 10 bucks an hour.. Maybe Train other kids to play Bball?.. they all want to do that.

I know people in the television industry that make GREAT money, but they get 6 months off a year unpaid.. So how much are they really making if you incorporate that half year salary to a yearly salary.. You are not doing as well as you could maybe..

I do however, appreciate your opinion, and I'm drunk and prob believe you are right once I sober up..

That's why Griner stays in school she gets paid more at Baylor

[floridagolfer]

You're just discovering NOW that ESPN has no clue what it's doing? C'mon, get with the program.

[teaserpleaser]

They play in europe when wnba season is up ... playing a game vs having a real job not a hard choice. With a proper agent she'll make well over 100k a year. i take my brothers girls to sparks games i'd rather watch skylar diggins shes easy on the eyes or grinner from baylor but O will do.

[HoulihansTX]

Their season. Is only 3 months. Doubt many jobs out their for "regular joes" were you make 35K in 3 months, W or L.

[jjgold]

Not bad pay

These chicks love playing also and most have short careers so why not play

[HoulihansTX]

They make all of their money in Europe during the Winter/Spring. @ the begininng of the WNBA season, many of the players are still in Europe playing. They trickle in as the season matures.

[thetrinity]

houlihans right, they get paid more over in europe, they basically play 2 seasons a year.
