It's a male-subsidized league. We gave you your fuck**g league, none of you showed up!!!” — Bill Burr reflects on the NBA-WNBA pay gap

Smgdh

Ummm you put the "***" in the wrong place morons

In his unique comedic style, Burr brings up a fact most people don't know - that the NBA covers WNBA losses each year. The women's league is yet to turn a profit since it's inception in 1997.

Not to mention all the built-in value the NBA provided for the game of basketball outright, which the WNBA got to coast on for free.

When the NBA kicked off, professional basketball was basically not a thing.

They don't get paid less because they need to "pay dues".

They get paid less because they can't generate any meaningful amount of economic productivity.

If people gave a shit, they would have flooded the WNBA with eyeballs immediately and WNBA players would have been compensated accordingly.

The NBA was a trailblazer. The WNBA tried to walked the path the NBA already laid out and immediately fell flat on its face.

In MMA, Ronda Rousey had to pay peanuts worth of "dues" compared to male fighters of her era, let alone male fighters of the mid or even late 90s (roughly equivalent to WMMA in 2012-2014), but she got paid more than pretty much every male fighter except two or three...because people wanted to part with their money to watch her.

Not to mention currently 5-6 WNBA teams play in massive arenas paying rent where their NBA counterparts play in. At least some teams play in smaller college venues, and the Sun play inside an arena inside a casino.

Working hard and "paying dues" but not generating economic productivity will not equal big compensation.

Plenty of manual laborers work extremely hard and pay dues, but don't get compensated amazingly well.

Plenty of social media "influencers" work in a relatively normal way, but generate money up the butthole.

Jake Paul in his first boxing match made more money than 99 percent of boxers will ever make for a fight, and paid extremely minimal dues.

Plenty of WNBA players work reasonably hard (I assume). It doesn't matter because no one cares and no one wants to watch.

It's 100% what was implied.
I'm not in any way interested in this unnecessary exchange of multiple threads you're trying to initiate where you claim I meant something I didn't mean. I didn't read your post beyond line one

Move on

H.mm that would be the opposite of autistic.

And I'm always a multithinkertasker but don't lose track at all. It's just more efficient .

I perform better with multiple than with solitary

You feel sorry for the fake persona you all have systematically created with shear lies and now wholeheartedly believe and claim is me.
You're especially guilty of false belief


Sad.

Don't reply...I'm not interested. Stay on the bench. You've never been game ready here.
