I saw a chart comparing average pay of WNBA players vs NBA players in the top line.
The second line was revenue of the two organizations.

Based on revenue, WNBA players are WAY overpaid.

Edit: Found it:

Narrative: WNBA players are underpaid.

Reality: NBA generates 167x the revenue of the WNBA. NBA players earn only 93x the average WNBA player.

Adults rarely say stupid things at the level of stupidity they'll recite about male/female pay gaps. Only race narrative platitudes can compete with that level of dumb.

The E stands for Equity.

There are accounts that nut-pick magats the way LibsOfTiktok nut-picks the woke. They would definitely make the team photo.

There are accounts that nut-pick magats the way LibsOfTiktok nut-picks progressives. They would definitely make the team photo.

The male/female pay gap thing, and certain race narrative things, are special in how mainstream they are.

She’ll make much more than the average NBA player in endorsements.

If the NBA did not subsidize the WNBA, there would be no WNBA.

“Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all,” Biden wrote on X. “But right now we’re seeing that even if you’re the best, women are not paid their fair share. It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve.”

Wait, he's a biologist now?

What about Lea Thomas?

Let’s open up the NBA D-League (player salaries ~$120K) for female athletes to compete as well and see how that goes.
