Questions: Sports

For me the answer is no.

First, if the NBA didn't subsidize the WNBA it wouldn't exist, or if it did, they would be making less than minimum wage. The NBA runs the WNBA as a net loss.

Second, I can only name maybe one player. Just one. And their stadiums are almost always empty. They get paid less because they bring in less money. And again if the NBA stopped subsidizing them (which in my opinion they should), the WNBA would just disappear.

Third, you could put the very best WNBA team against the very worst NBA team, and they would get smashed. Hell you could put them up against a high school boys team and they would get smashed (kinda how team USA women's soccer, went up against retired wrexham players and got smashed)

Basically it makes no financial sense to pay WNBA players the same as NBA players when the entire league is a net negative, they make no money essentially, and their skill just doesn't match their male counterparts.

I've been watching ladies tennis, and they don't act lady like. They shake their fists at the other player every minute, and how they don't end up fighting each other I don't know.

What is your opinion?
