75% of the audience at WNBA games are women, why won't men support women?

Draymond tells women to stop, Stephen A Smith talks about it

Tired of men saying women don't support their stuff. How you show up to the fucking games and give it a chance and stop pointing the finger when you're wrong. Most of you never even once gave it a chance. Admit it. Ya bums.

[Kelsey Plum] I’m tired of people thinking that us players are asking for the same type of money as NBA players.. we are asking for the same percentage of revenue shared within our CBA. NBA players receive around 50% of shared revenue within their league, whereas we receive around 20%.

Most people want to watch high-intensity sport. You don't get to see that at women's sports. Go look at Women's soccer and compare that to men's soccer. Totally different ball game. And you notice this talk of the pay gap is only happening in America. Americans are too into social culture politics that they ignore crucial facts and common sense.

Women's soccer is better in the USA.

Yes, the Women's soccer team is more successful but if you actually look at the data. Ironically Women's soccer is getting paid for than Men. If you look at the lawsuit that was rejected it shows
The answer is self-evident - women on the US Women's Soccer Team demanding equal pay means they're demanding a pay cut.

Anyone with a lick of common sense knows that athletes are paid a percentage of the revenues their sports generate. If anything, they should be celebrating - their spectacular win has drawn a lot of attention to US Women's Soccer which, in return, will result in a lot more viewers and significantly increased revenues.

In brief, they're roasting their own golden goose. The more fuss they make, the more they're going to turn their huge win from an asset to a liability. Hopefully, they'll be smart enough to shut up and not do any more to turn people away from Women's Soccer.

On a practical level, Women's Soccer is a wholly different sport from Men's Soccer - they have their own venues, their own teams, their own schedules, own tournaments, and so forth. The city of Dallas, TX alone has the Rangers (MLB), Cowboys (NFL), Stars (NHL), and Burn/FC (MLS), in addition to both Mavericks (NBA) and Wings (WNBA).

Is it an issue that a Ranger is paid double what a Cowboy is paid? The Cowboys have FIVE Super Bowl victories (1971, 1977, 1992, 1993, & 1995) and made it to the Super Bowl three other times (1970, 1975, & 1978) for a total of EIGHT NFC Titles - the Rangers have only been to the World Series TWICE (2010 & 2011) but have never won.

Wow, imagine that.

Take the exact same arguments and apply them to a virtually-identical circumstance with all-male teams and everyone can clearly understand the logic and no one can discern any issues of discrimination. But the instant a woman's team is brought into the equation, "Oooooooh - SEXISM!"

I've watched a few womens basket games and i can admit that men's basketball is way better to watch.

[Wise4myage]

I don't even attend NBA games, so should I support the WNBA?

Talking about sport lovers who only watch men sports really

[Riebeck]

Womens sports are rarely if ever broadcasted. There isn't really a chance to support it
