That said… saying the WNBA is beyond criticism is of course asinine. Demanding more money when the league has yet to turn a profit is a bad look. It should be noted however that business owners play games to avoid paying taxes especially when a business is young. So “the league has yet to turn a profit” while technically true might be a distortion of reality to some extent.
The league is unquestionably growing in popularity.
Players earning below 100k a year seems wrong. Making the league minimum 100 or 150k would be a good start.
WNBA needs more competent players tho. I mean …

The talent disparity between this and girls like Clark and Bueckers is comical. Instead of embracing the talented girls who are bringing more eyeballs, clicks and money to the league; there’s a bunch of petty, insecure, jealous children doing everything in their power to tear down Clark. It pathetic and it pushes people away from the WNBA.
That girl getting rejecting at the club was hilarious
I don’t watch many games, but Clark is not the best player. That was the case when she was playing well. Stats don’t even back up that claim and you could almost find stats to back up anything.
I’m guessing some people are going to keep pretending, maybe I should too, that the NBA players all welcomed Jordan, Kobe, and LBJ’s reign. I’ll pretend I didn’t live through it and hear players speak on them, I’ll pretend that they weren’t trying to prove they were better than those 3. I’ll pretend like they weren’t slamming MJ to the ground and more to try and rattle him. I’ll pretend that all the other MALES just welcomed them with open arms when people tried to crown them early, especially LBJ who crowned himself before the NBA! Yeah, the other players just laid down and praised their kings! Many shouts of savior rang out before every one of their games and after, from all the other players.
I’m not going to go back and forth with any of you, because I’m reading between the lines on a couple of you. I’ll have to excuse myself from the forum if I engage further on the other stuff.
There are people who watch the W the way they do the NBA, they can better refute your claim or tell me why you’re right. I’ll leave it to them to give insight on the best player(s).
The reason I like Clark is because she’s not on the same BS as some of you. She knows what’s up! She’s not perfect, but she can see what’s going down. I have had to defend her at times when people just see what others say online instead of listening to her. I intentionally seek out things she says, I watch her try and navigate, sometimes she fails, but a lot of the time she’s been on the right side of things. This is huge pressure because of underlying “issues” for the entire league, not just Clark. They are trying to get through it as best they can. The NBA went through it too. It is what it is, stay Americaning America.
I don’t know the exact numbers, but the NFL AND THE NBA each were not profitable at least 40 years! Of the major sports the WNBA players get the smallest % of the revenue. Yes, even when the NBA and NFL were in the hole OVER 40 years, the player’s split was exponentially higher than the split the WNBA players are getting! In fact, people are lying when they say that the women think they’re the same level as the men, they aren’t asking for anywhere close to the 50% split that the top male leagues are getting! They just don’t want the lowest percentage of all the leagues, which is at 9%! That’s disgusting!!
The WNBA will be profitable in ALMOST half the time it took both the NFL and NBA, FWIW.
