ye just drop ur paypal without context lol
Great video! I just did a video on this on my channel
@deharleyva ouch. Nice one.
The WNBA is still basketball though, while the NBA is not and has been turned into a packaged product. Simply put - the NBA sucks: it's not competitive, they play zero D and the new rules are just there to foster more fastbreak, less grit, more scoring, less defense, more dribbling, less playbook, more traveling violation non-calls etc. etc. But the NBA's product appearance vs. the WNBA's sports appearance is the consumer's fault: as a society we are becoming slouches that want technology doing everything for us and we want everything fast and easy and on-the-go. So that idiot fake sports show host there toward the end of this video was right about one thing - it IS all about the consumer today. The only thing is this is supposed to sports not some consumer product.
The NBA could successfully over time transition the WNBA to be similarly a shallow but profitable consumer product like the NBA is. That a good thing or bad thing?
Women professional sports (with the exception of Tennis) are just not athletic enough to attract a critical mass audience - so they end up as subsidized PR projects for the main professional league. Same in basketball, soccer, cricket, rugby etc.
Imagine if NBA spent those 10 million dollars every year on actual charity with a cause, and not feed these entitled children.
Poverty will almost be completely gone
Dayum thats facts.
To add clarity to this statement about providing for charities rather than “prop up” the WNBA... What if you gave this 10 million a year to Clothing for Homeless Children... but the children get on the media and say, “You people aren’t giving enough. We deserve better cloths... and what about shoes. Damn! Would a pair of Nikes hurt ya!!!” Time to close this shop up and send the whole bunch packin back to the school yard. Oh, and give em each $100 to use as betting money on pick up playground games with guys! All of the “ladies” would be broke by the end of the day! Done!
David McPhail you're taking the piss right those kids aren't going to be picky shits because they will take what they get but the WNBA are greedy worthless pigs
Wish they didn't cancel the "The Starters" love those guys,but NBA always have to go with their agenda and have to empower females,even though they're losing money on them smdh.
I would honestly watch a street ball game at a random park in NYC before I'd watch WNBA.
Yeah, I'd rather watch a pickup game at the local YMCA featuring 40-50 year old men than watch the WNBA.
At least the trash talk would be funny
The pickup game would be way more worthy of my time
You will not be disappointed. Streetball in nyc is lit
Facts... I would rather watch 9 yr old kids play than a missed and air ball lay ups
Damn, it’s like the NBA is paying child support all the while knowing it’s not your kid.
Ouch
Tuff but true
It's their drug addicted and alcohol addicted sister with diabetes.
Hahah
Brilliant, sir! BRILLIANT!!!
The WNBA, the sport nobody asked for.
@Joel Gutierrez oh u mean monsters
WNBA is not a sport.
Basketball is a sport.
FIFA is not a sport.
Football is a sport.
Organisation =\= activity.
Here is a list of the top 10 WNBA players
Thanks for reading
😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
Quite a long list
Too long make it shorter
You forgot to include
Juanna mann on your list
Top 0 reason why you should watch WNBA
WNBA Players: "We want more money".
NBA: "Well then you have to earn it".
WNBA Players: "Waaaahhh!"
To be fair, there are a fair number of liberals in the NBA that thinks those women deserve fair pay.
@@wallstreetzoomer well they should get fair pay. Whats wrong with fair pay. As long as their pay matches up with the money the league generates or loses, then it is fair. Are you against people getting paid fairly.
@@wallstreetzoomer Their current pay is more than fair.
Bomspresh Eze the wnba aint generating shit lol they should consider themselves lucky to be making what they do
Bomspresh Eze yeah I’m against fair pay when it’s not earned these girls went to college they should be smart enough and not embarrass themselves you look up and see your stands you see their empty why are they trying to embarrass the league even more than it’s already is
“We don’t know our worth as a collective bc we’re not told”
Their worth : -10 Million
Every year.
@@sparkythesecretsquirrel4013 For 27 years.
“You’re not making us any money and you haven’t been since we started”
Players: “give us more money”
WNBA players demanding equal pay as NBA players is like me fighting my neighbor in my backyard and demanding I get paid like Floyd Mayweather
They play half the games, use a smaller ball with the same size basket but want NBA money? Get NBA attendance and TV viewership and we can talk.
Almost died
Are you gonna do Pay per View when you fight your neighbor? I’m in!
thats the point
Shacari Sperley players demand stuff a lot
10 millions a year over 22 years. Damn.
At this point it's not an investment it's just charity.
Holy s***! That's 22 million more than the 2016 contracts signed by Mozgov, Noah, Mahinmi and Biyombo combined.
Drunken Master II damn I’ve never agreed so fully with a CZcams comment before lol
Everyone knows that but in today's PC culture the NBA would get eaten alive for not supporting women and be labeled mysigonist.
I couldn't have put it better myself
Well said drunken máster!
If they really want to set their own wages, then they should break away from the NBA and run the league on their own.
"Its a valid question" we dont want to answer because we dont like the truth
FAIL NUMBER ONE: WOMEN DO NOT WATCH WOMEN SPORTS... case closed
I feel like you wanted to make a splash with this comment. Like a "drop the mic" kind of comment, but I honestly feel like you tried too hard and instead it fell flat as fuck. LMAO! FAIL
king sosa but for some reason there is a massive increase in female sports broadcasters. Cam newton is right, it’s weird hearing a woman talk about routes lol cause the women I know, don’t watch sports! Period.
@vitriol or debate yeah, no! try again
@@Hugecannonballs See you just offended your fellow Liberal with that comment. Better hope The View cunts didn't see your comment. Unless you're a minority, then you will be okay.
@@Hugecannonballs lmaooo...yea you suck at youtube comments bro 😂😂😂😂
The WNBA should just have their games during NBA halftimes
LMAO.
And have the owners share the concessions? Naahh, I don't think so.
They need their own revenue generation money-maker that they can shake.
But in this PC climate, let the owner have their own "slush fund" in case they get shaken down!
Red panda won't be happy
that's a brilliant idea! but i'd rather watch half court lottery shots or cheerleading. i think that NBA attendance would def. be negatively affected
😂😂
Shameless entitlement, living off of the men then asking for more special treatment. These are strong women???
You see it all day everywhere!
The WNBA stands for... "Where No Body Attends"
“I can beat Demarcus Cousins 1v1”- Brittney Griner. They act like we have no reason to make fun of them 😂
They have a video of her missing dunks in the layup line. lol
Rob M LMFAO Boogie would break her back by accident.
Maybe after he tore his achilles
Bruh cousins could be hurt and still beat her sorry ass
If you break both of DC's arms & legs, she could beat him.
Men support men's sport by spending cash, why can't women do the same for woman's sports.
Cuz most women don't give a shit about sports
Women dont really like women, its an act.
@@timetravelingoldman6839 the only women I know that do actually watch sports is cause they perv over the men.. 😂
@@trahouston true. A guy can go out to a bar on his own and make a brand new set of friends. A chick can't do the same especially if some another lady has the same top, dress etc on. 😂
Time Traveling Old Man look at NBA, NFL & Football (Soccer if you’re in America) lots of female fans.
The NBA is in a no win situation when it comes to whether they want to keep funding the WNBA. Wokeness means promoting women’s sports even more so over men’s sports these days, and companies/networks/corporations who don’t go woke get cancelled. The WNBA basically has the NBA by the balls. The NBA is basically forced to keep funding the money hemorrhaging WNBA, yet no amount of marketing or PR can force sports fans to start caring about women’s sports.
Tax write off 😂😂😂
Lol "confidentiality agreement". She didn't want people to know they're asking for more money when they're already losing millions every year.
Even if the tickets were free they would still have trouble filling the seats
Mmm (pondering in thought): This is a "borederline" comment! Anywhere that I can equate "free" with women, in the same breath, may cure some of this ennuied lack of desire.
Haha, hilariously true fact. Half their fans just wanna see the arena!
I'd rather watch a boys state high school playoff game than a WNBA game. Even women don't watch the WNBA.
They would have to start a draft like for Vietnam to get asses in the seats and some would still try and get to Canada to avoid a WNBA game.
I bet if they did a diddle yourself day they can fill up
When Stephen Curry dunks more than your entire league you have a problem
Lmao 😂💀
When a guy who’s 5’7 is dunking on people in the NBA and someone who’s 6’9 can’t make a layup in the WNBA, you have a major problem
Right
There are more dunks in one NBA game than an entire league.
Always gotta slight steph somehow. Bronsexuals!!!!!
i remember 2 years ago i bought tickets to go see a concert and the lady gave me some wnba tickets and i said whats this? and she said oh its some wnba tickets for a game you get them free,and i said i dont want that.and she said but they're free.and i said i dont care i dont want them
Lol
😅🤣😂☠💀
I have absolutely no problem with the WNBA as a concept. I DO have a problem with WNBA players disrespecting NBA players and demanding higher pay for their inferior performance. How fucking dare you demand to be paid the same as the people who are literally supporting you.
No real business operating in the real world could run at a 22 year loss every year, without bankruptcy.
It's the bad PR nightmare of the NBA closing the WNBA.
soulspeaker1979 wdym? If your talking about the WNBA running out of money they won’t. The nba owns 70% of the WNBA and the nba pays. And the nba won’t run out of money because they are a multi billion dollar company
soulspeaker1979
That's insignificant
Written off as an annual operating loss id guess
So when I pay $7 to watch a single nba game some of my money goes to the WNBA wth gimme that back
😂😂😂💀💀💯
😭
Shut up ogloc and go back mopping the floors of cluckin bell!
You’re a shitty person
Rip my money too
WNBA: we lose every year 10 mill : also WNBA give us more money
Also WNBA: why am I not making fat stacks like LeBron?
thank you for this. keep pumping these videos out. the truth needs to be told
They've got teams playing in rec centers and yet the players want NBA money. C'mon Son.

Who won the WNBA championship this year?????? That's right, no American will ever know that answer
Seattle
It was the team with that girl...forgot her name. Candace....
CarlosChip Morales My guess would be White Plains.
Edit: The New York Liberty actually do play there nowadays in the Westchester County Center, in White Plains! They’re not outdrawing the G-League tenant, that’s for sure.
Name a WNBA team? Just as difficult of a question lol
Storm with Stewie being mvp.
Why not just get rid of the WNBA? 22 years of failure wouldn't be tolerated in most other businesses...
Because it is career suicide, especially in the media to criticise women, or tell them the truth.
Because we have to treat women with kid gloves and white knight whenever possible.
TurboCMinusMinus 😂😂😂
That would be sexist.
Exactly what I thought..
It's not investment, it's charity
I once was flipping through the channels on TV at 3 in the morning and briefly saw a WNBA game on TV. That was the only time I've ever seen a game.
Remember when the WNBA champs said they weren't going to visit Trump at the White House and everybody else in the nation laughed because they didn't know the WNBA still existed?
No actually I don't! Haha guess I proved your point
@Happy 2BeHere the pheonix something?
Omg,that is so true and funny
I’m sure Trump really relishes the lost opportunity to meet a pack of roided up shemales. 😛
Not even me bro . Thanks for the info hahahahaha . Seriously , we don't care and don't even need have a reason to continue this shit.
The WNBA is unwatchable to the point that no one even noticed that you called the Washington Mystics the Capitals.
Bruh 😭😭
Hahaha
I never knew their name so it was nothing to notice 😂😂😂
Fun fact: The single highest attended WNBA game in history was the Mystics home game which occurred the same day as game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals between the Washington Capitals and the Las Vegas Golden Knights, because there was a viewing party in the arena following the basketball game. And hockey fans were willing to simply be there for 6 hours, just to guarantee their seats to watch the game on the jumbotron (the game was in Vegas). And I love hockey, but it is by a wide margin, the least popular of the big 4 American sports (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL). This should speak volumes to how little anyone cares about seeing an WNBA game.
Fatality.
The NBA needs to stop giving funds to the WNBA. Let them sink or swim on their own!!
Right, women are always saying how independent they are,so let them be independent
The WNBA .......it is literally the pro sports team that NO sports fans ever asked for.
I forgot who but I believe a comedian put it best: (paraphrasing) "Be honest with yourself. Would you rather your hometown WNBA team win a championship, or to find 20 dollars while walking on the street".
We all know what we would choose.
To be fair I would rather get the 20 than my hometown NBA team wins a Championship lol
@@andreilyas1426 no shit, that's the point
Dolla does it He said his hometown NBA team, not WNBA team. Learn to read before you mouth off.
Exactly I’d rather have my Nba team win a championship rather than 20 bucks. I don’t even know if my town has a WNBA team lmao.
It was 5 bucks not 20
22 years without showing any profit; that has to be some kind of record.
Are we sure Trump doesnt own it?
22 years without showing any profit?? Kinda sounds like my life
YUP!
CZcams has been losing money for it's entire existence too, the difference is that people actually watch youtube though.
They should join the LFL, skimpy bikini shorts playing 7 on 7 arena football 😎
WNBA is the equivalent of doing CPR on a skeleton
You could sit the entire WNBA down in front of the world's best math teacher and have him use a white board to explain, in detail, the economic reasons why the pay is what it is, then have female teacher repeat it so they would actually listen; they would still say it's not fair and start repeating the same talking points like nothing happened.
I’m waiting for some average guy that identifies as a girl to play in the wnba and start slam dunking on them, now that I would watch.
😂😂😂😂💯💯
I would so watch too
so you are saying WNBA would be a lot better if it was full of male players (high five)
It's already a Menagerie
Juwanna Mann
I predict this video will get more views next year then the WNBA will
That is wrong but funny and true.
Almost spit out my food with that one!! LOL
Never watched the WNBA but am watching this video 😂
😂😂 it’s so true tho haha
Lol
The women of the WNBA should buy the league and then see what they do.......
It's simple. If you don't make more money than you spend, your out of business.
It's not rocket science.
I’ve gone to a couple of WNBA games and I have to say the players should be happy with what they have. Attendance is almost always trash
Kinda hard to call it attendence when half of the attendance is papered ie; free tickets to look better on paper
Seth Kasso that is so true
@@ckywizard, why did you go to a WNBA game, not once but twice apparently? Did you lose a bet? Were you blackmailed? Do you have a six year old daughter? Otherwise there seems to be no legitimate excuse for your clear lack of discernment.
Dean Eden they had the Seattle pro-am after the games.
@Best Commentseva *woman
Imagine two businesses-
Business 1 Makes a lot of money, Business 2 loses a lot of money.
Business 1 invests and helps out business 2, looking for nothing other than perhaps some form of gratitude.
Business 2 sees that the employees of business 1 are making more money than them & they get jealous.
Business 1 continues to support Business 2, ensuring all their employees are kept in employment.
Business 2 starts to DEMAND that they are paid more, simply because employees of Business 1 earn more.
Business 1 explains that business 1 employees earn more, because they work in a very successful and profitable business.
Business 2 employees don't care, even though they have been kept in a job due to the generosity of business 1 supporting their failing business, they again demand more money.
At what point does Business 1 turn round and simply say: "Fuck you, you ungrateful shits, we've kept you employed in a job for X number of years and you constantly turn round and spit in our face? - Well fuck you, you're on your own."
At which point Business 2 declines steadily resulting in all employees of Business 2 being either completely out of employment or working part-time.
Of course it is at this point that the employees of Business 2 turn round and abuse Business 1 for not supporting them & painting them as the villains who let Business 2 down.
----
DO YOU HAVE NO SHAME?!
This is all Business 1's fault. Why is Business 1 stupidly wasting it's money on Business 2. Nobody is forcing Business 1 to invest in Business 2.
@@Maxknell They know now that it's highly unprofitable, they have lost half a billion so far. And they are still shelling out money for it. They can only blame themselves.
@@deadbutmoving buisness 1 would get roasted for being misogynistic despite literally dragging buisness 2's corpse around for 20 years
Lol the situation you put seems more like a money laundry business then a legitimate business.
WNBA players: Pay me more Business sense: am I a joke to you?
I don’t even know what time of year the WNBA season is. It loses $10M annually. Just get rid of it. Nobody will notice or care.
A heard a WNBA player say that they just want a percentage of shared revenue..????..What revenue? The WNBA losses on avg. $10 million dollars a season.. delusional.
Men's High School basketball televised would be more profitable than the WNBA. I wish the WNBA was exciting to watch, but it isn't.
Go to Indiana. They've filled a 45,000 seat arena for a State championship game.Televised it and I believe like 50-60% of TVs in the state tuned it at some point during the game
I would gladly watch male high schoolers destroy wnba players, but women wouldn't want us to see that because they would deem it "unfair"
I agree
"Boys Highschool basketball"
@meaturama IMG academy vs New York Liberty would be lit lol.
I really like the comment "Women's sports should be covered when they're great, otherwise you're patronizing them." Very well said.
Good point but... I'd change it to, "interesting" because Americans watch a ton of stuff that aint great but is fun. AFV for example
Rob Peg we
Over its life, the WNBA has lost a ** QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS**!
WNBA is like watching 7th grade basketball. On top of that, every time one of the players opens her mouth it’s to talk down on the NBA and it’s players.
Man, I'm starting to think you were dating a WNBA player and she did you dirty. You've been annihilating the league. 😂😂😂 Love it.
Keep going In on the femenist!!!
@@stonelove871 I was thinking the same thing
No one in there to date. Their all lesbian.
@Jayson William It was a joke buddy calm down.
@@smilebehappy6102 Your claim is hollow at best. Where is provable, empirical data, that there are more independent female subscribers than male subscribers for cable and satellite companies, and even more so, where is your data filtering out those women that watch the NBA than those that don't?
So ok let me try to understand this. At this time WNBA players receive 20% of the REVENUE (not profit because if so they would be billed every year instead of getting paid). Even with 20% of the revenue, WNBA overall loses money. In order to continue operating, WNBA is subsidized by the NBA. Yet the women are asking for a raise. So if lets say women get the raise and get paid 35% of the revenue then where is the money going to come from? Only place it can come from is in the form of larger subsidy from the NBA. Basically these women are asking for bigger handouts from the NBA, the men. WNBA is supposedly a league where they are trying to promote gender equality, this 'women can do it too' mantra yet they are looking for the men to carry them? The product itself is bad. You can wrap a box of shit with whatever kind of shiny pretty wrappings you want, but what you get at the end of the day is a box of shit i.e. WNBA.
Women as a group aren't good with logic.
lol bunch of 'feminists' who want men to pay for everything! #fraud
Not only do they want to be carried by the men, but they complain all the time about how the men overshadow them. Maybe because they are letting them? If you are always so worried about the male league making more money, then you are never focused on improving yourself and your own league to make money. As far as I'm concerned, the WNBA is full of a bunch of lesbianic, feminist pussies who want an equivalent handout simply because they are considered professional athletes. The difference is, they don't get butts in seats or eyes on matches like Curry, LeBron, Klay, Durant, Anthony Davis, Kyrie, Kawhi etc etc do. I hope they go out of business or that the NBA sells their share in the league ASAP.
Ouch. Real talk. Painful truth.
exactly! the "suport exaulity, support the wnba" commericals pissed me off. For those reasons, plus the fact people watch things to be entertained. THe lies that were spit in the video by them saying they couldn't speak about the financial position on the wnba because of a :confidentiality agreement" when there clearly is no such thing!
This could never happen the other way around.
The issue is lack of revenue, ticket sales , sponsorship, TV contracts etc. Without the NBA dollars the wnba would be defunct. Let them sink or swim on their own, and the blame game can stop. They can't my NBA money because " we're awesome ".
So the WNBA has been around for 22 years and has lost somewhere in the neighborhood of $220 Million dollars. And these women want a massive raise ? They can't be serious.
They are extremely lucky that the NBA is still pumping a boat load of cash into the league. They should be grateful and do whatever it takes to keep things going. Sooner or later the NBA is going to say enough is enough
But equal pay! Waaaah!
That number is actually probably higher than $220 million. I'd imagine the NBA is probably at least $500-700 million in the hole for the WNBA.
Can you believe that they opted out ?
They leech public financing though. As a PR move it's probably smart.
The democratic party is running the WNBA or the state of Illinois is.
I would rather watch the big 3 league then to watch 1 WNBA game
lx_Lil Mario -_- Productions_xl I would rather watch dogs run in the street. WNBA hasn't been good since after the first 3-4 years.
I rather watch my towns rec basketball team
I'd rather watch a local middle school game than the WNBA
i love big3
lx_Lil Mario -_- Productions_xl
If you ever fall into the hands of your enemies, you will be locked in a room with a TV that only plays WNBA games.
Laughable. These women live in a fantasy world and have no merit for a pay raise. The NBA should cut ties and let them figure it out on their own.
What "value as a collective" is she talking about. Does she not see they play to empty seats.
I've watched more 24 hour fitness pick up games than WNBA.
I have literally not watched a WNBA game in my entire 24 years and I have watched hundreds and hubdreds of NBA games
Bro same the mens league at my local gym actually goes hard shits great workout and we got 8 teams.
Closest WNBA game I watch was juwanna Mann 😂
probly better games too
They gotta let transexuals into the WNBA
As an absolute basketball fan... The WNBA just isnt exciting to watch.. Im not sexist or misogynistic... Just being honest...
Exactly
by the way there's nothing wrong with sexism or misogynistic, it's just the reality of life
@@odcrl1 Actually those things are your choice, like any other type of prejudice.
you don't get it, honesty to a woman is sexist & misogynistic, they are bratty children in the Westernized world
I actually like it. I been to a couple of Sparks playoffs games over the years and it was fun.
WNBA is like that one kid who never showered in school they’re annoying and you avoid them
NBA is supporting WNBA even if it makes financial losses every year, for the love of the game. If WNBA players are going to cry and act like ungrateful entitled brats, NBA should just liquidate their share, and let them govern themselves.
So by these calculations the WNBA shouldn’t even still be a thing
but feminism.....?
Nope, it's been subsidized from it's inception and after 20, still can't break even. If this were a business, it would've went under a whole ago.
Get Woke Go Broke.
WNBA is gonna fold... nobody wants to see women play basket ball.. I'm sorry
Fold...as in clothes?
If it was gonna fold it would've a long time ago. The fact is what Colin Cowherd said at the end is truth. Even though they lose money and nobody wants to see them, The NBA will keep throwing money in to it because it's the women's movement.
I wouldn't mind watching it if the play wasnt so terrible. Ive tried many times and changed the channel 5 minutes into it.
Adam Silver to himself: "Should I do the right thing and pull the plug on this money pit, or do I want to become Public Enemy #1 in a feminist hissy fit and be forced out of my job in disgrace? I think I'll pay the $10 mil a year."
@Alchemica Blackwood I agree with you. The NBA is kind of stuck. Then again, what's $10 - $13 million to the NBA?
So it’s safe to say the WNBA runs like a government office, with no expectation to generate the amount of money it spends.
I watched some games.. we should watch this more.. it's PURE COMEDY
“It’s a movement, not an organic sport...” perfectly said!
I can't believe it but I'm actually agreeing with Colin Cowherd for once
Simple solution to all of this, if they wanna be paid like the men, then let them play with the men. Lets see these women go through all the high school scouting, college scouting, and lets see them prove their worth against the men. Lets see them try to out-shine these men getting paid millions. Now when we see these women doing step-backs over LeBron and alley-oopin' over KD, then AND ONLY THEN will they receive top dollar like those men who have proven themselves. Prove your worth. Don't just bitch about cash because YOU THINK you deserve it. I don't wanna hear the "Well they are men and we are women" either. If thats the case, then shut the fuck up. You shouldn't have been comparing your situation and paychecks to those men's situation and paychecks in the 1st place. Their argument is terribly thought out and horribly presented

@Bill Toole
You just made his point!
the first part when u just started talking got me w that image
Women's gymnastics is far more popular and profitable than men's gymnastics, even though the men are far more advanced gymnasts. But for whatever reason the women are more popular. You don't hear the men gymnasts complaining about equal pay.
Interviewer:"how do you ask for more in this climate when you lose 12 million annually?"
WNBA player:"that's a good question"
Proceeds to not answer the question
And also says they to "dissect and analyze the problem". Holy shit...the problem is that your organization is losing 12 million dollars a year. Anyone with half a brain would know that there is no time to analyze and dissect anything as the well is drying up quickly.
The interviewer's face reads you should be grateful you still have a league.
They are answering questions like the VP. At least neither of them laughed.
Hmm. I thought they said 30m in losses annually
Women don't want to be responsible for their actions or take accountability, so she's just doing the age ol' "say a lot of nice feminine words without saying anything" spiel.
Imagine NASCAR, but substitute the insanely fast stock cars with unmodified Chrysler PT Cruisers
This is the WNBA.
Triscuit H Only if all the PT cruisers had at least one flat tire.
Oh, and then add in the dickheads who would lecture you for not wanting to watch PT Cruisers instead of Stock Cars.
I can't relate because you said NASCAR.
Best comment on here! Great analogy! Also if the league loses money should they not pay to play?
Lol!. That was good.
In Australia we formed a national league for womens football only a few years ago. As with the NBA/WNBA it was set up as a partnership. The difference here is that we partnered the womens teams with existing mens teams - same team names, same uniforms etc. It meant the teams started out with a built-in supporter base.
That sounds good, having both men and women mixed in
That’s basically like all football/soccer leagues do around the world.
@@kennethverona25 you obviously miss read the post.
@@kennethverona25Men and women aren’t playing together. It means that there would be Men’s Lakers team and Women’s Lakers team.
I truly believe the NFL could pull this off.
Women don’t even watch WNBA basketball lmao 😂
Thats the problem because if they did they would help them
If they truly want raises they need to get views as well but they dont therefore no raises
Bill Burr did a thing on Conan where he talked about this and it was spot on. Do you think the feminazies watch any WNBA? I don’t. But I damn sure know they have their eyes glued to NFL headlines, waiting for domestic violence incidents to pop up so they can go on Twitter and bash the United States court system for wanting facts and evidence in their cases.
Ser Davos Seaworth yeah I totally agree. They definitely don’t watch the WNBA but they sure are tuned in to everything men do
How do you know if you don't watch it yourself?
Why watch a weaker, slower, smaller version of a sport that already exist
I asked my lil female cuzin who played high school and D3 college bball to name a Wnba player. She said i cant i dont watch it. Dwade my fav player.😂😂
The wnba is not an investment, it is a charity.
If the WNBA demands more of the revenues the NBA should demand several rules changes of them to make the WNBA game more exciting. Lower the rims and change the dunk to three points. Widen the lane like in the rest of the world. Overtime games get played in three on three style. Change the three pointer to a four to increase scoring.
If I went to my employer to ask for a raise during a year that the company lost money I would get told "no". If I went to the media to complain about it I would get fired.
I didnt even know that the NBA pays for the WNBA lol. The NBA should cut ties with the WNBA and let them do as they wish. I bet it would fold in 2 years tops.
Mikhail Litvinov wow you’re generous. I’ll give it a month lol
Yeah if the NBA gave up it wouldn't go for another game that's a promise
The minute the torn up contract hit the floor is the exact moment the WNBA would fold. I’d rather watch the commercials that run during an NBA game than 1 sec of WNBA
Agreed
Na I'd give them only a year.
No way they can validate more loot with a straight face. Best bet is to play their games like a JV game right before Varsity/NBA game. That way they can pretend they should get a bigger split of NBA's $10B revenue.
Drop the rim height, reduce the minutes per game, reduce the number of games…..get loose on travels, pump up the scoring.
What's the argument here? NBA, WNBA. One is a sport, one is a joke. I love sports, I love jokes. Room for all.
Aangler Bears beats Battlestar Galactica
I don't like bad jokes :/
@@agustinserratos6906 good one
Dwight summed it up there perfectly.
I like jokes that don't beg to make 20 million a year.
Why did she throw the ball off the backboard like her teammate was going to dunk it?
😂😂😂😂
@@nattydonadelle3971 she was too inspired by NBA and she thought her teammate is Lebron
She was probably actually trying to make the shot! :)
Dude that's her jump shot! It's all about the fundamentals
Havent they had like only one dunk ever in a game. And wasn't the first one if there is more than one, just like within the last couple of years?
Good to hear lo
Deep down, I think we all want the WNBA to succeed. But reality is slowly setting in and it's sad :(
They have had 22 years to succeed. That is 20: years to long. I would be embarrassed as an nba player to say, I was part of the deal to give the WNBA $100 million over 20 years and we just decided that it was a mistake. The stupidity is immeasurable on the nba side.
NO we dont or care
Will the WNBA survive? That's for the FAN to decide...
Lone guy in the stands: Yay!
he's just there for the AC, though.
*dead*
gotta be an ego boost knowing that if you skip a game, the entire league will shut down
That's no man. That's Megan Rapinoe!
WNBA is the best! Women that look like men and play basketball like girls.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Exactly.
And are mostly lesbians.
Bruh. 😂
Hahahaha
I think the most shocking part of this whole video is finding out the WNBA has been around 20 years!! 😂😂😂
The NBA would be doing a better job donating those 10 million dollars to actual charities.
Who’s ever tried to watch a WNBA game? Let me tell you, I have. I’d rather watch golf for 3 hours because it has more excitement and skill than the WNBA. Watching the WNBA is so cringe worthy
Same here and I hate golf
I think you are watching basketball for the spectacular dunks. There is a hell of a lot skill in the WNBA. You'd be "cringe worthy" if you tried your skills against theirs.
stevenhs8821 Na they are not that skilled lol who tf wants to watch a layup contest . They trash asab . 😂
@@playforkeeps5545 so true
I'd love to watch you guys play one on one with these women. 😂 They'd eat you alive! The WNBA doesn't excite people, for the same reason watching an Ivy League school doesn't excite, it's more about fundamentals and fans have gone away from that. But to say they aren't talented is showing ignorance. Smh....
Simply, they are selling a product people don’t want in the US.
a little correction: nobody on earth!
Maybe it’s time to completely separate the NBA and WNBA. The WNBA is not providing a service that everyone else wants or needs. At least 99% of viewers, including women, don’t watch the WNBA. In Hollywood that’s called getting canceled.
NBA basically giving to a charity that gets more and more entitled and demanding.
