Seems that Angel Reese is leading the charge demanding that WNBA players get paid like the NBA players do. Hilarious. The WNBA is subsidized by the NBA. It loses money every year and would have been dissolved immediately if not for the men’s league paying their huge annual losses.

The WNBA has been non-profitable every year of their existence. I'm not taking anything away from them and I hope it does well for the fans but to complain about the disparity in pay is just ridiculous.

If there was more demand for the product then there would be more revenue streams and then there would be more available for salary increases. I kind of equate the WNBA to A League Baseball. And the pay is much much better than A Leaguers.

I saw another player come out and say she’s happy making what she’s making ($75k per season).
