So what is your plan to close that wage gap? You recognize that money exists and is important (otherwise you wouldn't be angry over disparity in money) so how do we get the appropriate amount of money to these women.
The WNBA makes less than $100 million in revenue. The NBA makes over $10 billion. It's bringing in less than 1% of the revenue of the NBA. Do we take money from the players in the NBA to subsidize players in the WNBA?
Would it be fair to the players in the NBA that people are paying a lot of money to go see? Like if I spend $500 to see LeBron James play, then $250 of it goes to pay someone I didn't even see play... is that fair?
If another league starts up that doesn't take away players salaries, don't you think all the best players would go to that league? Then both the NBA and WNBA don't exist anymore.
You're throwing out a lot of rage but no real solutions. There probably isn't one. People pay more money to see the top players. The top players are men. It's unfair, but at the end of the day, it's just sports. It's nothing to get upset over.
No plans only rant
