The WNBA's revenue of $70 million is what percent of the NBA's revenue of $10 billion?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

A whopping 0.7%!!

And how much of The profitability of that industry is owed to state sponsorship, tax breaks, and Monopoly exceptions?

Professional sports needs to learn how to pay its own bills before it can be used as an example of why women's sports aren't profitable.

Do you know the difference between revenue and profit?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you know the difference between subsidized and self sufficient?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

So no, you don't understand what revenue is.

This is the real reason why I think trans women should be able to play women's sports: Nobody really gives a fuck about women's sports.

Let's drop the state sponsorship of professional men's sports and sporting arenas down to the level that we give to the women's teams and see how those salaries look in a couple of years...

The wnba Is literally supported by the NBA, if you want to talk about subsidies

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

...and the NBA is supported by the taxpayer.

The entire business model of professional sports requires socializing the cost of infrastructure through subsidizing the transportation, location, and logistics and exempting every one of these monopoly wealth getting schemes from labor laws, antitrust, and public review.

The NBA, NFL, MLB, etc are a scam And they need to learn how to pay their own bills.

Except maybe women, but they don't really count as people, right?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is that... Nick Kroll and John Mulaney?
