    If people don’t watch, then there’s fundamentally no money to be given to the players. If you want money to be given to the player, you need to watch.

    That’s how it works for women’s sports, and that’s how it works for men’s sports as well.

    Pay for all athletes is dictated by the viewership they bring in, not their performance. WNBA players actually make disproportionately more relative to viewership.

    You honestly talk like someone who’s never watched a sport in their life.

    tbf, Caitlin Clark is the only WNBA player that’s profitable, and she’s kinda limited salary wise by the fact that the women’s league in general is not profitable and heavily subsidised by the NBA.

    People will bitch about how the men’s league gets paid so much in comparison, then proceed to not watch the women’s league…

    If you want it to make money YOU need to support it 🫵

    You got banned from an internet forum for being obnoxious, probably by someone who just wants to keep toxicity off the platform.

    It’s not the end of the world, you’ll get through this. If it’s causing you that much distress then you should reflect on that and just try to move on.
