She already got a 5 million a year offer from big 3. Ice cube did an interview about it.
I'm curious now what Ice Cube was offering her to join his league
I thought it was more than she'd make in her career.
hey I caught this on ABC the same parent company of ESPN
I didn't say that anyone else didn't deserve more money.
Cue useful idiots saying she doesn't make enough money for... checks notes playing sports.
You know there are doctors who make less than her?
In fact, there are countless people who work harder than her for less while actually doing something useful to society.
It's not about how much she makes, it's about the disparity in pay between men and women doing the same thing. Her making $76k for playing sports wouldn't be a callout if LeBron (or whomever) were also making $76k.
They're not "doing the same" thing, though.
Playing in the WNBA is not the same as playing as in the NBA.
How many women sit down every weekend together to watch WNBA games the way the guys do though? How many fans do they have? How much merch do they sell? Seems like they want equal pay to the men but there's no equal demand
How much money is put in advertising NBA vs WNBA?
Women sports get shit coverage no matter what.
The reason there is so many ads everywhere is because it works.
Very few.
The women’s final four games were the most watched ESPN sporting events in history lol. At least look it up before you make inane comments
