Since you bigots don't want to discuss the WNBA draft

Hope she got about a 30% discount on that rag cause she looks to be missing about 30% of it. Helen, where you at?
Edit: I just saw where Rickea Jackson was taken 4th

Saw a tweet that said something like 'wars have been fought over legs like those'.
I doubt it
Definitely not the face that launched a thousand ships.
Almost no WNBA players like the D
Did you see how much the top four picks are getting? I don’t think any of those teams are overpaying. I knew the WNBA players didn’t make anything close to the men, but I have to admit I was shocked to see those numbers. 4 years, $336k (maybe $338k, I don’t remember). Yikes.
The entire WNBA generates barely more than half the revenue as Mississippi States athletic dept. There’s a reason their players have been playing in godforsaken shitholes like Russia in the off-season.
Does the NBA still subsidize the WNBA? I don't think they have a team that actually makes a Net Profit.
Just one Devil's opinion, I hate the whole if they are not getting paid as much as the men then something is wrong. Or something is discriminatory because of the gender. When it really is just simple good ole capitalism. Sell more tickets and get more eyeballs on the product then they are paid more, simple. As cool as Caitlin Clark might have been who among us is going to be watching or buying tickets for the Indiana Fever? I have never watched a entire WNBA game, and not because of some hateful reason. Simply because I find it boring. I wish Caitlin and her fellow players well but they are lucky to be getting paid what they are based on ticket sales and number of eyeballs on screen.
What bothers me more is the people complaining almost never are doing anything about it. You don't see any of the half dozen WNBA fans getting on tv and complaining about pay, and they are at least going to games and watching them. The vast majority of the ones complaining couldn't name 10 WNBA players and haven't watched a single game in person or tv. If all the people bitching about it supported the WNBA, they'd be able to pay something close to what the men make.
I'm not a financial biologist, but I bet the majority of their money comes from shoe brands and such. I was floored the other day when I took my kid to buy new kicks and saw all the chick signature series shoes. You could get Air Tan Whites or something like that.
I never thought I would legitimately bring this up, but the commissioner's elbows are very pointy... It looks dislocated.
I would pay top dollar for a pair of OnChloe's.**
What's funny is that the WNBA pays it's players a HIGHER percentage of revenue than the NBA pays it's players. Those clowns advocating that the WNBA should pay an equal revenue percentage as the NBA are actually saying the WNBA should CUT their player's pay.
It’s from sponsorships, but they also supplement playing in China, the Middle East, and Europe. It used to be Russia, but since the Ukraine invasion and Brittney Griner’s detention, that pretty much dried up.
What store did you go to and how many signature shoes did you actually see?
Stewart has a shoe with Puma that is in a Dick's store near us, but not the massive sports store and I havent seen it at smaller stores.
Delle Donne has a shoe with Nike that I have never seen in a store, not even back when it was introduced, and it isnt even for sale on Nike's site.
Ionescu has a shoe with Nike that is extremely well reviewed and is highly available in person and online.
So out of 3 players with signature shoes, 1 is readily available and well reviewed, 1 is mostly available and well reviewed, and 1 really doesnt even exist. Am I missing some?
I am sorry to hear you were subjected to so many WNBA signature shoes.**
Isn’t Delle Donne a porn star? Oh sorry that was Belladonna
Never heard of any of these players. Which probably explains why WNBA salaries are so low.
Lets all remember that SPS has a collective average BMI well north of 30, but Brink is criticized here.
If you havent heard of Breanna Stewart or Sabrina Ionescu, you simply dont pay attention to sports outside of your very narrow interests. And thats cool, to be clear.
Both of those women played against MSU in the NCAAT, for what its worth and have been discussed on here multiple times.
What if you only heard of one of them and remembered the other? Does that still make you a bigot?
Guess I skimmed over Ionescu’s name. I definitely remember her.
I was just kidding, but I remember her too. The WNBA just doesn't translate to a lot of viewership right now. I don't know that it will.
I remember her from college. But have no idea what WNBA team she plays for. I strongly suspect I’m not alone there. Women’s college basketball is a bigger deal than WNBA is.
