NBA players get about 1/2 the league profits.

By that formula, the WNBA players should each Venmo their league $320,512 for their losses.

You know what I hate is when crossword puzzles use WNBA players for clues. Like you’re trying to solve a puzzle and the clue is like Basketball Legend Thomas and you spend like 10 minutes trying to figure out why ISAIAH doesn’t work with the other letters until finally in frustration you google it and find out there’s some WNBA “star” you’ve never heard of also with the surname Thomas. Not cool, crossword puzzle designer.

Stephen Colbert and the WNBA are both losing $40 million/yr but he's the only one getting tossed out the door?

Shouldn't they both try a new career better suited to their common skillset?

Managers of the EV division at Ford?

Running the DNC?

They are the literal definition Welfare Queens. Karl Marx would be pleased

This entire topic is exhausting. The league loses money because the product is awful, plain & simple. These 'women' (yecccch!) should thank their lucky stars they're being paid to play a game that they stink at and nobody cares about. Good grief..

Zero. That is the number of games I have watched. Zero.

The WNBC is a charity, that’s perfect. It’s like the homeless at the shelter demanding payouts from charitable contributions.

And if it was not for Caitlyn Clark - the financial picture would be even worse off.

Well this corporate worker also feels due for a raise. I was trying to work out what to do about it until I saw these WNBA players. If I can find out where to buy one of those shirts I’ll start wearing it on my Teams calls at work . (don’t worry Chris I’ll make sure I renew first just in case my employer is not amused 😉)
