Don’t know, don’t care. The American salary is enough.

Average WNBA salary $120k

Better than flipping burgers.

Or could it be there isn’t that much of a market for WNBA basketball and without a TV contract would not really exist. You see you can’t pay the women NBA type salaries when no one really supports the WNBA. So you make what you make and be happy with it.

No one forced her to go play Russian Ball, she could have gotten on with a European League maybe or gone to Japan or South America. She isn’t very smart is she and why didn’t;t her wife go with her on the trip?

She she made the decisions and the consequences are hers. The joke is trading the Russian Arms Dealer for her, but then we do get back the former Marine in prison, but no one evens cares about him, Biden sure doesn’t. Now if he were Gay, well a different story.

Hey Bite-me, why stop there. Hell, offer Alaska to Russia while you’re at it. It would be. Two-Fer, get a liberal America hating feminist AND get rid of the pesky should we drill in Alaska at the same time.

The WNBA is already on NBA welfare.

Welfare recipients think somebody else owes them a living.

And it isn't just a matter of size or height like some might claim. Muggsy Bogues had a good NBA career and was only 5'3. Spud Webb was only five foot seven. They're Hall of Fame male players who are shorter than a lot of women playing in the WNBA. Isaiah Thomas, Allen Iverson, etc..

Heck, Steph Curry is a multiple NBA champion, routinely made all NBA teams, and may be the best shooter in League history. And he's only 6'2" tall.

I don’t make anywhere near the salary an NBA star makes. But I don’t smuggle drugs into Russia.

The Little Sisters of the NBA wouldn’t have jobs at all without subsidies.

NBA puts arses in seats which equates to money.
WNBA hardly gets any arses in seats which equates to no money.

Not hard to figure out here dimwits at MSNBC.....

I have never in my 72 years watched an NBA game. For what? Watching tall people get paid lots of money to run back and forth? What have I missed? Is that entertainment?

Give me a college basketball or football game any day.

Let’s see if the lesbians et al. are worth equal pay.

So much for the rule of law. Putin must be laughing at Joe Biden.

Some Americans are “more equal” than other Americans.

MSNBC, why not tell the WNBA that you’ll show the games for $12 Trillion? I’m a women’s basketball fan of UCONN. If you won’t air the games, you are a hypocrite. Are you?

They should reduce NBA player’s pay to that of the WNBA to make things more “fair.”
