The WNBA is financially dependent on the NBA for its existence. That's a well known FACT.

Were it not for the NBA's financial "assistance", the WNBA would not exist.

Also a well known fact.

WNBA players complain they don't make as much as the male players in the NBA, where the NBA fills every stadium, sells-out every game, has lucrative TV deals, and has players that get lucrative endorsement contracts.

Given the fact that the WNBA hasn't filled a single stadium UNTIL THIS YEAR when Caitlin Clark entered, exactly how is any WNBA player entitled to command the salary of an NBA player?

The WNBA's been around 10+ years. Any other business with their business model, and being dependent on someone else to financially prop them up would've been gone YEARS ago.

FACTS not in dispute.

The WNBA is effectively a subsidiary of the NBA.

It has lost roughly $320,000,000 in 27years which is slightly more than petty cash to the NBA.

The NBA does not fill every arena.

Companies routinely have loss leaders.

Toshiba lost money on every laptop that they ever manufactured over 30yrs and are still in business.

The NBA set up a trust fund with the WNBA as the beneficiary insuring it’s survival into infinity.

and are typically false like the rest of the Marxist idiocy.
