I just don't feel that's fair at all basically. I tried hard to catch WNBA games, and missed MANY games because they weren't promoted, and IF YOU HAVE TIVO, the WNBA score isn't even in the SCOREGUIDE, and they have FREAKING NASCAR AND GOLF in there! But not the WNBA? That's just disrespectful.
AND I'M NOT EQUATING THE 12th PLAYER ON WNBA AND NBA ROSTERS! I'M EQUATING A WNBA SUPERSTAR to the LAST GUY on an NBA ROSTER!
Oh, and really? Supporting the WNBA makes me a feminist!? These girls are good, but they get nothing but disrespect and jokes all the time. I don't think that's right, so I'll say that.
And what I meant by "a culture of men who just hate women", was that men don't respect women anymore, and call them b**** all the time and will never be honest in relationships. Of course it's the same with some women too, but lately there's just been a general gross disrespect towards women.
@oO0randomzach0Oo These girls are good, but they get nothing but disrespect and jokes all the time. I don't think that's right, so I'll say that.
So, am I suppose to feel sorry for these ladies cause they don't fit the standard? This is about demand, and people demand to see the exceptional perform rather it be sexual, intellectual, physical or mental.
@revemupman True statements....people would rather see men play sports, including me, though I do feel that WNBA players are slightly underpaid. Especially with there being only 12 teams. What I'm saying though, is that this year there was the LEAST advertising for women's sports. I saw little to no coverage. If you have tivo, no WNBA scores on the sports guide, and they even had NASCAR!! People aren't watching because women in sports are talked down upon and not advertised at all.
@oO0randomzach0Oo "People aren't watching because women in sports are talked down upon and not advertised at all".
When the WNBA started it generated quite the publicity with advertisements, commercials, and all the shabang. But what you don't understand is companies can only endorse you for so long before they cut their losses. WNBA does not generate a fan base. The Sparks games here in LA only go for about 10 bucks. Only field trips and lesbo's watch those games. Money talks, politics don't.
It's a crime that the average WNBA player gets only $50,000 a year. Even Lisa Leslie only got $99,000 a year. NBA bench players get around $864,000 just for being available in case someone who actually plays gets injured, and team practices. You can't comfortably retire after being in the WNBA. If you run out of money after the NBA today, you're a complete idiot, but you can't even splurge a little with this money....dang...
@oO0randomzach0Oo it's cause barely anyone watches the WNBA and thats why they get less sponsors, and the teams dont get alot of money. thats why they pay less. =)
The WNBA players tend to get their periods, so that takes a few weeks out of the season. Also they are women, should have no rights, so they shouldnt get any money period. atleast nba players are men, not cock sucking thunder cunts. Also most are nappy headed hoes. fuck you sir, your a dumb fuckin faggot. no one gives a shit about women sports.
@SillyPutty30 Why do you hate women so much?? Why is there a culture of men who just hate women? It sucks that people who are born a certain gender or race are automatically hated by a bunch of idiots. It's not fair, that's why I support the WNBA and will go to a game. Your strong hate for women might lead me to suggest you are an actual faggot though, "sir".
@revemupman How am I feminist, and how am I scum? You'd rather reply to me supporting women than SillyPutty30 horribly degrading them?? I'm not close to a feminist, but I do care about any type of injustice. Whether it's women destroying men through child support, and being violent towards men when men can't really do a thing about it, or men degrading women. You obviously hate women if you have a problem with anything I've said, and not Sillyputty's comments though.
@oO0randomzach0Oo Well when I view comments like why is there a culture of men who hate women I tend to label such statements as mysandric garbo. And women are legally open and encouraged to degrade men. So please excuse me if I don't care if women receive their EQUAL dose of bashing.
@revemupman Yes, women are encouraged to degrade men, like on Dr. Phil. It makes me sick when they have a topic about men and women (mostly against the men) and they have an ALL FEMALE audience, Dr. Phil siding with women, and old man on the men's side who wrote a book but could care less really because he's too old to, and a comedian to make the man look like an idiot. Every discussion's like that. Men are bashed, just like women. But both should learn to show respect to the ones doing good.
@SillyPutty30 Indian?? Anyway, yes I went to a WNBA playoff game, and it was the second best game of any sports event I've ever been to....see you in another month douchebag.
@oO0randomzach0Oo Its not a crime that women only get paid 99,000 a year, women just don't fit the standard. Men are way more entertaining on the court and when it comes down to it. People give their money to the most entertaining events. And women are not the standard, its the cold hard truth. But you don't want to realize this. Look at male strip clubs, less in demand and less in business. Women strippers tend to generate more money in this field. This is not a crime this is capitalism.
@oO0randomzach0Oo Why is it a crime? It's about popularity. If nobody watches, there are no endorsements and advertising dollars. Therefore it's unfair to equate the 12th man on an NBA bench to the 12th player on a WNBA teams bench. Along with low ticket prices and unattractive markets, the WNBA suffers from an identity crisis. The shame is, when they were within their first 5 years of existence, I was a huge fan of the Houston Comets (along with my brother, Sheryl Swoops and Tina Thompson.
@jerni2786 WNBA basketball is at the height of it's talent right now. Almost like the 1990s NBA era. But no one is promoting it. When they were promoting the WNBA when it started, they were more popular, but right now they just strictly promote NBA because they can make more money. They can make money with WNBA if they wanted, but they WILL make MORE money promoting NBA of course. But even during the NBA offseason last year, and when the WNBA was playing, I saw WAY more offseason NBA coverage.
I just don't feel that's fair at all basically. I tried hard to catch WNBA games, and missed MANY games because they weren't promoted, and IF YOU HAVE TIVO, the WNBA score isn't even in the SCOREGUIDE, and they have FREAKING NASCAR AND GOLF in there! But not the WNBA? That's just disrespectful.

Lisa Leslie $99,000.
15th man on NBA roster $900,000 +/-
