As much as I want the WNBA to thrive, the female players need to keep in mind that basketball is a business. It’s very difficult for the WNBA to get close to being equal to the NBA when the women’s league isn’t generating the amount of revenue that is necessary simply to break even

As Bill Buhr said: "It's not my job to care about WNBA. I have men's sport to pay attention to. Not men, women failed the WNBA. None of you showed up."

My next child?? She expects us to wait another 25 years, then? FOR A DUNK?!? gtfo

Maybe during the off-season these women could go to business classes to understand why they're not getting paid as much? 😂

If WOMEN would support the WNBA.....the ladies would make more money 🤔 why wont WOMEN support them is the question 😮

WNBA: wE wAnT tO pLaY aT tHe sAmE lEveL aS tHE nBA Also WNBA: *uses smaller balls and shorter 3-point range*

if the women's volleyball net was as tall as the mens' nobody would watch it

i never paid attention to the WNBA, but with all these women saying all these crap, makes me HATE the WNBA

I love how none of these women admit to these facts: Our league draws less viewership on TV and in person. Our league is operating at a loss. Super convenient to lobby for more while simultaneously ignoring the underlining problem that contributes to the wages you are paid. #YouCantMakeThisShitUp

Crying about lowering the rim, yet they use a smaller ball.😂

There’s a simple solution to this problem….. WNBA get fans to actually go to the games….. than salaries will increase…. It’s not rocket science

instead of lowering the rim we could raise the floor

I played ball all my life. On 10ft rims, 9 1/2, 8. It takes like 3 shots to readjust. And I don’t miss more, I probably make more the lower it is. Excuses are easy, but reality is hard to see for these self entitled women of the WNBA.

I went to Bellagio Hotel in Vegas, They were giving out free tickets to Las Vegas Aces. I left my 2 tickets in my cupholder in my car and i checked in to the hotel. Next morning i went down to my car and i noticed someone broke my passenger side windows to get into my car! I was checking if i was missing anything... and I realized now i had 4 tickets to wnba game...

You don't get a dime with your jersey because they're already losing money for you to have a job in the first place.

I think bill burr said it best when he implied that there is a reason the Kardashians are multi-billionaires and pro female athletes are broke and the reason is that women don’t support female sports

It’s actually so funny, whenever someone suggests a possible solution that helps grow their game they are completely closed off to it, you gotta try something new to see progress right??

WNBA games are like watching 2 teams of DJ Khaled playing and Shaqting a fool highlights!

Why can’t they realize nobody really watches the WNBA. Why go to a game when it’s not even interesting on TV?

They're playing the same game as the men? Last I checked the women's ball is smaller than the men's. Last I checked the women's three-point line is closer than the men's. Why doesn't anyone ever talk about these facts?

Watching women’s basketball is like watching Men’s basketball, played underwater.

Instead of actually generating more fans and attention to gain money for their league they rather complain. .thats Women at its finest 😂

Women are physiologically 6” shorter than men. I understand their argument that they’ve played on 10’ hoops their whole lives, but a 9’6” hoop height goes well with their average height of players & size 6 basketball.

Nobody cares about watching missed layups

They are no star's in the WNBA 99% of the people couldn't name one player besides Clark.

Make money .. you get paid. LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN AMERICA!!

Stop taking a big chunk of money each year from the MENS NBA and then you can yap all you want, but when you need a 15 million dollar "donation" each year it means you aren't that popular

Mike as a sixers fan my heart is hurting🤦🏻‍♂️😂

LSU vs Iowa wasn't the national championship. it was South Carolina and they completely disrespected all those women by taking a historic season with no losses and brushing it to the side to glaze Caitlyn Clark

They don’t wanna lower the hoop, but they have a smaller ball than men do. What’s the difference ?

Kelsey Plum saying we want the same revenue share…. Then pay the league😂😂😂

Maaan!!! This really triggers me... NBA is carrying the WNBA finances, for years, because they believe in the growth and development of the business and that someday WNBA could be a sustainable league. Women are being proportionally being paid more than the man in therms of revenue. Man basketball players seem to be the only ones trying to find possible solutions to increase viewership and the WNBA athletes get offended by it. Like, they could just say no, thank you for trying to help but I don't think that's the solution, instead they get triggered like it's some kind of criticism, when they already have a smaller and lighter ball, a 3 point line closer to the hoop and 2 less minutes in each quarter. These got me wishing that the NBA stop babysitting the WNBA and invest that money in the All-Stars Weekend to rescue something that isn't ungrateful...

I've been to a wnba game once . Never went again .just wasn't for me . What doesn't make sense is woman don't even watch wnba .so there own gender doesn't even support them

Why they mad they already have a smaller ball 😂 just lower the rim

Bro was trying so hard through the entire video not to get cancelled 💀

It’s bc the wnba is not good. Some of those women have talent but it’s not entertaining. Let them juice if you wanna make it more interesting. You are being politically correct if you say it’s nba level quality. Now the women’s NCAA was interesting I’ll be fair

If they ask if I wanna play in a lower rim. Well hell yea I wanna play on a lower rim.

To lower the rim is the most man like response ever 🤦🏾‍♂️ we don’t put thought into what we say and when the rim is lower for them to dunk, we’ll be complaining about not seeing explosive dunks 😂

If the WNBA disappeared tomorrow, no one would notice or care, only the players.

Wat people have to understand is patience!!!! The wnba players is pocket watching everybody else right now... But at yr 20 of the NBA which was Polly in the 50 or 60s, those players wasn't making as much as the wnba players are making right now

3:30 I feel for her next child. She has to go against evolution of all things to make mommy's illusion a reality.

I tried to listen to u on that Jokic .5 points but I waited till Monday and they took it down. NEVER WAIT!

LMAOOOOOOOOOO naw this has to be a parody video or something im dead

When you bring in as much money as the nba does you can ask for equal pay but you dont you bring in 2%(200M)

What the hell is WNBA 😕😕

Ive seen these clips a bunch of times. But the irony of them getting so sassy abt lowering the rim when they play with a smaller ball right now is amazing 😂😂

What a great video ! Perfectly put ! 👍🏾👍🏾

So if they want the percentage of the revenue they would be playing for free 😂

The onus is always placed on men to fix this.

“you want us to lower the rims just so you can see me dunk on someone ?” Absolutely 🤣

Excellent take. I wish everyone could see this fairly described sensitive situation

20 views in 1 minute? Mike really has fallen off

NBA players are guaranteed 50% of the leagues income, the WNBA players receive 10%. Obviously, this sounds dumb at first but the nba brings in 10.58 billion dollars per season, compared to the 200 million the WNBA brings in. Although the WNBA should be given a higher percentage, but they need to start making at least a 10th of what the nba makes

Thx for giving me a smile every Saturday morning

It’s crazy they aren’t okay with lowering the rim smh when LITERALLY they already have a smaller basketball and a smaller three point line🙄🙄 but yet they act like they are equal and that it’s completely the same game with the nba and wnba smh

WNBA needs a superstar that can change the viewership like what Magic and Brid did then followed by MJ then LeBron and Steph where we can see role players from the WNBA can average 1 mil for vet minimims

they can be mad all they want.. I would rather watch grass grow than to watch the WNBA.. but I will be watching CC's games this year.. if they lower the rim to 9 1/2.. I'll watch women dunking on each other

Mike both intro songs have been fire for like forever. So glad you look to be feeling better

Most of these women hate the people that they want to support them.

It truly is a misconception... that WNBA generates revenue

They should look at the average height for women and then look at the average height for men. Just based off that, IT WOULD BE LOGICAL to lower the rim for women. See men understand this logic and it makes sense to have the rim a tad lower for women. We keep telling these chicks that it would help make it more exciting for women. Men are literally telling women we would be more interested if women could start dunking. Men are the ones that watch the wnba more than women do, so why not appease the fans? How is that un logical? 🤔

The WNBA should place blame on the lack of revenue on the fans who come to their games disguised as empty seats

You hit this out of the park. Nailed it!

Truth of the matter is, even if you lowered the rim to 9 feet, the majority of the league STILL couldn’t dunk. And the ones who couldn’t would be extremely salty about getting dunked on.

If women want wnba players to get paid more, they have to financially support/watch the wnba instead of just complaining about it

I think you covered this perfectly... you show the undeniable math, but you are optimistic about the future and you wish them well. I wish them well too, and its clear that the sport is improving and becoming more marketable. The WNBA hopefully has programs to assist its players in promoting both the league and its stars, so that they can make money outside of their salaries like Caitlin Clark has. Cameron Brink probably made some money with her New Balance deal as well, and neither player has logged in a minute for the WNBA. The names and likeness deal for the NCAA has definitely benefited the WNBA, because the players can market themselves before they are drafted. Hopefully that will lead to a positive snowball effect for both the WNBA and their players, and the economics will become better for both.

When I was in my 20 s I once played at a elementary school that had 9 foot rims. It was a blast.

who is here long enough to remember Mike saying PrizePicks ads will be for a month only?

Thank you, I’m a female that cheers for women in sports, I’m old but these opportunities were not even available to women in sports in the 70’s and early 80’s it’s progress.

well done bro!! the issue isn't skill it's the stories. better storylines get more interest. people love a good story. good characters. a bad guy and good guy. anti heroes. comebacks. they are skilled they just need better stories which now they are creating.

They complain about ppl not watching WNBA but won’t make the adjustment the fans are asking for, but they have no problem using a smaller basketball…

Love it Mike

Why in the hell do they think they deserve anywhere close to the % of Revenue the guys get? The entitlement is wild

The problem with the WNBA has always been that no one has been willing to tell them the truth. And the truth is their product is unwatchable, and their players are unlikable. Unwatchable: at just over 82 ppg, they score a whopping 32 ppg less than their male counterparts. That's trash as well as very boring. Unlikable: besides the constant complaining and lecturing male sports fans about how we have hidden hate for women because we don't want to watch a WNBA game, they also make stupid divisive political statements like Kneeling for the National Anthem and wearing "VOTE WARNOCK" T-shirts. IMO, an organization that has to be subsidized in order to remain solvent should not be making divisive political statements. The WNBA is going to get it's chance now with Caitlin Clark and others coming into the league. Let's see if they actually learn any lessons, or if they continue to be stubborn and defensive to criticism.

So it's not enough that these dudes pretending to be girls are playing against real girls but they are also complaining about the salary gap??

5:02 look at Windy trying to contain his jolly belly laugh

Majority of businesses close when they haven't made a profit for over 20 years.

who would have guessed that a league that has literally never turned a profit would have players that get paid less than the profitable league

The sheer hurt ego and ignorance of the old/current wnba guard is laughable and the main reason why I don^t care at all for them. 0. Now Caitlin Clark seems to capable, grounded to reality and driven by sports not ego. I wanna see more of her. But the rest, needs to take several steps back.

Reruns of sponge bob square paints draws more views than this league .

The problem with comparing the wnba with the 70s era is that in 1970 (the 25th season) the nba was able to have an avg player salary of 90k in 70s money so it was still bringing in enough money to pay its players unlike the wnba

Someone should lower it without them knowing. Also was the question asked to Clark what she makes off endorsements? Crying on pay when they are banking on endorsements. While working less on the court vs the NBA

It's not like the WNBA plays with the official size NBA basketball. I think it's a good idea to lower the basketball rim 🏀.

Better practice format be determine to improve stand in front of the hoop to make the outside easier do drills for steals and blocks so we can see more fastbreak plays😊

Thjs is so amazingly ridiculous that it really obliterates any hope and good feeling of humanity even coming close to beging to turn it wicked ways onto a more logical sense of reality that allows for real fairness and justice.

Being mad because people don’t want to watch your game is an elite level of entitlement…

They’re completely clueless to the fact that they are in the entertainment business. It’s really not about how good they are at a game. If you want fans and dollars you’ve got to provide a product that we want to spend our hard earned dollars on, and that means you need to entertain us or we will spend elsewhere.

I don't understand why they want to compete with men so much like we're not equal 😂

They already have a different a 3-point line, different balls, shorter quarters but a lower rim is crossing the line and disrespectful?? Lol what 😅 These women need a reality check and to understand that in order to be paid more they need to appeal to more people and therefore generate more revenue. They’re solely dependent on NBA’s money but sure a lower rim is “disrespectful” 🙄

I agree lowering the rim would cause them to have to alter their game, but the NBA has moved the 3-point line multiple times. It's not like we're asking them to wear less clothes to sell tickets. You're not playing to dunk, you're playing to entertain and that entertainment is where the value and your salary is as a player. You already use a smaller ball...lower the rim.

Now I gotta be like Love and Basketball was a cliffhanger. Omar Epps better stop fucking around and get back in shape.

Ms. Clarks’ Gifts and demeanor brought me back to this sport. I was raised in the outskirts of Los Angeles watching the clash of Titans Bird and MJ, then the Jordan era.. since then it was mediocre. I would tune in and watch Kobe and early Lebron , but only the highlights or last game clips at the finals. Then I stumbled upon a highlight reel of a pretty and humble brunette in a Hawkeye jersey, passing like MJ, assisting like Bird and draining shots from the parking lot like Curry on his best night. I thanked almighty God that moment for the gift he gave us ,of the splendor of hardwork and a dream in Caitlin Clark. There is hope in basketball and I am blessed to be alive to see it. Go Fever!! 🤒🙏🥰 Hawai’i is Watching.

Theres no pay disparities!! Bring in the revenue and sell merchandise, and then you will be able to pay more!! Stop this insanity!

As a short male, if someone came to me and said hey we have a short guy league where we lower the rim a bit so yall can dunk...I know me and a MILLION other men would IMMEDIATELY say yes with zero hesitation hahaha. We would be like "yup, we clearly are NOT equal to the taller guys, thank you very much for opening an avenue for us to also have a more entertaining and overall more FUN time, this is GREAT" like wtf haha. I'm all for womens equality but come on, that would literally help in every single way all the way around, for players AND viewers.

Also, simple business concept: you're paid what you are worth to the company. I work in the hospital as an RN. I get paid less than an attending physician because an attending's scope of practice, education and experience are more valuable to the hospital than my experience/education/scope as an RN. I get paid more than an LNA because my experience/education/scope are more valuable than theirs. It's not saying that any of us are more or less important or better/worse. It's simply saying that, from a business standpoint, an attending physician will generate more revenue for the hospital than an RN or an LNA. I mean, patients travel across the world to see a particularly skilled doctor. I've never heard of anyone traveling around the world for a great nurse. So the attending gets paid more. Same thing for the WNBA players. Far more fans will pay $400+ to see Steph Curry play than they will to see Candace Parker. Far more people will tune in to TV to watch that game. Far more people will buy GSW swag than whatever team Parker played for. It doesn't mean that women are better/worse...it means that they are less valuable because they have much less ability to generate revenue. Therefore, they get paid less. Welcome to capitalism. Definitely not a perfect system, but definitely better than anything else I've dealt with.

"The more eyes we can get on this league, the better the world would be" WTF?

lol this should have never been a discussion.

In the 1970s only 7 teams in the NBA were profitable but teams paid as much as 63 percent of revenue to the players without often without any subsidization. The WNBA gets subsidized by the NBA and aren’t hurting for cash but they only pay 10 percent of revenue to they’re players. The math ain’t mathin 🤔

I live near DC and I go to a lot of Wizards games. My girlfriend who played basketball in High School moved in with me recently and wants to go to a WNBA game. We have checked tickets and right now the cheapest WNBA game is over 3x what we typically pay for Wizards games. They have moved the Mystics vs Fever game to the Capital One Arena and yet I guarantee tickets are still going to be more expensive than Lakers @ Wizards for the cheapest tickets
