One of my clients bought a professional sports franchise a few years ago. They literally made him take ownership of that city's WNBA team as well in order to approve the purchase of the "real" team he was buying.

His first encounter with the WNBA team is an entirely different story that opened his eyes to the culture of that league. He said those women acted 5x more entitled than his other team's players who are on one of the most storied and accomplished franchises in sports history.

---

Trying to figure this one out. The only NBA sales from a couple years ago are the Suns, Bucks, and Mavs and none of them would be considered storied and accomplished. The Celtics and Lakers sold this year and definitely fit that bill but weren't sold years ago.

---

The LA wnba team has the same ownership group as the Dodgers. That transaction was ~10 years ago. Also, the NY wnba team has the same owners as the nets which would be my other guess.

---

yeah I figured this wouldn't have been to hard to narrow down….

---

Dodgers seems most likely, but that was 13 years ago, which I don't think anyone would consider "a few years ago" , and Nets don't qualify as storied/accomplished. Maybe it's an NHL team.

---

The Phoenix Suns and Mercury were a package deal in 2023. That's likely who it is.

Threw us off because the Suns aren't considered a storied franchise by anyone, frankly. They had a great run many years ago.

Not true... they know 3:

One who is likeable and talented.
One who is unlikeable and not talented and is only known because she despises the one that is talented.
And the last one is known because she has inserted herself between the two.

The lesbians in the WNBA have squandered the opportunity to grow their viewership and revenue, because they don't want a hetero in the league.

But that has always been the problem with the WNBA.

I'll watch certain woman's college volleyball games…with pleasure

I could probably identify 2 of the 3 you mentioned.

No clue who the third is, and I have been half paying attention.

They are not growing because the product is terrible and men won't watch it.

From my casual observance one of the biggest drivers of fan interest in a league is from gambling and fantasy leagues. I just don't see this happening with WNBA.

I like the attractive girl who protects the white girl who's hated by the black girl.

I demand that Caitlin Clark be paid as much as Lebron James and Steph Curry.

If not, I think we should all boycott NBA until this sexism stops.

Most women I know don't care about pro sports.
My wife doesn't GAF. My daughter plays HS tennis but does not follow pro.

My son knows all the stats of all the players of NBA and ATP Tennis. He can tell you who won what and when. Rankings.

I used be the same way with 80s tennis with Connors, McEnroe and Lendl.

The Lebron Mask. Where do I get one?

They should go ahead and strike if they don't think they're being treated fairly. Seriously. Walk off the court until you get what you want. We'll all wait with you.

Given their propensity to lose money, if I were an owner I would respond with please do. Take all the time you need.

Just a bunch of ungrateful spoiled females (??). If it wasn't for the NBA there would be no wnba.

Isn't this a reflection of life itself?

These females demand (on Linkedin) to be given a "seat on the table" and be "allowed in the boardroom". But why don't they create companies themselves? It is a free country, no one prevents you from driving or opening businesses. Why depend on companies that men created to hire them?

Reality: Most women want everything handed to them on a platter.


To the few women who created mega businesses (not the Liz Holmes variety), you deserve all the praise.

They needed to have a meeting over this and then call out Caitlin Clark for not taking the time to show up for it? Clown world.

Kelsey Plum made sure to point out Caitlin Clark and her team didn’t show up to the meeting when it was decided they would wear the “Pay Us What You Owe Us” shirts:

“Not to tattletale but ZERO members of Team Clark were very present” 👀

Did they invite her?

She's the only one worth more than her salary as it is. If she doesn't play, they already paltry number are terrible.

deleted because i didnt want to go around the lang filter, but there is an entire i think you should leave sketch about this.

If WNBA players were paid what they are actually owed, they would need to pay back $256k each to the owners for the lost money their salaries cost. https://t.co/5ADBGGqboq

If they arent wearing dumb shirts or yanking ponytails, nobody ever notices them.

Seriously, if it werent for these shirts how many people would have known they were playing an all-star game? 50,000?

The WNBA is funny in that while trying to break female stereotypes, as it got popular, they have gone all-in on reinforcing every single one of them

---

Hold the phone, it got popular????

Lord... today's women are so annoying.

Very delusional, very entitled. They think the world owes them stuff just because they are women.

Oddly enough, the best male players would have a much better argument to be "paid what they are worth", given that their $55-65M/year salaries are not higher only because it is the maximum allowed under their CBA. In a purely free market, they would be making even more.

League has never been profitable, losing an estimated $10MM annually.

It should just be point and laugh with these clowns, at this point.

---

This demand represents an encapsulation of the "woke" mindset -- that whatever fantasy dreamed by a butterfly on the socially-conscious airstream DESERVES to find it's reality and that's all there is to it. That all good works have to be paid for by somebody is a construct of the haters, because nothing beautiful really has to be paid for. That's the joy of Socialism. When these obstructive fools can be finally got out of the way . . . what a loving world it will be.

Don't worry, there are plenty of billionaires to pay for it. If they complain they can be, you know, lined up.

Stephen Colbert was reportedly losing CBS $40 million a year. The WNBA takes a whole league to lose that much.

— Larry Elder (@larryelder) July 19, 2025

Colbert found out that his worth to CBS was not, in fact, unlimited. The players are about to learn the same lesson.

Colbert thought he was a tenured professor who was untouchable.

The 'deadest-on' comment I can remember.

Would be the most woman thing ever to strike over this

These lesbo's are killing the goose that layed the golden egg. Hmmmm.. where have I seen this before?

If corporations or networks complain if they go on strike, then the networks and corporations need to foot the financial gap. Don't put it on the owners who are losing money.

"Pay us what you owe us"

I don't think the players will ever be able to come up with the money they would owe the league in this case.

---

It isn't that the real solution? Make it a pay to play league, and they can purchase their own TV time with their dues. No advertising needed, so games would go much faster and take up less quality air time for sports people really want to watch.

Like bowling.

I don't mean to be argumentative, just making conversation. It is free market in the sense that they are free to go play for another league, or start their own league if they don't like the agreement. I understand your point that with no caps, owners would try to spend their way to a championship. Since it is essentially the owner's business, they have the right to cap, and the players have the right to not sign.

Isn't there a mathematical way to see how much each player is "worth"?
I would love to see how much each player brings to the table in terms of revenue and compare that to what they get paid in the form of a ratio.

So if Lebron brings in 100M by himself and he gets paid 60M then his ratio is 60%.
Compare the male players to the female players. I am all for paying female players the same ratios.

But no, the woke simp agencies know the answer so they will not dare to do it and be called out as sexist.

Men almost never do this.
We are taught right from our boyhood to know our worth and only play in our league. We know that we we punch beyond our weight class, we will our teeth bashed in and no one sympathizes.

Women never have to face this because the world caters to their every whim these days. Hence the demands get more and more ridiculous.

And that's why espn shouldn't complain. Bottom line is that it's a money pit. Basic economics. Supply and demand. There is a supply but no supporting demand.
