It's ridiculous how these entitled WNBA players are demanding higher pay when their league has never been profitable and lost $40 million. The WNBA is a garbage league that's bent on self-destruction, and the NBA is keeping it afloat. The NBA needs to stop subsidizing the WNBA and let it fold. I watch NFL, NBA, and MLB games, but I don't watch WNBA games.
Similarly, a group of 8 women filed an appeal of the House v. NCAA settlement on 6/9/25. The group argues that the calculation to distribute the $2.8 billion in damages violates Title IX because female athletes would theoretically receive less money than football and men's basketball players in damage payments and revenue-sharing. Attorney Ashlyn Hare estimated it "deprives female athletes of $1.1 billion." In a statement to
FOS, Hare said: "Paying out the money as proposed would be a massive error that would cause irreparable harm to women's sports."
Female Athletes Appeal House v. NCAA Settlement Approval It's a ridiculous lawsuit because the football and men's basketball teams generate the vast majority of the revenue that support the rest of the athletic department. Female professional and college athletes want higher pay, but they don't generate nearly as much revenue as their male counterparts.
