There IS revenue, actually. Every dollar the WNBA takes in is revenue. What there ISN'T in the WNBA is profit. All businesses have some sort of revenue, but all that really matters is the bottom line, which is what's left over when you subtract expenses from revenue. The NBA generates so much money it can guarantee its players a huge precentage of the pie and teams still make an enormous profit. After operating expenses are subtracted the WNBA loses on average about $10 to12 million every single year. Any other business in America would have shut down long ago, yet the WNBA survives because of the welfare handouts it receives from the NBA. Bottom line: You're right, these women are not only poor entertainers, the're woefully uneducated when it comes to basic economics, despite the fact all of them came from college campuses. It's pure ignorance for someone like Kelsey Plum to suggest WNBA players should get the same percentage of revenue as NBA players. For that to happen NBA owners would have to light even more of their money on fire, which is basically what they're doing with the money they give the WNBA.

That is welfare. Plain and simple. That's not how business works in this country. They are truly lucky that the WNBA is still in existence. It shouldn't be and wouldn't be without the welfare of the NBA.

So at the end of the day, the owners need to just make some rule changes and adjustments, so that the league becomes more exciting.

Yup, usual suspects

I think a lot of people forget when the NBA banned dunking at one point for “whatever reason”. They adopted it back when they noticed the consumer wanted that and watched the SMALLER league (the ABA). They brought that aspect back because they noticed the people wanted excitement. They wanted to be entertained. Of course most men would watch women dunk on one another, but I think it’s a metaphor. The game is not always entertaining, it’s bad enough that the athleticism isn’t really on par with what you get in men’s sports that’s why people always talk about women dunking. But you just need to figure out what the excitement factor is and bring that in. It ain’t just “give us more money” without changing the game.

Enabling the dunk in the WNBA would give it something exclusive that college doesn’t have. Because as it stands, women ls college gets way more viewership and has the fan following. Even before CC.

I think the real question is why there is more viewership for women's college basketball vs. the wnba? Until the WNBA takes an honest look at themselves and make logic adjustments to the game that will generate more viewership. As much as we want to just lowering the rims it will be difficult to do. But we can look at ways to open up the offense that will help generate more points. Move in the 3 pt line, loosing the ball handling even more. I believe making changes like that plus promoting the right women will help grow the game.

Identifying us as females instead of women. What??..he doesn't dunk.. what? Good content bruh

If you pay attention to all the analysts that cover sports men and women, you will see that constructive criticism is not allowed into women's sports.

WNBA players are never seen clamouring for women to watch or attend, whereas men’s hoops rarely, if ever, advertises to girls. They focus on making boys want to play/watch/follow/etc, it’s odd an all-female league would not target females more intensely. Tbh, it’s not odd, it’s as if they know men predominantly watch sports, but rather than appeal to the only viewers they have, the players wish to subjugate fans to whatever lacklustre product they put out there.

Some of these women need to be humble like most of the men in NBA. That’s their biggest issue that’s why women UFC fighters are more well rounded they’re at least humble even when talking game. Crazy…

Spot-on. Her attitude would be like a chef refusing to serve pizza bc he doesn’t like pizza so he only wants to serve burgers. The customer is telling you what they want and what they’re willing to spend money on, yet they refuse to change. Eventually they go eat somewhere else.

Take one for the league. If you have to adjust, in order to make the game more exciting, then that's what you have to do. Old white NBA players weren't dunking, in the 40's, before they brought in Black players. Now, the game is much more exciting, because you have a diverse way of scoring. The NFL used to be a run first game. Now, it's a passing league. They also moved the field goal back. This made it harder to score and developed the kicker to be more skilled, not to mention that the Quarterback had more area to throw inside the endzone. Point is, the NFL adjusted to make the game better. Plus, kids growing up will get used to or know no difference in the basketball goal's height. Otherwise, keep having a minimum fanbase.

You don't have to watch our game...then begs people to watch the games. Classic.

I think they were afraid because they lost Miko. Losing two women on a show in one year can have major impacts on reputation. But you’re absolutely right.

A dog food company spent millions on advertising to get people to buy the dog food. They bought it once because the dogs didnt eat the dog food. Doesnt matter how much you promote something if the consumer doesnt like the product.

Imagine working for a company that loses 10 million a year and expecting to get equal pay any other company wouldn’t be in business that’s reality the NBA pays for the league

For there league being in debt for over 20 years an never making any profit in its entire existence im shocked that they are even getting paid anything....

Great points and much respect to the WNBA. I don’t understand why the Mens Game, the NBA is the mark? The games are completely different because the talent is completely different. Most “fans” are watching a game with a talent level that derives from human genetics that only men have. I believe that women’s sports overall is entertaining yet you have to have perspective. Keep pushing the game forward!

Rev is sales but not profit. The WNBA has lower rev and lower profits. In fact at the current revenue share there are no profits. The NBA that you don’t want to listen to is paying your salary. Or closing the gap instead of bankruptcy.

It will never be as exciting as men's basketball. Even lowering the rim isnt going to help. The only exciting Women's basketball Ive ever seen was the 3 vs 3 Olympics games That had me on the edge of my seat. It's fast paced and takes a different skill set. That's what the WNBA should be

@@IamGoldenboi I feel that, but I think thats the problem. They need a completely different approach to gain fans. Like this WNBA draft was the highest watched of all time, and the women were stunning. Especially Angel Reese and Cameron Brink wearing those dresses. If they're smart, they'll make that a big event like a fashion show and have everyone tuned in every year. Just simple things they need to do differently.

@NastyKnox - You know what? That’s not a bad idea when I think about it. Before today I might’ve rejected it because I believe that the sport should carry itself without the need of additional factors but if the league is failing this badly, why reject a good idea? Women dominate the fashion market and having the players wear high fashion and do shows between seasons would keep female attention on them.

If the league is losing money and being subsidized by the NBA there isn’t any revenue ( profit) to share ! The WNBA needs to make money before they consider sharing any

Those wnba players do not understand the entertainment industry 😅 if you don't know why you should dunk , you just don't understand entertainment. Entitlement is the issue clearly. They want everything, but they just don't want to do anything to get better.

Here's the best statements I can say. NBA revenue approximately 10 Billion. WNBA approximately 60 Million. To give a perspective on the difference between a million and a billion, here's this: A million seconds is 12 days. A billion seconds is 31 years.

And to think, there are people out there think lowering the rim is a bad idea.

The play of the league is sloppy as compared to the college game . Yes the players are more gifted in the WNBA but they play with reckless abandon with sloppy rushed passes, air balls , sloppy defense, and undisciplined play . It’s not pretty to watch when you have a lot of running around but nothing getting done .

The biggest problem with the "more excitement" argument is you sacrifice good fundamental basketball and great techinical development for the "athletic talent" topic which does increase more viewers, but this is exactl what is hurting the NBA players in INTERNATIONAL competition. The USA women will always destroy their international opponents but the NBA men seem to be struggling a bit against the horrificly talent-less European teams that focus ENTIRELY on the fundamentals. The NBA men should be decimating their international opponents but they can't shoot worth a lick, yet they continually jack up horrible three pointers when their game is dribble penetration and attacking the basket, mastery of the mid-range game, smothering defense, and low-post dominance. But because they are so overwhelmingly athleticly talented, they have developed terrible habits on the court and have seem to have forgotten all about sound fundamental basketball, ESPECIALLY DEFENSIVELY!!! The women however have MASTERED the fundamentals especially in international play. The only issue the women have is they miss far too many layups which if they converted, it would help make the game a lot easier. The women's game will eventually pick up and produce good revenue. The men just don't support the women's game enough and that is a shame. The men's game is not even exciting anymore with all these dastardly three-pointers they shoot every game. The WNBA CAN and WILL survive. But, they must do it independently from the NBA. The dunking issue is just jackass dumb. WNBA revenue has nothing to do with lack of excitement. It has more to do with MARKETING. I don't want to see the women become just as selfish and ineffective as some of the most super-talented men ecause then, they would start over-relying/depending on their TALENT to bail them out of close games (games that should not even be close) to win, but I think Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese and others coming into the league is definitely a step in the right direction. I think it would also help if the WNBA went to a 40-42 game format so the would not have to go overseas for the other half of the season rolls around like the do now. That way, we could see a lot more of these gifted players and the marketing at this stage would also be a big boost. We can discuss potential expansion and other issues later, but these are a few that stick out to me.

Love this video, and it took an interesting and revealing turn towards the end. I think you started hearing what may be a legit source of the non-entertainment issue -- the coaches of women's basketball. From what it sounds like, gifted playmakers would rather play a Clark style of basketball but the Auriemmas, the Mulkeys, and the Staleys -- for all their wins and championships -- snuff that style of entertainment out, and then take pot shots at it during press conferences and interviews.

The revenue is - $10mill

The women’s college game is way more popular than the WNBA. For this main reason. Do you have a built-in fan base meaning when these girls go to the schools you have families you have a alumni aunt uncles who all come to games and watch and support and a local communities for all these universities. So when you have a turnover every year when you sign one player, you’re guaranteed at least four people from that person‘s family are going to be a game by tickets by merchandise paying for parking that generates revenue. The NCAA works along with title their allocated specific funds to their sport. That’s why the college game thrives.. The WNBA first off they only play a three month season ! You’re only playing 30 to 35 games max! You can’t generate the type of money you want in three months it’s impossible you don’t plan normal NBA areas of 17 18, 19,000 fans. They stopped doing that after it’s inaugural season because it didn’t make money. You playing 6000 to 5000 seed arena Union Hall And smaller venues. And you don’t sell those out.! The biggest demographic that watches the WNBA are middle-aged men. 40 to 60 year old man are the ones watching your sport more than anyone so you can’t say it’s sexist. it’s women who are not watching your sport it’s the younger demographic who are not paying attention to your sport. The fact that people are telling you what’s exciting and what isn’t you’re blaming the audience for not liking the product but they’re telling you what they like. And so, lastly, the WNBA has a real chance with this Kaitlyn Clark hysteria that has been created in college riding that wave and getting her involved with this League. She’s the brightest star League will have in a while. She’s got the imagination of the captured right now from her in college And it’s transferring directly over to the WNBA so let’s see what happens. You will see attendance and TV ratings go up, but it will not go to level they expect! So be ready for more excuses after a first season of Kaitlyn Clark and we’ll see what happens then.

Ummm they want revenue sharing on NEGATIVE income?!? Lmaoo the nba subsidizes them, which means if the nba stops paying to keep them afloat, they won’t even have the wnba 😂

I just gotta say how out of touch with reality and knowing Basketball history these women are. The Dunk literally changed the game astronomically when it was introduced! Ticket sales and business was pretty much in the dumps until players started dunking on opponents and putting them on posters and highlights! And is that all NBA players do is dunk!? Hell nah but when they do it is such a sight to see…ask anybody women and men alike! Their egocentric, arrogant, defensive, and simplistic views is why they ain’t never going to increase the revenue to get that paper they so desire. Talkin bout a drop step dunk!? Maybe if they lower the rim. Smh.

The reason the current w players don’t want the rim lower is because they’re still not athletic enough to dunk ,the young w players and ncaa players would be able to dunk and take over the game and move the old relic bulldaggers out the w another reason it’s failing is because they don’t cater to their real audience I.e. lil girls they don’t promote products that girls wear like cover girl ,swimsuits ,lip gloss ,wigs ect. they don’t want to be feminine for some reason JUST lower the rims make the uniforms tighter and shorter and let the young girls ball out they would start making way more money but they still doing things like it’s 1996 and it sucks ncaa it’s way better then the w in 2024

People don't buy products they are not interested in. Women would rather spend their hard earned money on shoes. That's the reality. Peoples time won't be spent on a basketball player who can't make a layup.

Lowering of the rim does not mess with your shot. We play on lower rims all the time. So, we can dunk and throw alley oops. Then when we play back on regular size rims. It has no effect on our shots. So, they use that as a bullshit ass excuse.

Not playing basketball to dunk if the opportunity is naturally there to dunk or layup on a fast break or half court offence then do that

Equal pay for equal work. In the terms of basketball professional leagues. It’s not just the playing. That is the work, but bringing in the viewers and making it interesting and profitable. That’s why the men are getting paid more. It’s not equal work one. If the women’s league wants to make more money, then get more butts in the seats. Stop demanding the world to revolve around you. Professional Sports is not just about that the game it’s self it’s the hype is the enthusiasm the fun it generates the entirety of the organism. You can be very talented at your sport. That doesn’t mean you can build a league and make that big profitable. It doesn’t just rest on your skills alone. Whether that’s right or wrong morally or in your heart that’s just how it works.

Gilbert to take on women’s college basketball not allowing players to come in early as a fallacy. It’s that there hasn’t been a big enough to generate that kind of interest for her to leave early with the NL. She’s probably more in college right now that she wouldn’t be. Which is good.

It’s not a fallacy. He’s saying to build the league around hype and enable players the opportunity the same way the NBA does. If players start excelling early in college and build their hype, they can be pipelined into the league, train for a few years and remain explosive.

The WNBA players walk around like they are super stars and have accomplished something but no one wants to even deal with them or work with them and in top of that the game isn’t good

WNBA already is down to only 12 teams right? Pretty soon its all gonna be gone cause of attitudes like Lexi...

All you have to say as a wnba player is "I think its great CC is bringing more fans and more eyes to the game and potentially more revenue." Thats it! You don't have to bow down to her or even like her. Ridiculous.

To touch on the "lower the rims" thing. What do they have to lose? They already say they don't get the respect so fuck it, lets experiment. Remember when the NBA had that dumbass ball that the players didn't like? They tried to improve the ball and players hated it so they changed back... If that ball had improved guys' shooting and made it easier to control, players would have loved it and it would have been the new norm. My point is that sometimes you gotta throw shit at the wall and see what sticks. Lower the rims for a season, let everyone know, and see if the league's revenue improves. If it doesn't, raise them bitches back up and try the next thing.

The NBA should stop subsudizing the WNBA and these ungrateful beaches and let them fold.

In a conversation whenever i exchange ideas and thoughts about any subject, and the person that im having a conversation with is constantly using the word "like", i automatically shut the person down because it shows that they cant even organize their own thoughts. Conversation over.
