The pay gap in sports is super easy to explain I dont even understand how its an ongoing conversation. Professional sports and the players of those sports are paid millions of dollars because it SELLS if people aren't watching women's sports for whatever reason they may have its simply not selling nearly as much hence why they get paid less, its not real rocket science
What if it made more money and then they simply pocketed the difference? Because, why wouldn't they do that? In which case, there would have to be a conversation where people request more money... You're trying to make it seem clear cut when it's literally not.
Except it literally is, because its a well known fact WNBA does not sell more or have more viewership then the NBA, thats just a literal fact, we could always say, "well what if we all just had more money, and there was enough to go around for everyone, then it wouldn't be so clear cut!" But thats a fictional what if, not a fact, much like your comment. IF they made more money and were just pocketing it then that would be one thing, but thats not whats happening, its VERY easy to follow the trail, do simple math and see that the WNBA does not make nearly as much money as the NBA so your point really isn't even a point
You're trying to make it seem clear cut when it's literally not.
It's very clear cut. You can go look up the revenue from the NBA and WNBA. Like it will take you less than 60 seconds to find that information. You spent more time writing an asinine comment proving to everyone that you are incapable of a google search
That can happen in men's sport too, can it not? Even then male athletes get paid higher. So they must be bringing in more money right? It's simple math
