I’m glad my fifty k a year is not a real salary think I should go to Europe on Sundays my day off a week ( sometimes) to cobble out an income that isn’t looked down on a likesecond class citizen by people like you
Why is it sexist?
Well then they get to spend summers back home with family and friends while resting, relaxing, and enjoying life. They'd get to experience many countries and cultures around the world and probably end up making more money in the long run.
We all can’t be rich... stop watching others pockets. You’re on a computer so is Bill Gates
So why are we upset that Stewie got injured overseas... and blaming it on the pay in the W
We gotta stop comparing ourselves to others. players on his team make 2M a year (and don’t go overseas) and he makes 30M a year. Players pay in the NBA range from 30m down to 2M... everyone can’t be great, should the 12th man go get a side gig to get closer to Lebron’s pay, go overseas or just be happy with what they get
Ok, a the CEO of Amazon can buy the whole NBA and WNBA.
I think more should do it especially if the W is holding on by a thread
Thanks
And things will never change if people keep enabling and explaining away the tough choices elite female athletes are forced to make just to make a living. We on this board get such enjoyment out of women's basketball and then create a thread that in its title expreses such tone deafness. Sad.
Poor suckers, only two mil a year to play hoops.
It’s hard to tell when Dee is being serious. I can definitely see her saying that. Whether she means it or not, I don’t know.
let it gooooo
Women’s basketball is a niche sport. It has a fan base, yes, but it’s tiny compared to the NBA or even men’s college hoops. There is just no interest. It’s the same with any other sport, golf for instance. Do you care about the LPGA? How about women’s ice hockey? These sports exist but do not have the same following as men’s sports. Tennis, maybe, gymnastics, and ice skating are the only women’s sports where interest is the same as the men’s version
The top 30 men players in Europe make between 1 and 3 million. So in essence, their European salary is about one-tenth of what the get in the NBA. This is basically the reverse of what it is in Womens Basketball. Other than financially there are advantages for USA players to play in the WNBA. They get to play at home and playing in the WNBA also helps to define their market value overseas. It is to is often financially advantageous for American players to at least initially play in the WNBA even if the salary is not that great.
So if that is the state of affairs then why would anyone feel the need to ask if an elite athlete would have to work overseas to make a living and create this thread.
His wife, with her recent divorce settlement of $36 billion worth of Amazon stock, could buy the whole NFL for cash
When I read the title, I took it as stated - do they "need" to go overseas to make a decent living?
Although I hope the WNBA will someday become popular enough for its players to be able to make a living playing in the WNBA full time, it's hard to have too much pity for them. They get paid to play a game. Unlike most of us, they have the choice of whether to do that, or to go make a living doing something that's actually economically productive (or both). Boo hoo...
Which is why he doesn’t need an off-season job overseas to get by.
OK only the top 10 most valuable NFC teams. Forbes says the average NFL franchise is worth $2.57 Billion. Top 10:
We love going to The Connecticut Sun Games. They draw at best 6000 people. I am still amazed the league has not folded. The teams are surely not making any money and they surely cannot compete with the overseas salaries.
exactly why comparing the women and the men is goofy
