No, WNBA players don’t make close to what NBA players make, but they don’t bring in millions of dollars or generate close to the same amount of revenue. More over, people talk about WNBA salaries like they’re living in poverty. They aren’t. The average player is in her 20s and makes about 70k for playing 3-4 months out of the year. In the offseason, most play overseas where they make significantly more, or they take 8-9 months off per year and have the opportunity to pursue other hobbies/careers (ex broadcasting, coaching, woodworking in EDD’s case, etc.) or they can simply relax and train for the next season. They have a pretty darn good paying job compared to 90% of the population. They make far more than most other female professional athletes and most millenials in their 20s. People need to recognize that more rather than always focusing on how low pay is compared to NBA players. [/QUOTE]
