For the complainers over the matter of how much WNBA players make, I have a challenge to you. Just go start your own team (or even league if you don't like the rules of the current WNBA) and you can pay the players however much you want. If it's more than the WNBA, I'm sure you can get all the good players.
I find much of this discussion rather much like what happens often at my work. "Consultants" call us and suggest they know how to help us make more money. We ask "Do you know what we do?" (NO), "Do you know how much we presently make doing what you don't know?" (NO). Then exactly why are you so sure you know how to help us make more?
Every time I see someone complaining about something I think, "Hmmm, sounds like there's an opportunity available." Of course the complainer almost never seizes that opportunity, that's someone else's job. As the saying goes, nothing is impossible for the person that doesn't have to do it.
Two definitions of consultant:
a) Someone who, for a price, offers to tell you the time then asks to borrow your watch.
b) Someone who knows less about your business than you do and charges more to tell you how to run it than you could make even if you ran it right rather than how the consultant suggests.
