Message: [QUOTE="Beemer, post: 4656581, member: 5218"] [USER=6485]@MSSportsGuy[/USER] is right on IMO. Today's players grew up with the WNBA. They can't remember a time when there was no women's pro league in the USA. One problem as I see it is they compare the W unfavorably with the NBA. They see the guys making obscene amounts of money to play, the amenities (private first class charter planes vs commercial etc) and wonder why the W doesn't offer the same. What many of them don't understand is it wasn't always like this in the NBA, that it took decades to develop the league to what it is today. Also, they may not like it but the truth is the WNBA is still in the pioneering stage of its development and the kind of money these athletes want/expect simply isn't available right now. It is getting better though. [/QUOTE]
