How did you get the idea that she is denigrating janitors simply by pointing out they get paid more.Typical, arrogant, leftist. Denigrate working-class folks to claim that they're deserving of more.
Yet the men get paid in the millions of dollars women only receive payment in the 100,000 dollar mark. But the women receive better coverage than the men.For the first time since the inception of the N.C.A.A. women’s championship in 1982, the women’s final drew more viewers than the men’s — 18.9 million compared with 14.8. or the women, it was a dramatic jump from the year before, when the final drew almost 10 million viewers. For the men, it continued a downward trend: Viewership was roughly half what it was in 2015,
Seems like everyone is makng money from women sports but the actual women who play the sports. Unlike the mens sport where they earn less revenue than the women but get paid far more.At the same time, the popularity of the W.N.B.A., women’s soccer, and even of sports like women’s rugby exploded. Women’s sports bars began opening across the country. Ad dollars rose sharply. And the introduction of name, image and likeness programs made it so that college athletes could cash in on their celebrity.
Typical, arrogant, leftist. Denigrate working-class folks to claim that they're deserving of more.
This ^!Jesus ****.
What a stupid Look at me thread.
Typical, arrogant, leftist. Denigrate working-class folks to claim that they're deserving of more.
Are all women athletes "leftist" in your view? If not, what exactly about this woman is "leftist?" And following that, what does politics have to do with janitor pay?Typical, arrogant, leftist. Denigrate working-class folks to claim that they're deserving of more.
There is an inherent insult in the comment, she implied that they don't deserve to get paid more.How did you get the idea that she is denigrating janitors simply by pointing out they get paid more.
Better coverage? You can't be serious, the NBA sends money to help offset the deficit the WNBA sees every year, in the current year the WNBA is looking at a 50mil$ loss.Rather than pretend there is an insult How about some facts.

The women's sports usually play to a deficit, if the WNBA were to pay them properly they would all make at least half of what they are getting.As for the claim that sports is unessential. That is not backed by the fact that the game of basketball in america generates 10 billion dollars a year. It would not be making that kind of money if people did not think the game had any worth.
The reason she has a right to complain is that despite women sports getting as good if not better coverage than mens sports the media and monied interets that control the sport are still basically a patriarchal set up that favours men over women.

That is not inherent , that is yours and yours alone assumption. What she is implying is that she is not being paid a fair wage.There is an inherent insult in the comment, she implied that they don't deserve to get paid more.
Yet as mentioned their popularity grows to a point where it can and does exceed that of men basketball. The reason for the loss is of course that ameirca is a patriarchal bent society and that means media and merchandise attention is focused on the men rather than women.Better coverage? You can't be serious, the NBA sends money to help offset the deficit the WNBA sees every year, in the current year the WNBA is looking at a 50mil$ loss.
That is because a male dominated media coverage. Despite the fact that women sports is gaining in popularity where it can exceed coverage that male sports get the media and merchandise where the money is made is still focused on men.The women's sports usually play to a deficit, if the WNBA were to pay them properly they would all make at least half of what they are getting.
That is a ridiculous assumption when all the indicators point to growing crowd of spectators. Yet where the most money is made is from media coverage and merchandise. Which still favours men over women. Women sports do not generate the income of men not because women sports are less viewed but because the media and merchandise agents still favour men.The college game of basketball is great for women.
The WNBA doesn't generate the revenue to play it's players their worth.
The WNBA is subsidized by the NBA because it loses millions every year.
Can you prove that with numbers? Attendance, viewership?That is not inherent , that is yours and yours alone assumption. What she is implying is that she is not being paid a fair wage.

The fact is not that women sports are less deserving of coverage and the money that brings. the fact is that america is a male dominated culture that favours men over women.
You know the folks on the right, they create issues where there are none.Are all women athletes "leftist" in your view? If not, what exactly about this woman is "leftist?" And following that, what does politics have to do with janitor pay?
yes, with the link I gave in post 2.Can you prove that with numbers? Attendance, viewership?
And another.the N.C.A.A. women’s championship in 1982, the women’s final drew more viewers than the men’s
The only thing holding it back is that the media and merchandise sponsorship is very much patriarchal controlled preferring to focus on men sports.
- Women’s sports are surging – Women’s pro sports attendance is up nearly 50% with WNBA and NWSL growth outpacing men’s leagues, signalling a shift in fan demand.
The survey of men’s and women’s sports news coverage has been conducted every five years since 1989. In the latest study, researchers found that 95% of total television coverage as well as the ESPN highlights show SportsCenter focused on men’s sports in 2019. They saw a similar lopsidedness in social media posts and in online sports newsletters coverage, which were included in the report for the first time since researchers began gathering data three decades ago.
Yeah only recently the WNBA been able to stand in their own and they have Caitlyn Clark to thank for.The college game of basketball is great for women.

Getting sidetrack though, OP is ridiculous AMD should be ignored.
You do know the WNBA is not the same thing as the NCAA right?How did you get the idea that she is denigrating janitors simply by pointing out they get paid more.

People in sports usually get paid partially based on the money the sport earns. So few people watch women's basketball. There isn't much money to spread around like in men's basketball. there would probably be more money, as sexist as it is, in women's mud wrestling.Typical, arrogant, leftist. Denigrate working-class folks to claim that they're deserving of more.
The fact that the average viewership of the NBA Finals is 11.6 million and for a WNBA finals is 728,000 and the attendance for a regular season NBA game is 18 thousand compared to just 9 thousand makes your claim that woman’s sports don’t make less money due to being less viewed an obvious lie.That is a ridiculous assumption when all the indicators point to growing crowd of spectators. Yet where the most money is made is from media coverage and merchandise. Which still favours men over women.

You still not understanding that the WNBA and the NCAA is not the same thing is hilarious.yes, with the link I gave in post 2.

So once in 1982 the college, non paid players, women's final beat the men's final? That is your justification for saying the WNBA gets more people watching than the NBA?yes, with the link I gave in post 2.

What is the differences in the price of a ticket? How much of this audience is on cable rather than live ticket events? How many people watch doesn't matter. How much money the game brings in does.Yet the men get paid in the millions of dollars women only receive payment in the 100,000 dollar mark. But the women receive better coverage than the men.
He just keeps using the NCAA when discussing the WNBA as he is dishonestly trying to peddle his little narrative.So once in 1982 the college, non paid players, women's final beat the men's final? That is your justification for saying the WNBA gets more people watching than the NBA?
