Skylar is a great player but she's ignorant to how a business works and she's sexist. She wants women to get paid more...just for being women and that's not reality. NBA players aren't paid based on being men...they are paid based on a revenue split with the owners. WNBA teams make $0 or operate at a loss so their players are in fact paid well based on what they generate
@@willardweston8984 the WNBA players agreed to that. They have a lot to learn about business and so do you. When you play for a sport that barely has any fans then you don't make the same money as the NBA which is popular around the world...that's just basic math and common sense
@Sam Frid it's so funny how someone can say a comment this fucked, but more fuckrd wr all agree and like it lmfao. One thing we all can come together on is the hate for WNBA.
Yup you have to get more females involved in sports simple i don't know a single women who cares about basketball or football i have two sisters basketball is the last thing on There mind they only care about boys and shit there boyfriends want to do
Shit women left there husbands and boyfriends because of sports and you think they are going to support Women sports good luck with that and to make matters worst its more women than men wnba should be dominating in the sells lol but they are not because women dont care
Just like how everyone clowned Brian Scalabrine, but he wipes the floor with any 1-on-1 challenger from civilians. Guys like him only look like a joke in the NBA because there's guys like Kobe and Lebron in that league.
These WNBA all stars make fun of NBA bench players like wtf those bench players could easily dominate them I wanna see one of those WNBA players put their money where their mouth is and challenge a bench player I really wanna see that 🤷🏽♂️
Barnes worked hard to get were they are. Does she think that to get that 40 million contract you just have to show up? Does she think Derrick rose just got that Adiddas sponsership from nowhere? lower the rims and start doing amazing poster dunks and not non defended ones
NBA was founded in 1946, WNBA was created in 1996. Took 72 years for NBA players to get the money that are able to get right now. You know what NBA players were making in their 22nd season, less than 500,000. Bill Russell was only making like 100 grand. So WNBA players who think they should automatically just get money need to wise up and see how long of a process it took for the men to get their salaries. And instead of being counterproductive by showing resentment towards the men, figure what you could to help the WNBA to get to a point where more fans are excited to watch the WNBA, and more money can come in, and then negotiate more tv time and better salaries.
facts woman sports has to evolve like men sports I can see in 25 years girls doing crazy dunks but it hasn't happened yet because they started later than the NBA
Timo Cruz I'm not talking about the inflation, I'm just talking about the marketing and promotimg and time it took for them to get to a point where the league is successful and makes enough profit for the players to get more money. Skylar Diggings and others need to realize that the WNBA first needs to make profit and revenue and be successful enough in order to negotiate more money for them. I'm pretty sure the WNBA games don't even sell out their seats.
@@dooder6755 unless they build a trampoline court biology is biology. No crazy dunking in their future. Like it or not we are bigger, Faster, stronger as men.
Then who's going to watch keeping it up with the kardashian, or the real house wives? or sweet weddings... or show's that says girrrrrrrrllllll....! and um hum?
They should really stop blaming the men in the NBA. In fact I always see NBA stars showing love to WNBA stars 🤔 Maybe they should wonder why more women aren’t supporting them lmao 🤦🏾♂️
True. And some women are into sports. But just like most men they tend to gravitate towards the NBA or NFL. The men leagues. We want the world to be equal and let women do everything a man can or vice versa. We will find there are limits. Men cant give birth. Men don't look good in a skirt. Men can't argue much without getting a migraine. We want to say both sexes are equal, but after that Boston game when Rondo played out with a broken arm and no smirk, and looked possessed on adrenaline that's when I realize some of the guys (Athletes) are no joke.
NonyaBusiness! the analogy you made comparing female and male supermodels' compensation is the most accurate comparison I've seen on this issue. I think Skyler Diggins has a point in that perhaps the WNBA players should be getting a higher portion of the revenue sharing pie since they're the actual commodity...BUT we can't escape the undeniable fact that the league simply isn't that popular. I wish that WNBA players would focus their attention on cultivating a female fan base FIRST & FOREMOST before making the arguments they seem to be making RE equal pay, etc. If American women/girls don't support the WNBA how can anyone else be expected to? Anyone who sees that as sexist simply isn't being honest.
Don't blame JLo, Beyonce, Serena, Rihanna for the WNBA's problems. They aren't the ones going on record saying that WNBA players need to make more money. Blame the WNBA for not putting together a marketing strategy where they could leverage some of those women superstars' talents to cultivate a strong female fanbase.
Marino De Jesus the WNBA hardly makes a profit if any at all and uses revenues from the NBA to stay afloat. If it wasn’t attached to the NBA company the WNBA would have been bankrupt years ago. Yes, she is asking for more money from the NBA.
@@jamesforeman8028 The NBA doesn't own the WNBA, they sold it back in 2002. The NBA is beeing generous helping them out for no reason, so these Lady's from the WNBA need to learn how a business works, if a company doesn't own you they are not going to pay you, specially if the product has no demand.
DC SooWavyyy that's only one reason a pro is a person that can do what the average person can't do you have millions of young men can what they do that work full-time jobs
DC SooWavyyy : I don’t mind the layups, but they don’t attract female fans. It doesn’t help that a lot of them are lesbians. Men like sexiness in women’s sports. Women’s tennis is sexy. Women’s beach volleyball is sexy - even though a lot of lesbians play that sport, too. WNBA basketball is a great product, and the women actually play the way the game was meant to be played. Their fundamentals are better than the men’s. But the men are far more creative and have better athletic ability. They’re more explosive...it’s just a better look. I feel for the women, but until they attract full arenas they’ll never make what the men make. Also, this is an attempt to dig into the men’s pocketbooks. THAT AIN’T happening!!!! The NBA has already carried the WNBA for years. The league doesn’t even make money, but the NBA recognizes the opportunity to allow the women to be ambassadors for the sport. They have the WNBA’s back, but that doesn’t mean these women should be eating off of the men’s plates.
It has nothing to do with dunking. If you only have the option of going to watch your local high school basketball game or wnba game, which one would you choose? I would choose the high school game.
As a female basketball player, who played overseas and in college, the WNBA is hard to watch. The environment seems to only cater to the lesbian crowd and many players blow open lay ups. Sorry not sorry.
10 - Lisa Leslie said the same thing but she was called a hater and bigot. Funny thing is that she was able to draw a lot of men particularly AA men to games and viewership in the mid 90s.
I've been going to Atlanta Dream games for three years. The lesbian crowd isn't warm or welcoming to non-homosexual people. After three years, I'm still treated as an outsider. I just ignore them and focus on the basketball.
Jeremy M. Thompson - I had Liberty season tickets in the 90s. I supported the league because I followed Women college ball back in the 90s and wanted basketball all year round. It was family orientated back when the league started. Funny thing is that the primary Liberty customers were men showing up with their daughters. Not women but mostly men. I mean that was how it was marketed as guys bring your daughters to the games. Why because they were unable to attract women to the games. Most of the women that were showing up were lesbians.
Cliff D The Atlanta Dream get families and the father bringing their daughter to the games. Unfortunately, they usually only come for one game and never come back. Last season, they had a marketing campaign for men to buy season tickets called "Be A Man." I decided not to renew my season tickets due to that campaign. Instead I use an app for $30 per month that gets me into many different events complimentary. I will never go back to season tickets for the WNBA. I'm seriously considering opting out from their games. As this is coming from a guy who followed his sister's games in grade school, helped out his girl's HS team, managed a D1 women's basketball team in college, and follows women's college basketball religiously.
@@chisomaga1118 Why is that? How about the 175,000,000 Million Women of this country that dont support your Dreams? If 1/10 of them cared It would drown out so called "Boy's who ruin your dreams". But do you know where they're at. Their over on TMZ message board And Derek Jaxson comments trolling men. They're every where else except a WNBA video.
Russell Wilson, Aaron Rogers, Carson Wentz, Ben Rothlesberger, and about 5 more nfl QBs made more money last year than the entire WBNA league. Ladies, you’re product is not what the masses want to spend their money on.
Lebron James generates more revenue in a week than the entire WNBA generates in a year. That says enough. Were NBA players making millions of dollars 20 years after the league started?
It took a long time for the NBA athlete to achieve this superstar status, they all need to thank Bird and Jordan for that. Still, the entertainment factor was always there, not as globalized in a way, but the sport became dynamic after the mid 70s. So, if the WNBA can reach this status, who knows how much these "women" could earn in 30 years? And we already know the answer, they will never become a relevant product. Only if they go full steroids, like the UFC did with their women.
1:40 "There's only so many fast break layups we're willing to watch on ESPN." OMG, I can't believe he said that. Yes, that's what we're all thinking, but I can't believe he said it.
I've NEVER seen a woman or a young girl out in public wearing ANY KIND of WNBA gear (hat, jersey, t-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, whatever) & I live in an area where they used to have a WNBA team for a number of years that actually won a championship one year (Sacramento). Also Sears is the only place I've seen that even sells WNBA gear, & that was when the WNBA was still in it's infancy. And they only had one rack of a few different teams jerseys (no hats, t-shirts, jackets or anything else). Also I have a 15 year old daughter who plays Basketball & she's been playing since she was 8. And over those years I have been to many of her games & tournaments with her school & AAU teams including many out of town & out of state games & tournaments & NOT ONCE have I ever seen ANY of those young female players wearing any kind of WNBA gear. My daughter doesn't watch WNBA games either.
Also The WNBA only makes around 50 million dollars, the NBA make around 5 BILLION dollars, the WNBA can’t afford to pay players anywhere close to the nba salary, these players should stop complaining and maybe actually learn how to do flashier dunks in game , that’ll put butts in seats and therefore raise a bit more revenue, and eventually you’ll get paid like the NBA guys
NonyaBusiness! But what I’m saying is that if they wish to get paid like men, they have to do that to generate revenue, might be unrealistic but I wish they would stop bitching about this
Thomas Hughes the WNBA only makes 50 million? When 25 million is charitably gifted to them out of the NBA's TV deal, plus another 10 million in an annual direct subsidy from the NBA to cover losses? so they are only making 15 million in revenue???
Espn...we have highlights from last night's WNBA game Me- hold up now...what did bron have for breakfast Most important meal of the day right there baby
Here's the difference that she doesn't understand. If the lowliest bench-sitter on the worst team in the NBA went to the WNBA, he would be leading that league in everything: PPG, rebounds, blocks, steals, assists. Skylar Diggins couldn't hope to be the 12th player on the Phoenix Suns (the worst team in the NBA last season), not in her wildest dreams. There's a reason we all prefer to watch male athletes perform: they run faster, jump higher, throw farther, and hit harder than the most elite female athletes. She needs to stop deluding herself.
Someone in the WNBA needs to gather all these women together and let them know how economics works supply and demand. NBA gives the WNBA money every year to keep afloat and these women have the audacity to whine and cry about equal pay. How about the NBA pulls your funding and then you can whine and cry about only working overseas.
Noah Orakwue Even though it’s just a percentage there is nothing in the money pool to grab. If the NBA doesn’t give them funding then the whole league would crash.
The WNBA costs the NBA 10million a year to keep afloat. The NBA makes enough profit to just throw away 10million a year on the WNBA. That’s why there’s a gap. Period.
When i see a center under the the hoop with the ball, invision a dunk 80% of the time. In wnba, all you see is a little hop followed by a tremendous effort pushing the ball up like a 5 year old. I won't pay $1m for that.
Bottom line....women's sports has always had an uphill battle regarding fan interest. Women themselves don't support it, but they fully expect men to support it. Women complain, but won't step up. You can't FORCE men or women to watch your sport. The NBA has run a charity in carrying the WNBA - it can't stand on its own. I believe only one or two of the franchises are privately owned. They allowed the teams to have ads/sponsors on their jerseys early on to allow for additional revenue streams (the NBA started doing it not out of necessity, but greed...hahaha!). They don't generate the revenue that NBA franchises/league does, so she can't expect salary and revenue sharing parity with the NBA. She spouts all kinds of statistics and facts, but not ultimately what's behind those numbers. Yes, the women still have to go overseas to make millions (Russia pays them millions, gives them gifts like furs and diamonds, pays for housing, etc.) Brazil is perhaps the most soccer-crazy nation on the planet, but they can't sustain a women's professional soccer league. What does that tell you about the interest in women's professional sports?
This isn’t even completely true because people love women’s tennis, badminton, volleyball, even soccer to some degree. The problem is the quality of the entertainment factor.
Erm not rlly. What I find is the most successful duel sports is when woman can compete in their own conditions or against men themselves. Tennis is popular for both genders. Poker (ik, but by some is still tech a sport) gives females opportunity to be successful without paygap. MMA on both sides of the spectrum is also doing well. Overall, their is interest in Female sports when their interesting. (Srry if his was a bit difficult to read)
@@iwhatwasthelastnell8829 You're talking about individual sports. I was referring strictly to team sports, and I think you know that. Even with individual sports, you'll find there are a couple of dominant women that get promoted to carry the whole sport. MMA is carried by men. There's usually only one or two great female fighters to promote at any given time. Female combat sports are still relatively new, and there just isn't a depth of competitive talent available to truly carry it. Historically, the same can be said of tennis, though there's more depth of talent. Throughout the world, women's professional team sports struggle.
I agree with you 100%. I have a job at a grocery store, but I sure don't enjoy it, and can't even afford my own apartment yet at age 29 unfortunately. Sklyar gets to play her favorite sport as a career and gets paid in the 6 figures, but wants even more? Plus she's married (thankfully to a guy unlike a lot of the wnba players) Geez how spoiled does she want to be?
Simple solution. The NBA does NOT prevent women from playing in their league. Prove it. Prove you are every bit as good as someone in the NBA by going to play in the NBA. Forget playing in the WNBA. Go play in the best league in the world and get paid like it. Sick of WNBA pay? Don't play in that league go play in the men's league.
Don't blame her for being upset. She balls the fuck out only to get shit pay while you got bums in the league getting PAID. *EDIT* : (Since apparently people are adding names to my comment, I DID NOT CALL HARRISON BARNES A BUM! I said BUMS in the league. Can't believe I gotta explain this)
Dee Harrison Barnes isn’t a bum tho. How is she gonna complain about pay & literally undermine someone else’s pay? I understand her gripe, but don’t attack another man who’s living his dream & doing nothing wrong.
@@mylokaf the men negotiated that in their CBA some years back, the women must have had that opportunity if they have a players association and if they dont they should make one.
Only thing that bothers me is that they dont get part of the sales of their jerseys but damn the WNBA doesnt make the same amount of money as the NBA so its easy to figure out that the "employees" arent going to make as much as the men. Sorry but thats just the way it is.
I use to play in an "under six foot" men's league. Even that was more exciting than watching the average WNBA game. FYI we didn't lower the rim or use a smaller ball and we had no trouble making a layup or shooting from the outside. Also we didn't get a dime for playing. We had to pay league fees, tip the refs and buy our own equipment and uniforms.
@@bballgriotd-e-e-e-troitbba604 You said it.. maybe that apply too on sports in other countries.. if they don't like it in the WNBA I suppose they could go on strike... I guess the fans would laugh at that.. but on the mainstream media that could be a bad PR punch for the NBA... Everybody gonna jump in the virtue signaling.. we should see what happens.
@@bballgriotd-e-e-e-troitbba604 one makes 8 billion and the other makes 25 million (including the 12 million that the NBA gives them every year). The real problem is women which make up 50% of the population dont watch them or support them.
I agree, she should be thankful there is a pro-women's bball team in the U.S. I occasionally look at wnba highlights, but not full games, cause they're mediocre compared to nba basketball, men's college basketball and even high school boys basketball. The fact that there are a lot of lesbians in the wnba doesn't help either.
Yeah, Candice Wiggins a former WNBA player once said the that WNBA had 98% of lesbian players. She said she was bullied and was harassed for being straight.
Yeah I felt bad for her after hearing that. I wonder what she's doing with her life now. I hope that doesn't happen to Skylar or any other straight wnba player. I also feel bad for the straight basketball player girls who want to be in the wnba, and may have to end their plans to because of that. I hate how bad this LGBT movement has gone. Lesbianism and basketball don't even mix.
The NBA earns $7.4 billion each year (without losing any money), $89 per ticket and an average viewership of 15.14 million viewers for the Finals. The WNBA earns $60 million annually (losing $10 million annually and compensated by the NBA), $17.42 per ticket, and an average viewership of 231,000 viewers. Ladies, do the math.
When the WNBA doesn't need the money from the NBA to keep the league afloat, then they can talk about getting more. That's just real talk. You can't ask for more if you already need help from someone else to keep your league going. Funny how none of the WNBA players complaining want to talk about the NBA money their league is getting. We all know why they won't. It doesn't help their agenda if they do. Which ia why nothing they have to say means anything to me. They won't discuss ALL the facts if the situation.
they're biting the hand that feeds them, they have that entitled mindset. to shut them up would be to drop them on their fucking own but that would be a bad idea.
Zay Zay Sometimes you just gotta drop people when they get outta line like this and try to take advantage of your good will. Just take the flak and move on. No extortion. And I think most of country is ready for the radical feminists to take one on the chin, regardless of whether or not the media gives that impression. I mean I'm a very liberal guy but this shit is getting silly. If the WNBA gets dropped, the NBA will be fine
Since its inception in 1997, the WNBA has never had a profitable season. They simply can't afford to pay their players any more than they already are. In fact, they can't afford to pay them the salaries they are already making. Get more viewers. Get more sponsors. Get more air time. Get higher salaries. It's a simple problem to understand, but a difficult problem to solve.
I saw on the internet I think it was on ESPN site that showed a document from the NBA that the NBA since they had a 70% stake in the WNBA that they lost 23 million dollars.these WNBA players are damn lucky the NBA still has a share in this league or they'd be flipping burgers at burger king.and the WNBA players calls the NBA out?.the NBA should just take their ball and flush the WNBA down the toilet.
@@namtiddies1353 They had deals with the Lifetime and Oxygen networks. Networks that are targeted towards women. They ended up dropping them due to poor ratings.
they dont split the profits because the franchises are losing money, even if they keep 80% of the profits. if they split it even, they'll be further down the hole and it'll be a matter of time before the league would go bankrupt.
Why is no one taking her side in the comment section...lol. Woman playing ball without men is boring. It was cool on the playground when you saw a girl who can hang with the fellas. Little girls wanting to go to that dead league is laughable...lmao. They better off signing up for the Big 3 league{yeah!!!! yeah!!!!}
She has a good point. But stop blaming the men or the NBA. College players should be complaining first then you. College players work hard and don’t no Money
No actually she has no point the league doesn't generate money in the positives ... the money the NBA gives them is all that's keeping that league afloat...furthermore if I'm being quite blunt nobody wants to a bunch women out display the energy of man ...bumping tits and damn near all of are lesbians and it's a well known secret that that's the culture that is promoted in that organization .. most people man and women just don't wanna see that
How the hell is anything she said a good point? She should be happy she got the opportunity to play in that league If it wasn't for the NBA she wouldn't have a opportunity This chick is delusional and u are too if u think she got a point.
The NBA was established in June 1946 Moses Malone & Bill Walton were the first players to earn $1 Million in a season, they were paid exactly $1,000,000 in the 1979-80 season. IT TOOK 33 YEARS !!!! FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN HOW LONG HAS THE WNBA BEEN AROUND.
Report: Michelle Jordan, has anyone ever told you that you kinda look like Michael Jordan? Micheal Jordan (dress like a woman): No, never happened. But you should buy some Air Jordan.
Shaun Cameron : Exactly! That’s why I said what I said. What they [WNBA players] really want is to make some crazy argument that they are somehow helping to fuel NBA revenues and this deserve a piece of that pie. The truth is that they AREN’T fueling NBA revenues - if anything all they’re doing is reducing NBA profits - and they don’t deserve one red cent of the NBA money. They know they don’t deserve it, and they know they’ll look stupid if they ask, but by going Public with their gripe they put out feelers to every lawyer in the country (and beyond) to find some theory that will allow them to be paid. They are also low-key begging advertisers to help them market the league better - which puts the cart before the horse. The league has to draw people, which brings the sponsors, which raises the revenues. What the WNBA wants is for the sponsors to pour more money into the WNBA to help market the league to fans so that the fans will hopefully come to the arenas - with no guarantees whatsoever. I feel for them. They feel like, being at the top of their sport, they shouldn’t have to worry about money once they leave the game. There’s always coaching, and if they look good, they can be actresses, media moguls and businesswomen. There was a time when NBA players worked in the offseason by necessity, and many of them kept working because they either lived those jobs or made more money working than playing hoops. But the league wouldn’t be what it is without those guys. They all played a part in growing it to where it is now. Former Sonics guard John Johnson (R.I.P.) sold me my first BMW. His championship teammate “Downtown” Freddie Brown was an executive with Seattle First National Bank, which later became Bank of America. I think he JUST retired a few years ago. Honestly, the NBA players from all of the past decades have a much better argument than WNBA players for getting a piece, especially those who never made a million dollars in their entire career. They probably should be getting some small checks for life from these crazy multi-billion-dollar revenues, but that’s what their pensions are for. Maybe their pensions grew under the new deal. That would be worth investigating.
You mean Dennis Johnson. But yeah! In all fairness, the NBA itself wasn't big enough yet to grant million-dollar contracts. But unlike the WNBA's to date, the NBA became a profitable league by year 22.
I know I'm way late here, but her complaining about wnba players getting less than 50% of league revenue is hysterical considering the wnba has never once turned a profit in its entire existence.
Here is the sad truth...if the NBA didn't bank role the WNBA, for a loss every year, the WNBA wouldn't exist. Skylar Diggins ends every point by saying: In the WNBA. And that also ends her point. Because there is just no comparing the WNBA to the NBA!!! Not in audience appeal and support. Not in quality of the game. I'm sorry but that is just the TRUTH.
They better do like the guys leagues and go scout kobe's daughters in hope of getting a basketball Goddess. And ladies I don't mean looks. I'm talking about basket ball IQ and 360 dunks from anywhere, and shooting on anyone or anything and know it's going in.
NonyaBusiness! the only real thing separating NBA and WNBA players is the athletic ability to do superhuman feats. But the actual skill set of the WNBA players has come a very long way these last couple of decades. You're seeing crossovers, circus shots, threes, etc that are basically at the same level as the NBA just not as quick, explosive or powerful. These women can really hoop. They should really be trying to cultivate a strong fanbase of young women/girls.
NonyaBusiness! you're missing the point entirely. You don't tune into women's tennis to see 120 mph serves; women's tennis fans appreciate women's tennis because of the professional-level skill set those women bring to the table. No sane person can/should expect NBA action in a WNBA game. No sane person would expect that from an NCAA game either since there's a huge drop off between division 1 men's NCAA basketball talent and the NBA, yet March Madness is still exciting because fans' expectations are that they're seeing a college game, not an NBA game given that less than 3% of college players actually become NBA players. They shouldn't be marketing their product to mainstream NBA fans; they need to be cultivating a hard fanbase of young women/girls that will appreciate the WNBA product. It's silly to say that the NBA is the only basketball league that can have a fanbase.
She does realize if she came to the NBA she would get destroyed right? I put 50$ that Harrison Barnes would beat her in 1v1. He would out muscle her and post her to the ground. That the point why would i watch inferior athletes over superior ones? Men get more shine cos men are more exciting.
Harrison Barnes is a NBA Champion.. Listen girls if y’all want more money y’all gotta play more exciting.. No one wants to see fast break lay ups all time 🤷🏾♂️
lol Harrison Barnes is an overrated and overpaid scrub. While these broads are crazy thinking they should be paid more when their product makes no money, Barnes is still trash.
@@jayy6869 Oh god, everyone always have to say something stupid like this. I obviously don’t spend my life playing basketball...that doesn’t change the fact that Barnes impact has never been close to his paycheck.
Skylar's one of my favorite wnba stars (out of 4) but she sounds pretty jealous according to those quotes. 1st of all the nba's been around decades longer than the wnba, has 18 more teams than the wnba, and to be honest a lot more entertaining highlights than the wnba, beyond just dunking so that's why it's viewed more, has higher fan attendance and that's why nba athletes make more. She should be thankful the US even has a professional women's basketball league. I'm a guy, but I'd be very thankful if I had the opportunity to play basketball as a profession even if I were making at least $50,000 a year, which is enough to support myself and possibly if I choose to have a family in the future cause I love basketball even though I've never been paid to play it one day of my life. I'm 29 as of 2018, and stuck at a basic grocery store job with working with some high-school aged employees. So she's got it great compared to me and she's one year younger than me.
Brace Brooks lmaooooooooo...not laughing at u but what u said cause u right....i play ball too and i wish i could get paid 50k to do what i loved all my life....she got it good bro u right
I'm glad you agree. Yes no need to complain that much when you're making enough money to live on your own doing a job you love + she's married too. I'm not even dating a young lady right now unfortunately.
Ikr. She's making six fuckin figures. What else do u want. It's the jealousy factor. Put 20 guys in a room 4 good looking women. Have all 20 pay attention to just 2. What will happen with the other two women?
Damn bruh why you had to make me have an epiphany in the comment section lmao! I ain't dating nobody, work 6 days almost every damn week sometimes 7 days straight! I cant afford to even live still, passed on benefits cuz I'm not making enough as is, got no family, and I would love to hop more than I do rn. I cant feel sympathy for her or anyone else in the WNBA, they worked to get there but you cant complain bout that when there are plenty of other people (women included!!) That's killing themselves to try and get by. Naaaah.
One thing that I could definitely say about the WNBA is that the talent and skill level has gotten much better over the last decade and a half. These women can hoop for real even though they don't have the physical prowess to make the game as exciting as the NBA.
Israel Rosario Jr., have you seen what high school boys players are doing now? When the game becomes advanced enough, the fans will come. Zion Williamson was more famous than any WNBA player while he was still in high school. The WNBA needs to give the fans what they want instead of telling them what to want.
Skylar Diggins needs to understand that there is a huge disparity in revenue from the NBA as compared to the WNBA. That will always be the case. Men will support women's basketball only up to a certain point and that's it. We want to see high-flying dunks, physical play, superior athleticism and other things associated with the men's game. If the WNBA is to be a more successful entity, Women have to support women's basketball. Period. If women don't go out and attend games, it will never be as popular as the NBA. Women have to act as if there is a sale at Macy's when attending WNBA games. Unless this kind of enthusiasm and fervor takes place amongst women for women's sports, the WNBA will always be relegated to where it is now. If you want the WNBA to flourish, get the masses of women to support it.
Skylar Diggins is a beautiful woman and maybe if they promoted female beauty instead of all these masculine females trying to be men people would support there product and btw Harrison Barnes had better stats then her better ppg, 3pt% Reb and ft% is like 1.2 points better then has 82.7 compared to her 83.9 percent point being is this if we want to watch masculinity will which the NBA it's not that difficult to figure out promote the beauty of the feminine principle come on get it together WNBA
Men having been playing longer than women in this sport. The men had to grow their basketball. In the beginning they didn't have the fan base, and they didn't make the money. The WNBA has to grow more, and they need to make themselves more acceptable to women as well as men. Women like basketball, but I think the PR for WNBA is not as strong as the NBA efforts were in the 60' and 70's when the NBA efforts were truly pushing for more fans. Baseball was the number one sport then and football was second, but after good PR men's basketball has truly grown.
Bonita Boggan WNBA has only been around for 20 yrs and do you think the NBA was a billion dollar thing in 20yrs ?? No !! They just need more publicity and money
What in the hell are you talking about? There been many women basketball leagues in the last 60 years. They all failed. The WNBA would fail if the NBA stop supporting it. The NBA has been sinking money into the WNBA for over 22 years with little to show for it. Hell when the WNBA players tried to strike for increase salary six years ago. Then NBA commissioner David Stern said good now the WNBA can finally turn a profit and the WNBA players union folded in like two days. Stop riding men coattails and do for yourself. All this independent women talk goes out of the window when it is time for accountability. Sassy women post on the internet about how men should watch the WNBA but then go back to watching their reality tv shows.
They need a young magic Johnson lady and an opposition like bird. Someone who can really turn heads, but wait it's an opposition in another conference that might can stop her. Sound interesting?
What made the NBA popular is the black players that started coming into the sport no one was really watching a bunch of white players run up and down the floor to do layups and midrange jump shots
As much as I understand her in this struggle and what they're going through, huge problem is not NBA players. it's the WNBA itself. It's a failing sports brand that has no idea how to fix its problem. WNBA makes no money.
Its like a bus driver asking to be paid as much as a Formula 1 Driver. You may drive for a living but the similarities stop there.

When facts are not helping, use the sexist card.
Of course.....that's their M.O.
And don't forget the golden rule: all logic against me is sexist.
Skylar is a great player but she's ignorant to how a business works and she's sexist. She wants women to get paid more...just for being women and that's not reality. NBA players aren't paid based on being men...they are paid based on a revenue split with the owners. WNBA teams make $0 or operate at a loss so their players are in fact paid well based on what they generate
Lamar Taylor they only get 20% of the revenue and no jersey revenue, that’s awful
@@willardweston8984 the WNBA players agreed to that. They have a lot to learn about business and so do you. When you play for a sport that barely has any fans then you don't make the same money as the NBA which is popular around the world...that's just basic math and common sense

Shit women left there husbands and boyfriends because of sports and you think they are going to support Women sports good luck with that and to make matters worst its more women than men wnba should be dominating in the sells lol but they are not because women dont care
She can’t blame the NBA for a product that most women won’t watch. The NBA is a business and if it don’t make dollars it don’t make sense.

These WNBA all stars make fun of NBA bench players like wtf those bench players could easily dominate them I wanna see one of those WNBA players put their money where their mouth is and challenge a bench player I really wanna see that 🤷🏽♂️

The WNBA is gonna sponsor one of those videos and have the women win just to prove a point.
Facts
Bro I’m 13 and literally use the same basketball size as these WNBA players. I find that quite funny.
I dont see you complaining
NBA was founded in 1946, WNBA was created in 1996. Took 72 years for NBA players to get the money that are able to get right now. You know what NBA players were making in their 22nd season, less than 500,000. Bill Russell was only making like 100 grand. So WNBA players who think they should automatically just get money need to wise up and see how long of a process it took for the men to get their salaries. And instead of being counterproductive by showing resentment towards the men, figure what you could to help the WNBA to get to a point where more fans are excited to watch the WNBA, and more money can come in, and then negotiate more tv time and better salaries.
facts woman sports has to evolve like men sports I can see in 25 years girls doing crazy dunks but it hasn't happened yet because they started later than the NBA
yeahhhh but inflation.... 100 grand in Russells day was worth a lot more than it is now.
Timo Cruz I'm not talking about the inflation, I'm just talking about the marketing and promotimg and time it took for them to get to a point where the league is successful and makes enough profit for the players to get more money. Skylar Diggings and others need to realize that the WNBA first needs to make profit and revenue and be successful enough in order to negotiate more money for them. I'm pretty sure the WNBA games don't even sell out their seats.

They should really stop blaming the men in the NBA. In fact I always see NBA stars showing love to WNBA stars 🤔 Maybe they should wonder why more women aren’t supporting them lmao 🤦🏾♂️
True..I ALWAYS see NBA players at their games.
True. And some women are into sports. But just like most men they tend to gravitate towards the NBA or NFL. The men leagues. We want the world to be equal and let women do everything a man can or vice versa. We will find there are limits. Men cant give birth. Men don't look good in a skirt. Men can't argue much without getting a migraine.
We want to say both sexes are equal, but after that Boston game when Rondo played out with a broken arm and no smirk, and looked possessed on adrenaline that's when I realize some of the guys (Athletes) are no joke.
I was going to comment the same thing. Women don't even watch the wnba. The wnba is watched by more men then women. Lol
Karim EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!! Blame the WOMEN for not giving a shit about female sports! But, instead women blame the men.
NonyaBusiness! the analogy you made comparing female and male supermodels' compensation is the most accurate comparison I've seen on this issue. I think Skyler Diggins has a point in that perhaps the WNBA players should be getting a higher portion of the revenue sharing pie since they're the actual commodity...BUT we can't escape the undeniable fact that the league simply isn't that popular. I wish that WNBA players would focus their attention on cultivating a female fan base FIRST & FOREMOST before making the arguments they seem to be making RE equal pay, etc. If American women/girls don't support the WNBA how can anyone else be expected to? Anyone who sees that as sexist simply isn't being honest.
She should be mad at female celebrities. JLo, Beyonce, Serena, Rihanna. Talk all that female empowerment, but never at the games.
Don't blame JLo, Beyonce, Serena, Rihanna for the WNBA's problems. They aren't the ones going on record saying that WNBA players need to make more money. Blame the WNBA for not putting together a marketing strategy where they could leverage some of those women superstars' talents to cultivate a strong female fanbase.

DC SooWavyyy wnba is really just for basketball junkies
brownhippy pretty much
DC SooWavyyy that's only one reason a pro is a person that can do what the average person can't do you have millions of young men can what they do that work full-time jobs
DC SooWavyyy : I don’t mind the layups, but they don’t attract female fans. It doesn’t help that a lot of them are lesbians. Men like sexiness in women’s sports.
Women’s tennis is sexy. Women’s beach volleyball is sexy - even though a lot of lesbians play that sport, too.
WNBA basketball is a great product, and the women actually play the way the game was meant to be played. Their fundamentals are better than the men’s.
But the men are far more creative and have better athletic ability. They’re more explosive...it’s just a better look.
I feel for the women, but until they attract full arenas they’ll never make what the men make.
Also, this is an attempt to dig into the men’s pocketbooks. THAT AIN’T happening!!!!
The NBA has already carried the WNBA for years. The league doesn’t even make money, but the NBA recognizes the opportunity to allow the women to be ambassadors for the sport.
They have the WNBA’s back, but that doesn’t mean these women should be eating off of the men’s plates.
It has nothing to do with dunking. If you only have the option of going to watch your local high school basketball game or wnba game, which one would you choose? I would choose the high school game.
As a female basketball player, who played overseas and in college, the WNBA is hard to watch. The environment seems to only cater to the lesbian crowd and many players blow open lay ups. Sorry not sorry.
10 - Lisa Leslie said the same thing but she was called a hater and bigot. Funny thing is that she was able to draw a lot of men particularly AA men to games and viewership in the mid 90s.
Lisa Leslie with Sheryl Swoopes was one of the reasons I would watch the WNBA.
I've been going to Atlanta Dream games for three years. The lesbian crowd isn't warm or welcoming to non-homosexual people. After three years, I'm still treated as an outsider. I just ignore them and focus on the basketball.
Jeremy M. Thompson - I had Liberty season tickets in the 90s. I supported the league because I followed Women college ball back in the 90s and wanted basketball all year round. It was family orientated back when the league started. Funny thing is that the primary Liberty customers were men showing up with their daughters. Not women but mostly men. I mean that was how it was marketed as guys bring your daughters to the games. Why because they were unable to attract women to the games. Most of the women that were showing up were lesbians.
Cliff D The Atlanta Dream get families and the father bringing their daughter to the games. Unfortunately, they usually only come for one game and never come back. Last season, they had a marketing campaign for men to buy season tickets called "Be A Man." I decided not to renew my season tickets due to that campaign. Instead I use an app for $30 per month that gets me into many different events complimentary. I will never go back to season tickets for the WNBA. I'm seriously considering opting out from their games. As this is coming from a guy who followed his sister's games in grade school, helped out his girl's HS team, managed a D1 women's basketball team in college, and follows women's college basketball religiously.

@@BoleDaPole if the people would watch it then they would do it.
Lebron James generates more revenue in a week than the entire WNBA generates in a year. That says enough. Were NBA players making millions of dollars 20 years after the league started?
It took a long time for the NBA athlete to achieve this superstar status, they all need to thank Bird and Jordan for that. Still, the entertainment factor was always there, not as globalized in a way, but the sport became dynamic after the mid 70s. So, if the WNBA can reach this status, who knows how much these "women" could earn in 30 years? And we already know the answer, they will never become a relevant product. Only if they go full steroids, like the UFC did with their women.

I've NEVER seen a woman or a young girl out in public wearing ANY KIND of WNBA gear (hat, jersey, t-shirt, sweatshirt, jacket, whatever) & I live in an area where they used to have a WNBA team for a number of years that actually won a championship one year (Sacramento). Also Sears is the only place I've seen that even sells WNBA gear, & that was when the WNBA was still in it's infancy. And they only had one rack of a few different teams jerseys (no hats, t-shirts, jackets or anything else). Also I have a 15 year old daughter who plays Basketball & she's been playing since she was 8. And over those years I have been to many of her games & tournaments with her school & AAU teams including many out of town & out of state games & tournaments & NOT ONCE have I ever seen ANY of those young female players wearing any kind of WNBA gear.

But half of the WNBA teams are at a loss, so if they gave the players a higher percentage of revenue, then half the teams would probably go bankrupt
Also The WNBA only makes around 50 million dollars, the NBA make around 5 BILLION dollars, the WNBA can’t afford to pay players anywhere close to the nba salary, these players should stop complaining and maybe actually learn how to do flashier dunks in game , that’ll put butts in seats and therefore raise a bit more revenue, and eventually you’ll get paid like the NBA guys
Let the league fold
NonyaBusiness! But what I’m saying is that if they wish to get paid like men, they have to do that to generate revenue, might be unrealistic but I wish they would stop bitching about this
Thomas Hughes the WNBA only makes 50 million? When 25 million is charitably gifted to them out of the NBA's TV deal, plus another 10 million in an annual direct subsidy from the NBA to cover losses? so they are only making 15 million in revenue???

Here's the difference that she doesn't understand. If the lowliest bench-sitter on the worst team in the NBA went to the WNBA, he would be leading that league in everything: PPG, rebounds, blocks, steals, assists. Skylar Diggins couldn't hope to be the 12th player on the Phoenix Suns (the worst team in the NBA last season), not in her wildest dreams. There's a reason we all prefer to watch male athletes perform: they run faster, jump higher, throw farther, and hit harder than the most elite female athletes. She needs to stop deluding herself.

Someone in the WNBA needs to gather all these women together and let them know how economics works supply and demand. NBA gives the WNBA money every year to keep afloat and these women have the audacity to whine and cry about equal pay. How about the NBA pulls your funding and then you can whine and cry about only working overseas.
#westernwomenpriviledge
True true
I think your getting this confused skylar isn't asking for the same amount of money just the same percentage of the money
Noah Orakwue Even though it’s just a percentage there is nothing in the money pool to grab. If the NBA doesn’t give them funding then the whole league would crash.
If that'a the case than my question is whether or not the NBA is actually trying to make the WNBA profitable or not.
The WNBA costs the NBA 10million a year to keep afloat.
The NBA makes enough profit to just throw away 10million a year on the WNBA.
That’s why there’s a gap. Period.
Well said Playa🍻
It's basically been a tax write-off for them for over 20 years.
12 million last year...
When i see a center under the the hoop with the ball, invision a dunk 80% of the time. In wnba, all you see is a little hop followed by a tremendous effort pushing the ball up like a 5 year old. I won't pay $1m for that.
Bottom line....women's sports has always had an uphill battle regarding fan interest. Women themselves don't support it, but they fully expect men to support it. Women complain, but won't step up. You can't FORCE men or women to watch your sport. The NBA has run a charity in carrying the WNBA - it can't stand on its own. I believe only one or two of the franchises are privately owned. They allowed the teams to have ads/sponsors on their jerseys early on to allow for additional revenue streams (the NBA started doing it not out of necessity, but greed...hahaha!). They don't generate the revenue that NBA franchises/league does, so she can't expect salary and revenue sharing parity with the NBA. She spouts all kinds of statistics and facts, but not ultimately what's behind those numbers. Yes, the women still have to go overseas to make millions (Russia pays them millions, gives them gifts like furs and diamonds, pays for housing, etc.)
Brazil is perhaps the most soccer-crazy nation on the planet, but they can't sustain a women's professional soccer league. What does that tell you about the interest in women's professional sports?
Lingerie football even folded lmao
This isn’t even completely true because people love women’s tennis, badminton, volleyball, even soccer to some degree. The problem is the quality of the entertainment factor.
Erm not rlly. What I find is the most successful duel sports is when woman can compete in their own conditions or against men themselves. Tennis is popular for both genders. Poker (ik, but by some is still tech a sport) gives females opportunity to be successful without paygap. MMA on both sides of the spectrum is also doing well. Overall, their is interest in Female sports when their interesting. (Srry if his was a bit difficult to read)
@@iwhatwasthelastnell8829 You're talking about individual sports. I was referring strictly to team sports, and I think you know that. Even with individual sports, you'll find there are a couple of dominant women that get promoted to carry the whole sport. MMA is carried by men. There's usually only one or two great female fighters to promote at any given time. Female combat sports are still relatively new, and there just isn't a depth of competitive talent available to truly carry it. Historically, the same can be said of tennis, though there's more depth of talent. Throughout the world, women's professional team sports struggle.
Than I take away the Erm less really BC I do agree with u. I must have misread ur statement. However I do stand by everything else
how do you want more than 20% if every wnba team are making a loss? How the hell can the owners pay you 50%?
Women don't understand economics all they care about is making the narrative that there sexist
I'd rather watch Steph Curry warm up tbh and I'm not even tryna be funny it's just generally the wnba is just yano *boring*
OreoMask yea I could actually learn something from Steph Curry warming up
Steph Curry doing his pre game routine is actually more entertaining than the WNBA game. He hits half court shots and trick shots like its nothing.

Simple solution. The NBA does NOT prevent women from playing in their league. Prove it. Prove you are every bit as good as someone in the NBA by going to play in the NBA. Forget playing in the WNBA. Go play in the best league in the world and get paid like it. Sick of WNBA pay? Don't play in that league go play in the men's league.
Truth be told....How many people do you see wearing a WNBA jersey? 1 out of 50 million.
💀💀💀
maybe the WNBA players' parents
Sound Logic she brought all of her jerseys
You're being too generous on how many people wearing a WNBA Jersey. Hahaha
Never saw a wnba jersey n I live in nyc all my life
Skylar needs to be put in check. How about she play some of these players she’s attacking
Don't blame her for being upset. She balls the fuck out only to get shit pay while you got bums in the league getting PAID. *EDIT* : (Since apparently people are adding names to my comment, I DID NOT CALL HARRISON BARNES A BUM! I said BUMS in the league. Can't believe I gotta explain this)
They should get 50 percent of revenue just like the men. She didn’t say give her the same amount.
Dee Harrison Barnes isn’t a bum tho. How is she gonna complain about pay & literally undermine someone else’s pay? I understand her gripe, but don’t attack another man who’s living his dream & doing nothing wrong.
@@mylokaf the men negotiated that in their CBA some years back, the women must have had that opportunity if they have a players association and if they dont they should make one.
Only thing that bothers me is that they dont get part of the sales of their jerseys but damn the WNBA doesnt make the same amount of money as the NBA so its easy to figure out that the "employees" arent going to make as much as the men. Sorry but thats just the way it is.
“Let’s be honest there are only so many fast break layups we want to watch” I’m dying omg
I use to play in an "under six foot" men's league. Even that was more exciting than watching the average WNBA game. FYI we didn't lower the rim or use a smaller ball and we had no trouble making a layup or shooting from the outside. Also we didn't get a dime for playing. We had to pay league fees, tip the refs and buy our own equipment and uniforms.
Women's basketball is a complete and utter bore. If the NBA didn't subsidize their league they would fold immediately. Nuff said!
That is the absolute truth... Look at what the NBA pays just to keep the WNBA from folding. Seriously, take some time to do the research,....

WNBA players are lucky to even have a league
I agree, she should be thankful there is a pro-women's bball team in the U.S. I occasionally look at wnba highlights, but not full games, cause they're mediocre compared to nba basketball, men's college basketball and even high school boys basketball. The fact that there are a lot of lesbians in the wnba doesn't help either.
Yeah, Candice Wiggins a former WNBA player once said the that WNBA had 98% of lesbian players. She said she was bullied and was harassed for being straight.
Yeah I felt bad for her after hearing that. I wonder what she's doing with her life now. I hope that doesn't happen to Skylar or any other straight wnba player. I also feel bad for the straight basketball player girls who want to be in the wnba, and may have to end their plans to because of that. I hate how bad this LGBT movement has gone. Lesbianism and basketball don't even mix.
The NBA earns $7.4 billion each year (without losing any money), $89 per ticket and an average viewership of 15.14 million viewers for the Finals.
The WNBA earns $60 million annually (losing $10 million annually and compensated by the NBA), $17.42 per ticket, and an average viewership of 231,000 viewers.
Ladies, do the math.
Lebron and 4 fans would destroy the women’s all star team. Maybe people will watch the wnba when they learn to stop running towards the wrong basket
lol is there a video of that?...running toward the opponent basket
Bide yes, it was the all star game no less 💀

When the WNBA doesn't need the money from the NBA to keep the league afloat, then they can talk about getting more. That's just real talk. You can't ask for more if you already need help from someone else to keep your league going. Funny how none of the WNBA players complaining want to talk about the NBA money their league is getting. We all know why they won't. It doesn't help their agenda if they do. Which ia why nothing they have to say means anything to me. They won't discuss ALL the facts if the situation.
Critical word....FACTS.
they're biting the hand that feeds them, they have that entitled mindset. to shut them up would be to drop them on their fucking own but that would be a bad idea.
Zay Zay
Sometimes you just gotta drop people when they get outta line like this and try to take advantage of your good will. Just take the flak and move on. No extortion.
And I think most of country is ready for the radical feminists to take one on the chin, regardless of whether or not the media gives that impression. I mean I'm a very liberal guy but this shit is getting silly. If the WNBA gets dropped, the NBA will be fine
@@stevencoardvenice i honestly feel like they should drop them for awhile, see how they are on their own then take them back
@Nickel Mgtow yeah, that might work.
If women NBA players are equal to men NBA players, then play in the men's league.
Since its inception in 1997, the WNBA has never had a profitable season. They simply can't afford to pay their players any more than they already are. In fact, they can't afford to pay them the salaries they are already making. Get more viewers. Get more sponsors. Get more air time. Get higher salaries. It's a simple problem to understand, but a difficult problem to solve.
I saw on the internet I think it was on ESPN site that showed a document from the NBA that the NBA since they had a 70% stake in the WNBA that they lost 23 million dollars.these WNBA players are damn lucky the NBA still has a share in this league or they'd be flipping burgers at burger king.and the WNBA players calls the NBA out?.the NBA should just take their ball and flush the WNBA down the toilet.
Adam morison could beat her in a one on one, hell a 55 year old mj could beat her
Anthony Bennett would average a 40 point triple double in that league
Sir Leo i mean spud did avg 15 at one point he was nice
goat I could beat her and I haven't played basketball in more than a year
5 random white high school kids from Canada would take the wnba all-star team to game 7
1:11 seeing Lebron eat tacos is more exciting than any highlight the WNBA can craft.
Harrison would average 50 in the WNBA plus 15 boards and like 0 assists because none of the women could score.
1:01 “But nobody puts us on TV”
Cause you ain’t worthy of being on TV...
Maybe their not getting sales from pay per view which ultimately brings down sales? Idk maybe actually putting games on tv might solve the problem
@@namtiddies1353 no channel wants them.
taaj howell true they have been on multiple tv channels and there deals ended cause they we not worth it
@@namtiddies1353 They had deals with the Lifetime and Oxygen networks. Networks that are targeted towards women. They ended up dropping them due to poor ratings.
they dont split the profits because the franchises are losing money, even if they keep 80% of the profits. if they split it even, they'll be further down the hole and it'll be a matter of time before the league would go bankrupt.
Why is no one taking her side in the comment section...lol. Woman playing ball without men is boring. It was cool on the playground when you saw a girl who can hang with the fellas. Little girls wanting to go to that dead league is laughable...lmao. They better off signing up for the Big 3 league{yeah!!!! yeah!!!!}
She has a good point. But stop blaming the men or the NBA. College players should be complaining first then you. College players work hard and don’t no Money
No actually she has no point the league doesn't generate money in the positives ... the money the NBA gives them is all that's keeping that league afloat...furthermore if I'm being quite blunt nobody wants to a bunch women out display the energy of man ...bumping tits and damn near all of are lesbians and it's a well known secret that that's the culture that is promoted in that organization .. most people man and women just don't wanna see that
How the hell is anything she said a good point? She should be happy she got the opportunity to play in that league If it wasn't for the NBA she wouldn't have a opportunity This chick is delusional and u are too if u think she got a point.

The NBA was established in June 1946 Moses Malone & Bill Walton were the first players to earn $1 Million in a season, they were paid exactly $1,000,000 in the 1979-80 season. IT TOOK 33 YEARS !!!! FOR THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN HOW LONG HAS THE WNBA BEEN AROUND.
THE WNBA NEEDS JUWANNA MANN TO HELP BOOST UP REVENUE!!!!
You just had to take it there 😁

Yahawashi Coming Soon you smoking
I think these women want a piece of the NBA’s revenues. That’s not happening, nor should it!
They want NBA-level pay without doing nBA-level work.
Shaun Cameron : Exactly! That’s why I said what I said.
What they [WNBA players] really want is to make some crazy argument that they are somehow helping to fuel NBA revenues and this deserve a piece of that pie.
The truth is that they AREN’T fueling NBA revenues - if anything all they’re doing is reducing NBA profits - and they don’t deserve one red cent of the NBA money.
They know they don’t deserve it, and they know they’ll look stupid if they ask, but by going Public with their gripe they put out feelers to every lawyer in the country (and beyond) to find some theory that will allow them to be paid. They are also low-key begging advertisers to help them market the league better - which puts the cart before the horse.
The league has to draw people, which brings the sponsors, which raises the revenues.
What the WNBA wants is for the sponsors to pour more money into the WNBA to help market the league to fans so that the fans will hopefully come to the arenas - with no guarantees whatsoever.
I feel for them. They feel like, being at the top of their sport, they shouldn’t have to worry about money once they leave the game.
There’s always coaching, and if they look good, they can be actresses, media moguls and businesswomen.
There was a time when NBA players worked in the offseason by necessity, and many of them kept working because they either lived those jobs or made more money working than playing hoops.
But the league wouldn’t be what it is without those guys. They all played a part in growing it to where it is now.
Former Sonics guard John Johnson (R.I.P.) sold me my first BMW. His championship teammate “Downtown” Freddie Brown was an executive with Seattle First National Bank, which later became Bank of America. I think he JUST retired a few years ago.
Honestly, the NBA players from all of the past decades have a much better argument than WNBA players for getting a piece, especially those who never made a million dollars in their entire career.
They probably should be getting some small checks for life from these crazy multi-billion-dollar revenues, but that’s what their pensions are for.
Maybe their pensions grew under the new deal. That would be worth investigating.
You mean Dennis Johnson. But yeah!
In all fairness, the NBA itself wasn't big enough yet to grant million-dollar contracts. But unlike the WNBA's to date, the NBA became a profitable league by year 22.
I know I'm way late here, but her complaining about wnba players getting less than 50% of league revenue is hysterical considering the wnba has never once turned a profit in its entire existence.
Here is the sad truth...if the NBA didn't bank role the WNBA, for a loss every year, the WNBA wouldn't exist.
Skylar Diggins ends every point by saying: In the WNBA. And that also ends her point. Because there is just
no comparing the WNBA to the NBA!!! Not in audience appeal and support. Not in quality of the game. I'm sorry
but that is just the TRUTH.
When it becomes popular you get paid. Y'all haven't had that Michael Jordan type of player yet. Until then too bad. Its how the world works
They tried that with Lisa Leslie.
They better do like the guys leagues and go scout kobe's daughters in hope of getting a basketball Goddess. And ladies I don't mean looks. I'm talking about basket ball IQ and 360 dunks from anywhere, and shooting on anyone or anything and know it's going in.
@@DavidJDevelopment I'll be watching mini Kobe in the WNBA for sure.
NonyaBusiness! the only real thing separating NBA and WNBA players is the athletic ability to do superhuman feats. But the actual skill set of the WNBA players has come a very long way these last couple of decades. You're seeing crossovers, circus shots, threes, etc that are basically at the same level as the NBA just not as quick, explosive or powerful. These women can really hoop. They should really be trying to cultivate a strong fanbase of young women/girls.
NonyaBusiness! you're missing the point entirely. You don't tune into women's tennis to see 120 mph serves; women's tennis fans appreciate women's tennis because of the professional-level skill set those women bring to the table. No sane person can/should expect NBA action in a WNBA game. No sane person would expect that from an NCAA game either since there's a huge drop off between division 1 men's NCAA basketball talent and the NBA, yet March Madness is still exciting because fans' expectations are that they're seeing a college game, not an NBA game given that less than 3% of college players actually become NBA players. They shouldn't be marketing their product to mainstream NBA fans; they need to be cultivating a hard fanbase of young women/girls that will appreciate the WNBA product. It's silly to say that the NBA is the only basketball league that can have a fanbase.
She does realize if she came to the NBA she would get destroyed right? I put 50$ that Harrison Barnes would beat her in 1v1. He would out muscle her and post her to the ground. That the point why would i watch inferior athletes over superior ones? Men get more shine cos men are more exciting.
Slow down the 150 HS kids would shame her and any woman in the WNBA.
Right 😂😂 it would be like a grown man playing a 7 year old kid
Go get one of those AAU squads.
uhhh they are different genders dumbass
FUCK.Only 50? I’d put my house, The entire NBA organizations profits for 5 years, and my entire family on the line, because she would be whooped😂
Simple math. WNBA made 60 million last year (NBA gave the league 12 million)
NBA made 8.75 billion ....
Harrison Barnes is a NBA Champion.. Listen girls if y’all want more money y’all gotta play more exciting.. No one wants to see fast break lay ups all time 🤷🏾♂️
Calling it a fast break is a stretch.

We love you Skylar since college, but on this issue just date an NBA player if you want the same money.
@Dats a paddlin so true bro
Skylar's one of my favorite wnba stars (out of 4) but she sounds pretty jealous according to those quotes. 1st of all the nba's been around decades longer than the wnba, has 18 more teams than the wnba, and to be honest a lot more entertaining highlights than the wnba, beyond just dunking so that's why it's viewed more, has higher fan attendance and that's why nba athletes make more. She should be thankful the US even has a professional women's basketball league. I'm a guy, but I'd be very thankful if I had the opportunity to play basketball as a profession even if I were making at least $50,000 a year, which is enough to support myself and possibly if I choose to have a family in the future cause I love basketball even though I've never been paid to play it one day of my life. I'm 29 as of 2018, and stuck at a basic grocery store job with working with some high-school aged employees. So she's got it great compared to me and she's one year younger than me.
Brace Brooks lmaooooooooo...not laughing at u but what u said cause u right....i play ball too and i wish i could get paid 50k to do what i loved all my life....she got it good bro u right
I'm glad you agree. Yes no need to complain that much when you're making enough money to live on your own doing a job you love + she's married too. I'm not even dating a young lady right now unfortunately.
Ikr. She's making six fuckin figures. What else do u want. It's the jealousy factor. Put 20 guys in a room 4 good looking women. Have all 20 pay attention to just 2. What will happen with the other two women?
Damm you're right......
Damn bruh why you had to make me have an epiphany in the comment section lmao! I ain't dating nobody, work 6 days almost every damn week sometimes 7 days straight! I cant afford to even live still, passed on benefits cuz I'm not making enough as is, got no family, and I would love to hop more than I do rn. I cant feel sympathy for her or anyone else in the WNBA, they worked to get there but you cant complain bout that when there are plenty of other people (women included!!) That's killing themselves to try and get by. Naaaah.
4 years later and the WNBA is still losing 10 million a year
Its Harrison Barnes because they’re both in Dallas.
Harrison Barnes has no gripe with her. She called him out and that's fucked up. Now if she called out Chandler Parsons or "Powder" as we call him
Oh she plays in Dallas? Didn't know that.
Comparing the talent in the wnba to nba is like comparing middle schoolers to high schoolers. She crazy 😂
lol elementary😂
she not comparing talent shes comparing pay. wnba stars are just as talented as nba stars relative to their physical abilities
brownhippy please hold this L
Its not even close.. Boys middle schoolers will beat the WNBA...
Just lower the rim to 9ft let them do crazy dunks and people will want to watch but all the wnba players are against it. Oh well.
I have said that for years...I suggested 9ft 6in
Defenetly 9ft six inches that should be a start and see how it goes from there, by the way I already enjoy the WNBA but this would be very interesting
true will bring more excitement to the league.
One thing that I could definitely say about the WNBA is that the talent and skill level has gotten much better over the last decade and a half. These women can hoop for real even though they don't have the physical prowess to make the game as exciting as the NBA.
Israel Rosario Jr., have you seen what high school boys players are doing now? When the game becomes advanced enough, the fans will come. Zion Williamson was more famous than any WNBA player while he was still in high school. The WNBA needs to give the fans what they want instead of telling them what to want.
Call out all of these strong independent women that don't watch your games or buy your jerseys 🤷🏾♂️
Skylar Diggins needs to understand that there is a huge disparity in revenue from the NBA as compared to the WNBA. That will always be the case. Men will support women's basketball only up to a certain point and that's it. We want to see high-flying dunks, physical play, superior athleticism and other things associated with the men's game. If the WNBA is to be a more successful entity, Women have to support women's basketball. Period. If women don't go out and attend games, it will never be as popular as the NBA. Women have to act as if there is a sale at Macy's when attending WNBA games. Unless this kind of enthusiasm and fervor takes place amongst women for women's sports, the WNBA will always be relegated to where it is now. If you want the WNBA to flourish, get the masses of women to support it.
Mark Tatum says the WNBA has lost 10 million a year every year . The video is disengenuous
Omg this again wtf... why can't women understand how this works out

Skylar Diggins is a beautiful woman and maybe if they promoted female beauty instead of all these masculine females trying to be men people would support there product and btw Harrison Barnes had better stats then her better ppg, 3pt% Reb and ft% is like 1.2 points better then has 82.7 compared to her 83.9 percent point being is this if we want to watch masculinity will which the NBA it's not that difficult to figure out promote the beauty of the feminine principle come on get it together WNBA

Men having been playing longer than women in this sport. The men had to grow their basketball. In the beginning they didn't have the fan base, and they didn't make the money. The WNBA has to grow more, and they need to make themselves more acceptable to women as well as men. Women like basketball, but I think the PR for WNBA is not as strong as the NBA efforts were in the 60' and 70's when the NBA efforts were truly pushing for more fans. Baseball was the number one sport then and football was second, but after good PR men's basketball has truly grown.
Bonita Boggan WNBA has only been around for 20 yrs and do you think the NBA was a billion dollar thing in 20yrs ?? No !! They just need more publicity and money
Bonita Boggan well said
What in the hell are you talking about? There been many women basketball leagues in the last 60 years. They all failed. The WNBA would fail if the NBA stop supporting it. The NBA has been sinking money into the WNBA for over 22 years with little to show for it. Hell when the WNBA players tried to strike for increase salary six years ago. Then NBA commissioner David Stern said good now the WNBA can finally turn a profit and the WNBA players union folded in like two days.
Stop riding men coattails and do for yourself. All this independent women talk goes out of the window when it is time for accountability. Sassy women post on the internet about how men should watch the WNBA but then go back to watching their reality tv shows.
They need a young magic Johnson lady and an opposition like bird. Someone who can really turn heads, but wait it's an opposition in another conference that might can stop her. Sound interesting?
What made the NBA popular is the black players that started coming into the sport no one was really watching a bunch of white players run up and down the floor to do layups and midrange jump shots
As much as I understand her in this struggle and what they're going through, huge problem is not NBA players. it's the WNBA itself. It's a failing sports brand that has no idea how to fix its problem. WNBA makes no money.
