    I’m gonna bet that corporate executives are bigoted assholes and increases in profits won’t substantially go to the women players.

      The WNBA is currently operating at a loss.

      Players in the WNBA are unionized and if and when the WNBA starts turning a profit they will be compensated.

      To put things in perspective, the WNBA makes less than 1% of the revenue of the NBA. They got a long way to go before they’re making anything near to what the NBA players make.
