WNBA Still Wants ‘Equal Pay’ While Sucking $50 Million a Year in Subsidies

The WNBA is at it again — demanding “equal pay” with the NBA, despite being a taxpayer-funded flop. Here’s the cold, hard truth: the WNBA doesn’t make money. Not even close. In fact, it reportedly requires over $50 million in annual subsidies from the NBA just to keep the lights on. That’s not a league — it’s a charity with a scoreboard.

Star players like A’ja Wilson and others keep parroting the same tired talking points about "pay equity," ignoring the very concept of how businesses work. Salaries are driven by market demand, not social justice hashtags. The NBA rakes in over $10 billion a year. The WNBA? Barely scrapes together enough viewers to fill a decent-sized YouTube channel. The 2023 WNBA Finals averaged just 728,000 viewers — while the NBA Finals drew over 11 million. This isn’t a glass ceiling — it’s a reality check.

Yet the woke mob insists we pretend both leagues are equal, despite radically different performance. If woke politics dictated pay, every failing business would be a gold mine. But that's not how capitalism works — or at least, how it's supposed to work. Propping up underperformance with subsidies and media guilt trips isn’t progress. It’s economic delusion.

Far From Woke Verdict: The WNBA isn’t being held back by patriarchy. It’s being held up by the NBA and held back by low ratings.
