If you’re looking for something actually worth celebrating this Fourth of July you’re in luck because I have come across some incredible news: IT’S THE CAESAR SALAD CENTENNIAL. Caesar and fries crowd - this is our moment. Don the green on 7/4. It’s only right.
I’m already annoyed by this conversation because for years, WNBA players have fought for more money. And when they were outspoken, so many of y’all told them to shut up or reminded them how they had no value The NBA has had 50+ years of investment, media coverage, etc. After 27 years, the WNBA will not be the current NBA. So stop comparing them.
Further context: This salary is for four months of basketball (40 games). Players also receive a free apartment + car. That doesn’t make the salaries acceptable, but now you know why so many women’s players play overseas to boost/supplement their income.
Weaponizing this information against WNBA players is another form of misogyny. These women have been dreaming of playing professionally in front of American audiences their whole lives.
Instead of clowning and reminding them of what they’re not — buy the merchandise, go to the games, and watch the games on television.
Very easy to criticize when most of y’all couldn’t get paid to compete at anything.
