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.
@MidSouthSports how will you as a conference address the issues behind Georgetown college athletics right now? As an alumni from gtown and the volleyball program I’d like to see the conference rally behind the survivor not the athletics. Set an example.
First event held at this conference center you poured all this money into should be about bringing awareness to sexual assault survivors, and ways that as a INSTITUTION are going to PROTECT survivors rather than try to hide them
It was such a joy today to cut the ribbon on the James A. and Martha R. Brown Conference Center. A special thank you to the James A. and Martha R. Brown Charitable Foundation, who, through their generosity, have impacted countless current and future students.
Very disappointed that @rebelabc was cancelled. Loved the strong female lead and always love @shondarhimes shows💔 sad to see that they didn’t even give the show a chance to thrive.
