Quote from: AZGiantFan on April 18, 2024, 01:19:54 PMBut even if she makes it to the top of the WNBA, what's the most she can hope to make, half a million?  Which is twice what the top players make now?

But you're right that nothing changes until (unless) the league starts to make money.  But there is no sign that's going to happen.

I would have 1000% agreed with you on this until a few weeks ago when her games were some of the highest rated basketball games EVER - and not just for women.  I was watching....  Then they just had a WNBA draft that crushed all previous versions, ratings wise. 

I'm not saying the WNBA can parlay this into a huge payday...but it's a lot more possible than I would have thought even just a couple weeks ago.  If they keep their (mostly manufactured...like most sports) rivalries alive, who knows?
