I for one would be more than OK with male athletes taking pay cuts to drop to her salary level.

You are in the minority.

The vast majority of useful idiots will say she should make more money despite everyone who works harder than her for less.

They're not "doing the same" thing, though.

Playing in the WNBA is not the same as playing as in the NBA.

"The buck stops anywhere but here."

I agree with your rationality, but I will never pass up an opportunity to rake Boeing over the coals after the 737 max debacle.

Very few.

Or tickets could cost less and patrons would have more money in their pockets after a show.

But that would cut into profits, and useful idiots can't have that.

So she needs more money so landlords can make more money?

When does this cycle end?

Agreed.

There are plenty of reasons for this, but one of them is that the game is just fun to watch.

I encourage everyone who takes the "it's just fun to watch" rhetoric to heart to look at NASCAR. There was a period where it was "cool" to watch NASCAR, once that hype faded and only the people who actually cared about the sport were left, they started having massive declines in spectators.

I expect women's basketball to have the same result. It'll be fun to watch for a year or two to please the feminists, but after that people will realize they don't actually care and focus more on other things.

Same. I'd rather participate than be a spectator.

But participation doesn't make rich people more money, so we know what all the useful idiots are going to prefer.
