The ridiculous “equal pay” debate about the WNBA coming from some Democrats raises an awkward question when it comes to their view of transgenderism: If men and women are indistinguishable and the WNBA doesn’t pay enough, why don’t women’s basketball players join the NBA instead? .....
The issue here, of course, is that neither Biden, members of his Cabinet, nor his judicial nominees can answer what they think a woman is. In the view of Biden and Democratic politicians, there are no differences between men and women, and men can be women or women can be men just by saying that they are. It is the Biden administration’s position that there are no problems with male athletes competing against female athletes or changing alongside them in the locker room. If you were to ask an average Democratic politician, you would be told that your gender is whatever you “identify” as.
That logic necessitates that you argue that there are no differences between men and women and that you can change from one to the other simply by saying so. By that logic, then, if the WNBA does not pay women’s basketball players enough, and there are no differences between men and women, why don’t women’s players join the NBA to cash in on those multimillion-dollar contracts?

Agree...would like to see Caitlin drop 30 on the pathetic Pisstons...and their goober owner.
We need some men to join the WNBA.
The men should share their money with the women especially Clark because she’s a minority
That is actually not a bad idea. Fight fire with fire. Not one of those teams are going to want a woman on their team. Maybe they will become a powerful voice of opinion to help protect women’s sports from males.
“We need some men to join the WNBA.”
We can also use some men in the GOP.
If it was equal pay for WNBA, wouldn’t every player be paying the NBA a substantial amount? How many could afford that?
the ticket office, the sponsors, are less profitanle, period.
that whack job that landed in Russian jail added stink.
You know...I’d really like to see 10 dude wannabe dudettes form a team and just beat the dog snot out of the wnba gals. I think that’d end the trans nonsense in a second.
I say bring the women in!
Well, they do that sort of. They wait in the Hotels for the players.
“”””Not one of those teams are going to want a woman on their team.””””
I think pro sports is the opposite, they would kill to get a female on their team, in the past sports teams have tried desperately to get a female on the team in some way, as a kicker, or anything.
one of the things I still hope happens in sports and movies and such is you get paid if you put butts in the seats I think the WNBA is way below the NBA in ticket sales and TV broadcasts.
Anyhoo here are the top WNBA salaries 2024.
2024 Cap Hit Rankings ; Arike Ogunbowale · $241,984 ; Kahleah Copper · $241,984 ; Jewell Loyd · $241,984 ; Diana Taurasi · $234,936 ; Natasha Howard · $234,350.
the globetrotters should take Clark on a tour.
Heck yeah.
If women play to the same whistle as men, then yes - equal pay. e.g. soccer. Both play on the same size pitch and for the same time. Tennis - no.
Don't know about other sports.
I’m sure women can learn to travel and carry the ball as well as any male NBA player.
I think that has already happened.
Been curious when some average European baller joins the WNBA to watch all the butthurt happen.
