WNBA Players Are Overpaid, by Tho Bishop, at mises.org. This non PC way of looking at this won’t make many people happy. But economic reality is what it is. Excerpt from the article: “The real issue why WNBA players aren’t paid as much as NBA players has nothing to do with sexism and everything to do with the fact that the WNBA simply isn’t very popular with Americans…..A case can actually be made that WNBA players are actually overpaid relative to what consumers actually want. After all, the WNBA is subsidized by the NBA in a variety of ways including direct financial support, free publicity, and the fact that many WNBA franchises are owned by the city’s NBA owner. In fact, the WNBA’s big television contract was itself a byproduct of the channel reworking its agreement with their male counterpart. So instead of grumbling about the salaries male basketball players enjoy….maybe they should be thankful that the men’s product helps bolster their own paycheck.” Related article: Tennis Champion Rafael Nadal Says Men And Women Players Do’t Deserve Equal Pay, at womenintheworld.com.
