Look, I am not one of those people who begrudge star athletes for making 7-figure salaries while teachers make barely enough to pay for their gas back and forth to school. Right or wrong, society is willing to pay more for tickets to professional sporting events than for education. If you are good at it, you deserve every penny the team is willing to pay you. But, by the same token, fans are not willing to pay nearly as much to see female basketball players as they are male basketball players. So go on complaining about how you deserve as much as (or nearly as much as) your male counterparts. By that same line of reasoning, neither you NOR the men deserve as much as a high school janitor.
yea i def. think the girls should get paid a little bit more. but the game is not as exciting as mens. I personally love basketball, playing or watching. The reason for there low salaries is the attendance, you cant pay someone more than what they are making of ticket sales, and concessions. I think that if you lowered the goal for the girls about foot to a foot and a half would give it more excitment. More dunks, ally-oops. that's what fans want to see high flying action. with the girls you do not really get that, yea we mite see Lisa Leslie or oh girl Parker throw it down every now and then but its not enough to get people who are not fans of girls bball to become fans. But professional sports players are over paid. they should get paid by there performance throughout the year. Alot of them get paid and slack off and in there contracts they need to become better role models for the young adults.
yes, women should get paid the same amount as men in pro basketball because they both fought hard to be pros and get to where they are now so they should both get the same amount as one another
Because men's basketball is more watched than womens, they make money through advertisements and merchandise and more people get that from the men's rather than the women's
Men get paid more becuase the women are supposed to be in their kitchens
No. Sport is sexist.

Mens college basketball is astronomically more popular than the womens. Not even women watch the womens version. An example of how much more popular it is. The Ncaa Final Four are officially called the Men's tournament and women's tournament. However the men's version is referred to as "Te Tournament" and the women's as, "The Woman's Tournament."
