RantLook all you haters out there can really kiss butt ok. Because we shouldn't get paid the same amount but it's the fact that we have a job too. We love Basketball too. Unlike you losers who sit on the couch and get fat everyday, we actually go out and practice basketball just as hard as men do. We shouldn't get the same pay I will say that. But at least we should get like 300,000 for the good people. All the sorry people can just get under 100,000. But it is bad people as garbage as Shawn bradley got more money than us. Please trust me we aren't filthy animals that work hard and don't get a reward. So stop looking at us like we don't deserve any time. So all of you can kiss butt. WowI never thought I would see a professional athlete moaning about how hard she has to work for her pitiful paycheck. Look, you spend maybe a month every year working out for 3-4 hours a day to get ready for the season. When the season starts, you work maybe 4 hours a day. And for 6 months+ you don't do jack. Meanwhile, we "couch potatoes" are "sitting on the couch and getting fat" for 3-4 hours a day because we need to unwind from 9-10 hours of real work. That's 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. And even if you only make $100,000, that's more than most of us.

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
