NBA is huge and people worldwide watch it but I feel like you’ll find a very small amount of people interested in the WNBA and players in the WNBA make significantly less than their male counterparts, why?
In: Culture
Women athletes typically get paid less because they bring in less revenue. Here in LA the clippers and Lakers sell out the Staples center 21,000 seats regularly while the Sparks don’t. Lakers tickets in section 306 row 9 are $92/ea, while I could only find premier seats for the Sparks starting at $25/ea. The NBA also plays 82 games while the wnba plays 34.
The US women’s soccer team brought in more revenue than the US men’s soccer team and still made less. I can’t explain that… Maybe better agents with better negotiating skills?
