To the best of her knowledge, WNBA player Aja Wilson said about the wage gap between LeBron James's multi-million dollar contract and a penny from a girls basketball player, I want to cause a storm of social media. .
"154 million people, that should be okay, we are looking for 1 million here, but the Lord has returned to my driveway," Wilson wrote. "And Brown loves not receiving anything from him."
154M ........... needs to be done. Yes. Not bad. Are you looking for M here? But, Lord, let's return to my drive at pic.twitter.com / IFDZLlI 53 z.
After signing a $ 155 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers in one year, King James will dominate the West Coast. Wilson, who played in Las Vegas Ace, came back and tried to state that her comment was not minor for James, but social media did not explain, more fans were seated as the WNBA alliance upgraded It is necessary to permit you to enter.
"How do you think income can be earned if money does not enter? Very few fans, unstable cities, and team. @ WNBA needs to work hard to make people pay attention There is, "user @ DBoy 46 says.
"I do not think that women can become top-notch professional athletes.Frankly, this is a pointless view, but if you do not have the opportunity to see games, athletes, or competitions, You will have meaningless opinions, please enter the area and really look at the game. "
There is a big difference in payment between WNBA and NBA. WNBA player's salary cap is $ 110,000. According to CNBC, the starting salary of NBA player is 565,000 dollars.
"When you look at professional athletism it has no eternal validity period, the average time it takes a woman to play professional basketball is five years," Borders said.
"These programs are designed not only to become professional athletes but also to ensure that our women are fully armed to succeed," she continued.
That said, WNBA players are not treated like they are at NBA. NBA will pay approximately 50% of the league's revenue to the player. Understanding WNBA's income and salary, the league player's income seems to be less than 25%. As time goes on, this percentage seems to shrink. In other words, professional basketball has a big gender wage disparity - and it is growing. Ticket income can be estimated by attendance and ticket price. In 2017, WNBA attended the most in six years. The total number of participants in WNBA season 21 was 1,574,078, and the average game play number of the team was 7,716 people. This game has won over 10,000 fans in NBA game of 2016-17 season. Of course, the NBA has been in existence for 71 years. In the 1966-67 season (the 21st season of the NBA), the attendance rate of the WNBA in 2017 was even more impressive when the NBA noticed that only 6,631 fans per game were attracted.
According to CNBC, the minimum salary of WNBA player is 20% of NBA player. WNBA's salary is up to $ 110,000, far below the highest NBA player. Out of 157 WNBA players, 89 players abroad, such as Maya Moore of Minnesota Bobcats, Sparks Nneka Ogwumike of Los Angeles, Cheyenne Parker of Chicago Sky, etc are playing abroad. They are getting very high income and getting more recognition than the state, but playing overseas is also a disadvantage: they are playing for two leagues all year round, so the time to rest there is not.
This week, the Internet called some NBA counterparts and passed some quotes from the WNBA star who requested higher wages. These quotes are very fake. Phoenix Mercury's Branty Gririna had requested "more respectful" "moderate athletes" like Taylor Johnson. "Annual millions of dollars a year" The ominous fact here is that the player is severely limited by the 6-digit payroll limit, so there is actually a salary gap for WNBA. WNBA players will acquire only 22% of basketball-related income and can not earn 50% of NBA players. When league genius goes abroad during the off season, they can earn more money. WNBA may be a smaller and less profitable alliance, bu
