Speaker 1 (00:00):
And it's time now for junior and sports talk. What
you got for its junior?

Speaker 2 (00:03):
All right, Shirley. Okay, Well, at the All Star Game
last weekend, the All Stars came out and they wore
shirts that said pay us what you owe us, which
they will hold the revenue share then in the w NBA,
which is which is how they gonna get the more money.
How much more money do they.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Want because they can get.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Because you think about it, if we're talking about them,
as far as women playing basketball, the WNBA, the men
sell out the w NBA. Is it up to the
women to support the WNBA? Is that that's how they
gonna get more revenue? They're gonna have to have women
support the WNBA. Okay, it's not up to men.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Well, I don't know if this is true. I was
reading something online where it says the w NBA players
get ten percent, less than ten percent of what the
league's revenue is for salaries, versus the NBA, where the
players earn more than fifty percent. I don't know if
that's true. I don't I don't know if that's true,
but that's what I'm reading online. So there's a big

(01:03):
pay disparity between the genders, right, And the other thing
was that they had this big pool of money, these
millions of dollars to go out and recruit and advertise
and do all this other stuff. And they were saying,
if you got all this money for you know, to
recruit and advertise and all this, that's some of that money.

Speaker 1 (01:22):
Why can't we get some of that money? That was
one of the issues too.

Speaker 3 (01:26):
And I agree, pay then, yeah grand a year, Yeah yeah,
And you see the viewership is up. I think people
watch the w NBA more now too, don't y'all think,
don't y'all agree they do think?

Speaker 1 (01:41):
Yeah, especially since Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark. Yeah, yeah,
that's what spiked it.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
Yeah, I agree. I mean they you got the star
players that make you want to watch basketball, both both genders,
WNBA and NBA. You know.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
So if I'm a team owner, I've been in this
league thirty years, I've been losing money for thirty years.
Thirty years, I'll be losing money. We finally get a brofit,
I have to split it right now.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Today, that's all right?

Speaker 2 (02:11):
After the just want Hey, I'm all fooling, but I'm
just I see off over it. You're killing yourself off. You,
I'm not. I'm not against the women making more money.
Tell me that's not what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
No, sound, I don't think that you're trying. You're trying
to Are you trying to see both sides?

Speaker 2 (02:35):
I'm seeing both sides.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
No, we're not. I don't want to see any other
side than the women getting more money working for what
they are to do. They're doing them. Yeah, they need
to pay them. This has always been an issue though,
in women's sports, always across the board. Yeah, and not
just sports.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
There's a paid disparity between men and women and all industry.

bed ever Again, not.
