And again, as a portion of revenue, women are paid less than men. I’m not saying they need to be paid the same, but people here seem to purposely ignore the math
But I’m not sure how that comment is a response to mine. You’re defending mocking people who like sports because it’s a business?
Are video games an interest? Or no, because there’s profit involved? Going to the gym? Nope, just business ig?

Yes, you…you are the one ignoring the math. The WNBA has existed for 27 years and doesn’t make any money. In 2019 the WNBA brought in $60m, while the NBA brought in over $7b. In 2019 WNBA lost $10-12m. Can’t find a source on profit or loss newer than 2019.
WNBA is projecting $200m in 2023, NBA is at $10.5b. WNBA is improving, but not even in the same ballpark as the NBA. Also remember that there is a base cost to run the league, so the players can’t just take the same percentage. Their CBA has revenue sharing but they haven’t hit the metrics to trigger it.
Sports isn’t an interest?
