WNBA players walk off court during national anthem - Rumors say 4 of their 6 fans turned the TV off

The attitudes of some of these WNBA players is fascinating to me considering the league loses literally over ten million dollars every year.

They complain that the NBA management "won't pay them enough" while the NBA took a $12 million loss last year.
Do you mean the WNBA took a $12 mil lost, or the NBA took the $12 mil lost themselves on the WNBA, or the NBA took the $12mil loss from the NBA as well as the WNBA?

The NBA funds the WNBA, pretty much like a sugar daddy.

The NBA lost $12 million, meaning that the WNBA as it's own entity would be completely unsustainable.

Yeah the NBA is the WNBA's pimp there just arent any John's.

The NBA lost $12mil. That's news. Huge news. Helps give context to their decision to suck China's shit. While $12mil isn't that much for a multibillion international company(presumably) a loss at all is really surprising. Is there a breakdown available to the public to show how it happened?

Average attendance for a WNBA game is 6,535 and I would be shocked if even one-third of that is paid.

The TL;DR is that there is no revenue coming in, so almost literally any expense is a loss.

I don't have an actual public official breakdown though.

The WNBA have women who fight like men, and they will still blame men for some reason
Don't they usually cut away when there are fights in professional sports because they don't want to encourage fighting and poor sportsmanship? Been a long time since I followed any sport closely but I seem to remember this. They'd cut the feed and put it on the announcers or pan the camera away from the fight until it broke up.

I just love the fact that supporting black lives means openly disrespecting and showing contempt for the USA, keep presenting yourself as a hostile and alien force within this country, black America, I'm sure it's going to work out great!

Remember in the 60s when those black Olympic athletes did the black power fist on the podiums? That was seen as radical at the time, but they weren't disrespecting the anthem or anybody, they were simply using a literal platform where they were the focus to send their message, whatever happened to stuff like that?

To put things into perspective...
The WNBA makes less than 1% of the NBA's total yearly revenue and almost every team operates at a loss.

Teams change ownership almost every year or are owned by other NBA teams. The sales of teams are rarely reported and typically purchased by LLC's.

Professional bowling has more than 3 times better ratings than the WNBA on television.

More people watch children's little league baseball on TV.

There are twitch and call of duty players that make more money than entire WNBA teams.

More people watch re-runs of "cops" and "unsolved mysteries" than watch the WNBA.

The average WMBA player makes over 70k a year but would need to take more than a 50% paycut to make the league profitable.

More people watch women's tennis.

The WNBA has almost no reason to exist. No one watches this shit. If these bitches hadn't walked off the court and it being reported on national news no one would have known.
