🔥 “I am woman, hear me score.” - Dave Pell, Managing Editor of the Internet My Mother and I have a tradition of listening to NPR when I drive her to various doctors' appointments. We’ve probably clocked hundreds of hours together. This week, we tuned into NPR’s interview of Sue Bird, the best point guard in women's basketball history. She is also a 13-time WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) All-Star with five Olympic gold medals. Two things caught my attention: 1. WNBA players tend to come from marginalized groups and over-index on black and gay players. This may (partly) explain why women's basketball gets less press coverage and has a smaller audience. In other words, racism and LGBTQ bias are leading factors 😡. 2. The top WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) player makes $234k a year, while the top National Basketball Association (NBA) player makes $51 million—that's 218 times his female counterpart 🤯 . Sound familiar? How do we help our female players get their 💰💰💰? It's simple. We need to tune into their games and bring our family and friends along for the ride. More viewers = more advertisers = higher payout for players. 12.3 million people tuned in to watch the NCAA Tournament doubleheader on Monday, many of them specifically to watch Caitlin Clark. Can we turn this moment into a movement? #payequity #womenssports

Investing in women always pays off!!

🏀 In the world of professional basketball, the disparity in pay between WNBA and NBA players has always been a topic for debate. While NBA players are known for their multi-million dollar contracts and lucrative endorsement deals, the average salary of a WNBA player pales in comparison. 💵 The average salary for a WNBA player is around $100K per year. In contrast, the average salary for an NBA player is approximately $8-10 million per year. 🤔 Why the Disparity? One of the primary reasons is revenue generation. The NBA brings in significantly more revenue than the WNBA, largely due to higher TV viewership, larger sponsorship deals, and higher ticket sales. Another factor is societal perceptions of women's sports. Women's basketball, like many women's sports, has historically been undervalued and underappreciated. Gender stereotypes and biases play a role in shaping these perceptions, leading to less media coverage and fan support for women's sports compared to men's sports. 🌟 But times are changing now! Thanks to the astonishing young talent in this year's NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament, the viewership for the women's tournament skyrocketed. The final game was the most watched basketball game (women's, men's, college or pro) in 5 years. Viewership of women's basketball is on the rise, challenging longstanding stereotypes and biases. As more fans recognize the skill and excitement of the game, support for women's sports is growing. It's time to break free from outdated gender norms and give women's basketball the recognition and support it deserves. #WNBA #NCAA #Basketball
