I tend to agree that with the likes of Caitlin, Sabrina or Angel Reese the viewership has finally increased but even that I don't think that the salary will make a difference. There clearly needs a change in the salary structure for WNBA considering that disparity over NBA athletes was probably inhumane tbh, they could have at least increase a few percentage of their salaries that would increase their morales.
Perhaps it will take time for the salary adjustment since WNBA is in loss last year so the league will need to get back first the loss and then make adjustments once the profit from viewership is consistently increasing.
WNBA viewership just increased recently so probably they are still testing the water before they make a move.
But for sure they will get salary adjustment since the league is already popular even to NBA fans.
I think from here on out the viewership is likely increasing especially with generational talents like Clark and Ionescu and other rookies like Paige Bueckers, Iriafen, Citron, etc. It's getting more interesting tbh in the WNBA right now compare to the past seasons.
They may not be as good to the NBA but from what I see is that it's getting interesting and it will be a matter of time before it picks the phase. Hope that a lot of NBA players will supports the WNBA too or promote them because as far as I can see it, that's one thing they'll be more popular to the masses.
Yeah, they'll get there for sure. No need to rush. It's just that some players expect to earn more, when in fact, they're already in a better position now compared to before.
Anyway, have you guys seen that NBA teams are bringing back their classic jerseys? Finally, I get to see the iconic Sixers jersey again. I'm a Warriors fan, but of all the jerseys, classic or new, the Sixers jersey is the one I like the most. I've been waiting for them to bring that design back, and they finally did. It's very iconic to me, maybe because I'm also an AI fan. I remember having the same jersey when I was in grade school.
