RE: Dear WNBA: Stop complaining about the "pay gap"
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
$71k a year is not a huge amount but it does allow an athlete to be “a pro” i.e. they can focus full time on their careers in that sport.
As with most of these kind of arguments, people tend to miss the point. It’s not blacks worse off than whites or men being given more than women, it’s social inequality full stop that is the problem. In a world where people still starve death in their thousands everyday, the idea of anyone earning $6million a year regardless of their gender or skin colour is farcical

The idea of making 71,000 dollars a year is probably a mystical pipe dream for most of the population in the world, especially to play a sport. Yeah, it is just above average for Americans but lets also keep in mind that this average includes the bench-warmers who probably only see a few minutes of play-time per game.
