The NBA pays 50% of its revenue to men. WNBA players get less than 7% of WNBA revenue. Why does it matter if we solve the gender-wage gap in the WNBA/NBA? .Today I explain why this is important. Even if most of us never play professional sports.

It seems clear the WNBA/NBA has 2 very distinct stories they tell about WNBA profitability. For investors, the WNBA is amazing. For players, the WNBA is impoverished. To solve this mystery, I argue here we need to think about Scooby-Doo! .

A few days ago at @theslingutah.bsky.social I note that Major League Baseball does not need a salary cap. Very glad to see Bryce Harper tell the Commissioner the same thing. Harper was more colorful in his choice of language!.

Bryce Harper told MLB commissioner Rob Manfred to "get the f--- out of our clubhouse" during a meeting with the Phillies about the game's economics, sources told ESPN.

This weekend the WNBA Stars told the NBA/WNBA to "Pay Us What You Owe Us!" . Today I calculated what that means. Given what we know about future revenues, average pay should be $1.5 MILLION! . Not $120,000!.
