I’m guessing the absolute best high school boys basketball team could beat most WNBA teams & that even a Division 3 men’s team could beat a WNBA team every time! A Division 1 team would wipe the floor with the best WNBA team every single time.
Our local community college used to have the women/men b-ball games back to back- pay one price ,get to see two games. This past season, the women played a couple hours earlier than the men and the college raised the admission price for both games. They lost money on that ploy.
I’ve gone to two WNBA game and watched some on TV and I’m sorry but it’s just not as good. Layups and sloppy defense and throwing up a lot of bricks. I hope they get paid more but if they can’t generate attendance they don’t get paid more. Social activism doesn’t pay the bills.
“Delusion Gap”???? Have you seen the attendance at a WNBA game? Have you seen the so-called "competitiveness of a WNBA game? No fans in the stands=lower pay.
I don’t think that men watch any women’s sports just because they think they can beat them themselves—-I’m sure most of the men watching can’t beat them, though. (I was never good at any of those sports mentioned.)

16 year old elite boy teams can beat elite women’s soccer and hockey teams. Maybe same for Bball.

Maybe the WNBA isn’t so much underpaid as the NBA is overpaid.

I am unsure I could win a matchup with a bad high school girl athlete, maybe a 50/50 chance if she’s bad and a freshman. .

I’ve had it with major sports leagues. Good luck ladies, I will keep a very distant eye on you, just like the men.
