before it was, the advertising dollars coming in for WNBA was not only paying them what they "deserve" but the NBA itself was subsidizing the pay iirc
pretty sure it's not a problem anymore though with viewership skyrocketing, jersey sales ^, sneaker deals i assume? like Jordan didn't become a billionaire from actually playing Ball it was all the other shit

WNBA TV deal is worth a bit less(2.2bil/11yr) than the MLS deal(2.5bil/10yr).
Lionel Messi is highest paid MLS player at 20mil/year.
Jackie Young is highest paid WNBA player at 250k/year.
This is probably a really stupid comparison.
