I’m not gay, but 20k is 20k. Agreed the extreme disparity between ownership and median player pay is out there, and the disparity against other leagues is off the wall.
I always push back when I hear people say athletes get paid too much. The money’s on the table. It either goes to the owners, who likely inherent the team or are independently billionaires, or the players. The players are lucky to get 5 years to make as much money as possible, they deserve it way more than the owners.
Do you actually know anything about sports economics? Ticket sales are determined by the individual teams and are a separate pie from the money used to determine players salary. The salary cap is determined by the tv deals which have nothing to do with the points you thought you were making.
Useless idiots should try to learn a little bit about what their talking about before they show their ass in a comment section.
Ticket sales are determined by the individual teams
…what? Ticket sales are determined by the number of people who buy tickets. What exactly are you trying to argue? If ticket prices are lower, patrons pay less and profits go down. This means patrons have more money than if ticket prices are higher.
This is very basic stuff that has no room for ambiguity.

It’s clear you’re just going to twist your brain into knots to avoid acknowledging simple facts about reality.
I see it all the time and don’t expect more from you people at this point.
Ticket sale revenue* a little deductive reasoning should have made that obvious. It seems obvious that being obtuse is a cornerstone of your thought process though.
Ticket sales go to the individual teams. The TV deals are split amongst the NBA as a whole as shared revenue. The pool of funds the players get paid out of are out of the shared money for the NBA. It’s two separate pools. The players get paid the same regardless of ticket sales. The point your trying to make is that the ticket sales or hot dog prices effect lebrons salary. Which makes it obvious that you are talking out of your ass.
Money made during events are kept by the home team. So, you’re mad at profit gouging of the owners over ticket prices. Which is totally irrelevant to player salary under CBA of the union. Your original comment was that players are overpaid and they should lower ticket prices. When the ticket prices are totally irrelevant to player salary. You don’t know what you are talking about. You. Fucking. Idiot.
I barely make 20k and would do a lot of things to nearly 4x my yearly income
The problem is that the NBA pays way too fucking much

Or tickets could cost less and patrons would have more money in their pockets after a show.
But that would cut into profits, and useful idiots can’t have that.

Neither you nor the WNBA players are being compensated fairly. Solidarity, man, don’t bring others down.
Agreed.
