They deserve more than dildos.
If it’s meant as a troll, then we are assuming someone who doesn’t like WNBA at all paid money for a dildo and then paid more money to go to a game to throw it?

Nah, I’m going with those are from the fans who were using them on themselves in the stands and it got loose

I thought they were getting what they deserve, that's why it so much less?

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.

it's not stupid, it's perfectly apt that's my point, like a billion+ more people care about footy ball than wnba or nba for that matter

aint no wnba hooligans stabbin eachother, i haven't watched a single game but it feels artificial to me.

like they found two great players to have a rivalry + some people who understood viral/social marketing and made it a thing, just like radio used to make or break a band, they play what they want you to hear

i got no beef with the athletes or the game but 10,000% growth overnight is what irks me, someone decided we're gonna make this popular and it worked.
