Right on! This is not a Barbie basketball league. WNBA players work hard, play well and are exciting to watch. They face the same challenges — racist fans, grueling travel schedules, injury risks — as male athletes, plus sexist “fans” who throw sex toys onto the court. And they’re generally better role models than their male counterparts. Go, Fever!

And yet another example of women getting the short end of the stick. Pay them what they are owed.

How can this low pay "scale" for women be justified? IT CANNOT!

Makes sense. The figures are eye-opening. My husband often watches women's basketball on television.
