MORE FROM 'THE VIEW':

The complainers need to start going to games and buying merch. It's really that simple.

Women don’t watch the WNBA. The WBNA needs to generate more advertising. So maybe Clark can help bring more viewers.

You have to put butts in the seats before teams can start to increase pay. Somehow they forgot to mention that the WNBA as a whole looses about 10 million dollars a year, the league has to turn a profit before they can start paying players larger salaries. They also didn't mention that the NBA gives 60 million dollars towards WNBA players salaries, if you're going to attack the pay difference you have to break down the reasons why it exists.

Brittney got locked up because of her low pay? I thought she got caught with the weed?

[floridaboykane]

Y’all women need to support the women of the WNBA…point blank period🤷🏽‍♂️

[Tharuth]

She was detained for weed not for playing basketball!

[AJ-ucow]

Their false outrage is so predictable. . .🙄

[blackoutblue]

What “deal” is Whoopi talking about? Lol 😂

[NeighborTom]

No woman on the view has ever seen 2 WNBA games live.

*Blame women for not attending women basketball, stop playing victim*

Dawn Staley said it best on NPR yesterday. Go back and look at what the NBA players made when that league was 28 years old and you will find they didn't make any money either. The WNBA is a young league with scant public support. People need to chill out about this. If you want them to make more money go see the games and buy the merchandise.

[SocialClout]

ask the audience how many of them watch WNBA regularly... you'll get your answer, sadly

[I.P.Freely-yzje]

Notice how the ladies didn't mention the games they go to.

[lorenzodonald]

Yall need to stop this bs...omg wnba isn't profitable

[fytghggyungf]

Getting paid 76k a year to play a game is definitely a first world problem 😂

[ttaylor]

Whoopi has NO idea what she is talking about

[openwheelracing]

yeah but WNBA needs to turn a profit before the pay raises

[charlesnyckd]

I would love for them to hear Bill Burr’s take on the WNBA. The feelings would be shattered.

[leroyrodgers]

Not controversial at all. Men's basketball makes billions of dollars, women's loses 10s of millions per year. What else needs to be said? The NBA actually supplements the WNBA's paychecks.

The priority of the world is messed up. These people throw a ball for about 4 months in the year and get paid 6 figures, where's the outrage for teachers?
