Yesterday, the WNBA had an All-Star game. This is an interesting concept because the WNBA actually has only one star: Caitlin Clark. The rest of the players are vengeful women who I’ve been told play about as well as high school boys. (I wouldn’t know myself, having never seen a game.)
What made the game newsworthy was that the women showed up in shirts emblazoned with the words “Pay Us What You Owe Us.” Considering that the WNBA has never turned a profit, they’ve just demanded a salary of ZERO.

I asked ChatGPT to tell me in what year the WNBA turned a profit. Its answer: “It hasn’t. While certain teams have been profitable in some individual years, the league itself has yet to post an operating profit.” In fact, as we all know, the WNBA stays afloat because the NBA, which is a profit-making enterprise, subsidizes it.
There are really only two reasons most Americans have heard of the WNBA. The first is because, in 2022, the Russians arrested Britney Griner on drug charges, and Joe Biden traded an arms dealer to bring her home.
The second reason, of course, is that, in 2024, Caitlin Clark joined the WNBA by signing on to the Indiana Fever team. She’s apparently an exceptionally good women’s basketball player and might even make a strong showing if she were on a high school boys basketball team. In addition, in truly newsworthy fashion, after the black lesbians on the other teams routinely ganged up against her, Clark exhibited Stockholm Syndrome by denouncing her “white privilege.”
To recap: Mostly, nobody cares about the WNBA, and it makes no money. This is why, while NBA salaries average $11.9 million/year, WNBA salaries average $147,745/year. A rookie like Clark gets only $78,066 per year from the WNBA. Don’t cry for her, America, though, because she’s estimated to be getting about $11 million/year in product endorsements. While the WNBA doesn’t make a profit, a lot of profit-making companies see her as a valuable commodity.
But enough about Clark’s value in the marketplace. Let’s go back to the WNBA All-Star game, when the women showed up in “Pay Us What You Owe Us” Shirts. I wanted to give you a straight tweet, one that just reported on the story, but I couldn’t find one. All I could find were dozens of utterly incredulous tweets, shocked at the women’s utter tone-deafness:
WNBA players, currently in the middle of CBA negotiations, wore "pay us what you owe us" t-shirts for warm ups at the All-Star game.

If the league loses 50 million…
They owe the league about $347,222 each.@WNBA pic.twitter.com/N2l1NkILMQ
The WNBA loses $50 million every year and has NEVER generated a profit. You deserve $0.00. pic.twitter.com/fWWxU0pSt1

These women are the bitter—and I do mean bitter—end of identity politics. They’ve been told that they are victims of a racist, misogynistic culture, and, all evidence to the contrary, they believe it. And so, despite contributing nothing of value and, nevertheless, being paid merely to exist, they go out and demand more...and still more.
It would be laughable were it not that each woman is the tragic destruction of someone who could otherwise be a useful, happy person. Worse, collectively, they contribute to the breakdown of American society.
