The WNBA hasn't exactly been covering itself in glory these days. Not that it was doing a great job before, mind you. Last month, the league -- heavily subsidized by the NBA -- demanded players get paid more and then launched a tone-deaf 'Let Her Cook' campaign that backfired.
Now Diana Taurasi (don't worry, this writer had to look her up, too), is lamenting the fact the janitor got paid more than she did:

Bingo.
It sure does come off as bratty.
The janitors could probably beat some of her fellow players at their own game, too.
So, Diana, show us the janitor who has six-figure endorsement deals with Nike.
YUP.
There are far too many people who don't understand how value works.
Diana is one of them.
