2025 WNBA average viewership: 960,000 📈 2024-25 NHL average viewership: 440,000 📉 2025 WNBA average base salary: $102,249 2024-2025 NHL average base salary: $3,817,293 Despite averaging 2x the TV viewership of the NHL, WNBA players earn just ~2.7% of NHL salaries 🤔

@togethxr 440K plus another 1-3 million from Canadian viewership. Double the games, attendance, ticket cost, and probably 10X the merch sales.

@LVpolitic @togethxr You realize these points only help prove the original tweet's point right?

@mcbc @togethxr No they don’t. The NHL does $7 billion in revenue with worldwide reach and popularity. That is 35X more revenue than the W, and nobody subsidizes them.

@mcbc @togethxr If the WNBA made 35X revenue than they do now, their comparative salary would be almost exactly the same as the NHL avg.

@LVpolitic @togethxr Hooo boy. If you knew how much revenue the WNBA generated (available on any search engine or even AI) you'd know that your number (it's actually between $6.8B and $6.9B) also proves the case that WNBA players should be making more. Significantly more. 7x more at least so thanks.

@mcbc @togethxr Idk if you’re trolling or delusional… but the last reliable revenue the W generated was about $200 million. NHL merchandise licensing fees alone are more than that.

@mcbc @LVpolitic @togethxr I can’t imagine being as stupid as you are.

@mcbc @LVpolitic @togethxr Sorry I love the W and know trainers who train them but yall clearly don’t do research Tv rights deal is not the same as league revenue and buddy you must be talking bout the NBA not the WNBA

@mcbc @LVpolitic @togethxr

@mcbc @LVpolitic @togethxr The WNBA themselves have stated that they LOST money in 2025. What do you $6.8b to $6.9b lol their record year for revenue was 2023 with $200m (NHL broke that in their first preseason month in September btw)

@mcbc @LVpolitic @togethxr You’re literally delusional! Only player really making WNBA money is Caitlin Clark. I love her and her game but she’s not bringing in Billions. Stop it.
