Fair or not, that’s capitalism at work; WNBA players make significantly less money because far fewer people are watching and buying merchandise.
Who the fuck is that and why do I give a shit
What kind of apples to oranges comparison is this?
Yea. Dumbass ass kid basically stole his contact info. Screw him. Fine him more if you would like.
Fines should always be commensurate with the income of the person being fined. What some other uninvolved person makes is totally irrelevant.
What is Ulbrichs salary and what are some similar fines in the WNBA?
“Is this fair?”<spongebobchicken.jpg>
I mean. If one of my customers phone number was hacked I would be fired soooo
yeah, and i bet the team doctor for for her team makes more than her too….so what’s the point? wnba players make too little? go post this shit in WNBA.
WTF does this have to do with the NFL and memes??
must be a bot, makes zero sense
Well when you put it like that….
Paige Bueckners salary $78,831
OPs rate $9.50 an hour
Ulbrich makes $1.6 million. An equivalent fine for the WNBA player here would be about $4,926. The fine needs to be proportional to the offender’s salary, or else fines just become extra taxing on the poor and “this thing just costs X amount to do” for the rich
All I know is if my mama had to pay a $100k fine for me calling someone I would have gotten my ass beat probably for 100 days in a row at least haha along with other punishments.
Name 5 wNBA players without using the internet…
The only one I know is that Clark Kent named girl and that just from her popping up on news articles.
It’s not fair at all….the WNBA makes no money and is subsidized by the NBA so her salary should be $0!!!
Supply and demand at its finest

I know we’re comparing apples to oranges, but I still think it’s very amusing comparing nfl fines to wnba salaries lol
To be fair more people probably saw this call, or coverage of it, than ever saw a WNBA game or knew who this chick was…
What kind of comparison is this…
How many WNBA games are you watching?
There’s your answer.
Athletes don’t sell hours of playing basketball. They sell units of entertainment.
Asking if it’s fair that female athletes make less than male athletes It’s like asking if it’s fair that shake shack makes less money than McDonald’s.
Unrelated.
The son is more entertaining. They should have paid him $78,832 r/s
Maybe you should go so the differences between how much money the WNBA loses each year versus how much money the NFL makes. This is the most braindead comparison ever.
No but not in the way you’re thinking it isn’t fair…
I think the girls in Buns & Basketball make more money than the WNBA.
Do you watch the WNBA???
What are we talking about here?
The league is losing money. It would be fair to end the league.
Don’t understand why people think the fine is because of the prank call. The fine is because Jeff Ulbrich leaked personal information through negligence. That is a serious offense in basically any line of work. He’s lucky he was not fired.
When the WNBA loses at least $50 Million per year, she is adequately paid.
Her talent isn’t in doubt. Her ability to draw crowds and merch sales is what’s in doubt.
Same goes for Clark and all the other outstanding women stars.
Who’s Paige Bueckers?
I’ve seen Jeff Ulbrich’s son’s name more times this week than the number of different names of WNBA players I’ve ever seen…
Getting paid a salary that large to play basketball for 4 months tops is a blessing. Especially since most athlete make a large chunk of their money from sponsorships and ad deals. The world isn’t fair but she is still far more well off than most of us ever will be.
Yes, more people watched that prank call than watch the WNBA.

Let’s just pick random things and compare them.
