NBA stands for National Basketball Association. WBNA stands for Women's National Basketball Association. The NBA is more known world wide and makes a lot more money than the WNBA. The average salary for the NBA is $5.15 million and the average salary for the WNBA is $72,000. To me this is extremely unfair. It doesn't make sense to me why the NBA would receive more than the WNBA. This country has gone through a lot of discrimination and I think this is considered a type of discrimination. There has been laws trying to prevent discrimination and having men receive more money than women just doesn't seem like something that is trying to prevent discrimination.
Usually, the NBA has sold out seats for every game. Now the WNBA usually, doesn't have sold out seats. It is more like going to a college basketball game. The NBA games are a lot more exciting and entertaining. I have attended a WNBA and to be honest it was not that exciting. There are a lot more other things I would have rather been doing. Now I haven't been to an NBA game, but I do watch them on TV and they are fifty times more exciting.
The NBA is one of the oldest sport league in North America. Where the WNBA was found around 1996 and just started playing games a year after. There weren't many teams to start out with the WNBA, but is now growing and becoming more popular around the United States. NBA is so big, because people all over the United States love to watch men play basketball. They are more athletic, they can dunk, the game is faster than the WNBA too. If a women that was from your community that has entered the WNBA, that is going to bump up the number of people that will watch this sport.
Also, the NBA have more sponsors than the WNBA due to the fact that they have been around much longer. The NBA attract more money to their games leading to increase in their salaries and increase in the amount of sponsors that want to support them. WNBA just isn't that popular yet and doesn't have the money and sponsors that the NBA has.
