A private entity (NBA) choosing to do what it wants with its money, in this case funding the WNBA, is a slap in the face to the American way?

Have you not been paying attention?

It has to. The NBA has to pay and pay.

The NBA would be crucified if it stoped paying for the WNBA.

or maybe the NBA sees it as an investment and feels that if they can get more women to become household names like Caitlyn Clark then maybe they can make money off of it someday.

You said it yourself that she is basically making nothing, so it's low risk (compared to how much the NBA brings in) and potentially high reward.

the women's college finals just did more viewers than last years NBA finals.

I'll never watch. but if they can pay Caitlyn Clark 1/400th of what Steph Curry makes a year, they wouldn't need to pull in the same amount of viewers as the NBA.

Thanks for all your hypotheticals in response to my argument surrounding a PRIVATE transaction.

If the government was propping this up, you might have a point.
