The National Basketball Association (NBA) appears to be very privileged when referring to its finances. The average team alone makes $100 million dollars annually. Also sales made from merchandise only increase the revenue. The salary that athletes of the National Basketball Association receive is rightfully earned and deserved, for it is based upon the overall revenue of the basketball income. The NBA salary cap is $55.63 million dollars. The National Basketball Association obtains a partnership with ABC, ESPN, and also TNT, while the WNBA only has a partnership with ABC and ESPN. If that is not enough of a reason for a salary difference, the WNBA is founded by the NBA. The NBA generates more annual income, so the salary disparity between women leagues and male leagues is not an issue of sex division, just simply numbers.
