The NBA owns the WNBA. There is no reason why all the players in both leagues aren't covered by the same bargaining agreement. This would mean that the men would have to take a haircut in order that the women get parity. Too bad; I'm sure Stephen Curry could figure out how to survive on only $30 million a year instead of $55 million.

For the most part they play the same game, in the same arenas, for the same overall organization. If any other business segregated their employees by sex and paid women a pittance of what the men made, no one would stand for it.
