[QUOTE="Days of Broken Arrows, post: 171032, member: 4258"] This is a perfect example of biased reporting. I went through the original story. The word "attendance" does not come up. Nowhere does it mention that revenue comes from ticket sales. Nor does it mention broadcast rights or any other means in which these teams generate money to pay the players. This is like writing a story about '60s music and complaining that Captain Beefheart was paid less per concert than the Beatles...but failing to mention the Beatles were filling Shea Stadium while Beefheart played clubs. The people who read this stuff just assume there is some great Boss In The Sky who doles out pay un-equally. They don't realize that it's like the NBA vs. the WNBA. Audience matters. [/QUOTE]
