Angel Reese recently spoke strongly about the issue of equality of salary in basketball, making a frank request to the CEO of NBA. She emphasized that female players deserve a salary equivalent to male colleagues at NBA. “The female players should receive the equivalent salary of the NBA players,” she said, attracting the attention of the public and experts.

Immediately after this statement, Reese received an appropriate response from the NBA leader. The debate about the wage difference between WNBA and NBA has long been a hot topic in the sports industry. Female players often face significantly lower income than men, although they also devote and play with equally drastic spirit.

Many supporters of Reese’s viewpoint, saying that there should be a change in the salary structure to ensure fairness between the two tournaments. However, there is also a protest, saying that the current salary reflects the revenue and popularity of each tournament. While NBA brings a huge revenue from television copyright and funding, WNBA is still on the development journey to reach the same influence.
Although controversy continued, Reese’s statement has contributed to sparking a wide discussion about the rights of female athletes. She not only represents her voice but also on behalf of many other players who are fighting for equality in sports. The fierce RESE can be the driving force to promote positive changes in the future.
