WNBA’s Diana Taurasi Gets Slam DUNKED for Whining That Arena Janitor Made More Than She Did (WATCH) – Twitchy

The WNBA hasn’t exactly been covering itself in glory these days. Not that it was doing a great job before, mind you. Last month, the league — heavily subsidized by the NBA — demanded players get paid more and then launched a tone-deaf ‘Let Her Cook’ campaign that backfired.

Now Diana Taurasi (don’t worry, this writer had to look her up, too), is lamenting the fact the janitor got paid more than she did:

Here’s more from the New York Post:

Here’s video of her remarks:

“I’m the best player in the world, and I have to go to a communist country to get paid like a capitalist… the f*cking janitor in the arena made more than me.” 😳

And hoo boy, did Taurasi get ratioed into orbit for this.

Yeah, shidding on hard working janitors will certainly get you that undeserved pay raise.

That’ll win her fans and sympathy.

Oh, look at that.

The janitor is actually doing something.

Something of value.

The janitor doesn’t work 40 days a year.
The janitor works for a company that doesn’t lose 20 million dollars a year.

Bingo.

Because you’re the best player in a sport that doesn’t have a profitable fan base. 👁️ I depise this attitude more than I have words to describe. The WNBA is not even real. It’s a social-engineering experiment for Equity revolution. 🧙✊🦄

Diana Taurasi can piss off! What a brat.

It sure does come off as bratty.

In fairness, most janitors are probably better than her.

The janitors could probably beat some of her fellow players at their own game, too.

Growing up is understanding almost all coverage surrounding the WNBA is total bulls**t. https://t.co/L5K0kpmyvT pic.twitter.com/g66Kq678lL

So, Diana, show us the janitor who has six-figure endorsement deals with Nike.

The janitor is worth more. https://t.co/kVHWZWe5TT

YUP.

Seems like confusion over how capitalism works…

It’s not a guarantee of a large salary.

If you’re the best at something that people value less than cleaning services, then you get paid less than that. https://t.co/vYSi9lgVFo

There are far too many people who don’t understand how value works.

Diana is one of them.
