The women deserve to be paid, and unfortuanetly some of that will come with a rise in prices. I would say the other thing it could bring is having a good back office setup to communicate with media and get them the concession and access they need.
As a hardcore NBA fan even the smaller podcasts and outlets have contacts within the organization so being able to get to games, get interviews with key team members, being able to have that access should always be there. That is the thing to me is hype brings money which the players need to make sure they get. There is gonna be a lag because of the contracts, but it should come. The W contracts in a few years should look more like NHL contracts or better.
There was an influx with Clark, Kamilla, Angel, Paige, etc being exciting to watch. Part of the cost of that is people online complaining about rules and players which so far the women coming up have been able to deal with gracefully, and you have "the show". To keep people engaged some of that circus is part of it, making the games feel like a party. The MLB doesn't do as good a job as the NBA and you see in the arenas in losing years a big downturn which effects the money, you don't see that in the NFL or NBA.
awesome write up
