WNBA legend Diana Taurasi just showed America exactly what’s wrong with today’s entitled athletes. In a new documentary, she whined about her salary and insulted hardworking janitors across the country. Her comments prove she’s completely out of touch with real Americans who work honest jobs for honest pay.
Taurasi complained that arena janitors made more money than her during her playing career. She used foul language to describe these working-class heroes who keep our sports venues clean and safe. This is the same woman who calls herself the best player in the world but can’t respect the people who actually make arenas function.
The spoiled athlete also whined about having to play in Russia to make more money. She called Russia a communist country while admitting she went there to get paid like a capitalist. Taurasi doesn’t even understand that Russia hasn’t been communist for decades, proving how clueless she really is about basic world affairs.
Conservative commentator Jason Whitlock perfectly captured what millions of Americans are thinking. He called out Taurasi as a dumb jock who doesn’t understand how the economy actually works. Whitlock pointed out the obvious truth that many athletes refuse to accept about supply and demand.
Here’s the reality Taurasi won’t admit. Janitors provide essential services that keep society running smoothly every single day. They show up for work, do their jobs without complaint, and earn every penny they make. Meanwhile, she played a sport that generates far less revenue than men’s basketball but expects equal pay anyway.
The WNBA has always been a money-losing operation propped up by the NBA. Despite years of financial losses, these entitled players keep demanding more and more money from leagues that can barely stay afloat. They want capitalist paychecks from a socialist business model that makes no economic sense.
Taurasi’s attack on janitors shows the ugly elitist attitude that’s destroying professional sports. She thinks she’s better than honest working people because she can bounce a basketball. This kind of arrogance is exactly why regular Americans are turning away from woke sports leagues that hate their own fans.
Real Americans understand that you get paid based on the value you create and the revenue you generate. Taurasi generated minimal revenue compared to male athletes but expects maximum pay anyway. Her documentary just proved that even WNBA legends are completely disconnected from the hardworking people who make this country great.
