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:
Diana Taurasi kept it real.
The self-titled three-episode docuseries premieres on Thursday, and Prime Video teased fans on Wednesday with a clip from the series where Taurasi details the struggle and grind of WNBA salaries during the days of her playing career.
'The f--king janitor at the arena made more than me,' she said.
She "kept it REAL"???!!! Real, stinky, slimy BS, ya mean.
Here's video of her remarks:
NBACentral (@TheDunkCentral) ~ “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.” 😳
Taurasi premieres August 7 on Prime Video.

And hoo boy, did Taurasi get ratioed into orbit for this.
David Santa Carla (@TheOnlyDSC) ~ Yeah, shidding on hard working janitors will certainly get you that undeserved pay raise.
That'll win her fans and sympathy.
Dr. Judgmental Shoelace, PhD. (@DocKilmer) ~ She's gaslighting everyone, she makes more than $234k.
Oh, look at that.
Laura W - Wicked Witch of the South (@BumpstockBarbie) ~ The janitor is actually doing something.
Something of value.
Joey? (@LMartini9357) ~ The janitor doesn’t work 40 days a year. The janitor works for a company that doesn’t lose 20 million dollars a year. The janitor isn’t subsidized by big bro (NBA).
Theo Jordan (@Theo_TJ_Jordan) ~ Because you're the best player in a sport that doesn't have a profitable fan base. I despise 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.
Sean Spicier - Former Tango Dancer (Parody) (@sean_spicier) ~ In fairness, most janitors are probably better than her.
The janitors could probably beat some of her fellow players at their own game, too.
Alex (@Ajsoti) ~ Growing up is understanding almost all coverage surrounding the WNBA is total bullshit.
So, Diana, show us the janitor who has six-figure endorsement deals with Nike.
Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) ~ The janitor is worth more.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
