Why do you think female professional basketball players make less money than male players?
<|assistant|>
The reason why female professional basketball players make less money than male players is due to the gender wage gap. Men's sports are viewed as more popular and lucrative, resulting in larger salaries and endorsements for men. Women's basketball games also tend to attract smaller audiences compared to mens games, resulting in lower overall income for the sport. This gap in salary between males and females can also be attributed to the fact that female athletes often do not receive the same level of sponsorship and advertising investments as their male counterparts.
