I agree with most of your comment, and I don't see how it contradicts mine. I'm not saying at all that WNBA players shouldn't be paid more than NBA players because they are less competitive -- just that the "we play the exact same sport, so we should get the same pay" argument for equal pay is incorrect (since the "same sports" are at different competitive levels). In my opinion, professional sports especially in the USA is largely a matter of entertainment, and pay is determined by how popular they are. For whatever reason, if WNBA is more popular than the NBA and the female athletes get paid more, that's perfectly fine.
