Nahhhh we’re not going to sit here and pretend like people haven’t been making a big deal about WNBA salaries for years now.

Even the league knew how bad the optics were about the Griner situation and starting soliciting donations from sponsors.

Caitlin Clark herself will be fine. She will make millions in endorsement money and also appearing in tons of commercials.

It's the majority of other WNBA players that this applies to. However, the simple fact is that currently, the WNBA doesn't generate enough revenue to give players a higher salary.

WMBA players have been making less than that for 30 years and this is the first time women are outraged. Now that they have their new shiny white messiah figure, they want to voice their disgust. Where were was the outrage for Lisa Leslie and Rebecca Lobo you jabronies? :mindblown:

I don't fukk with Janelle Hill but she explained it well. That's 76k for four months of work a year, and the league pays for your housing and a car. That's pretty damn good, given the circumstances (unpopular/unsuccessful league, lack of merchandise/views/ratings/etc)
