They get an apartment and a car too so you have to bump it up another 20K depending on the state

I know women that support women’s rights as they should but REFUSE TO WATCH WOMENS HOOPS.

They like men’s hoops lol and they don’t hoop themselves but refuse to watch women’s smh

 

[MegaTronBomb!]

It's worth noting, that NONE of the women with the money to own a pro sports franchise (outside of Serena's voiced interest in it) have decided to invest in the WNBA.That's more of the reality that owning something that makes no money is not worth whatever moral symbolic victory that can result of it.


The sooner that the WNBA faces the reality that they cannot reach women that spend money, the faster they'll drop these talking points.

By the time CC is in year 10 there'll be million dollar WNBA contracts but as of right now she's the groundbreaker.

Similar to Magic/Bird back in the day. They had to break the ground necesssary for the big money to be possible.

This
She their messiah

I guess people forgot these girls ain't making shyt off their actual game checks.

Caitlin Clark’s rookie salary with WNBA sparks outrage

Women’s basketball star Caitlin Clark has signed a four-year contract with the Indiana Fever worth $338,056. However, her annual salary has sparked discussions of pay disparity

"I can't believe the numbers are real, the WNBA is literally robbing these women"

If you want to be honest, the WNBA is literally robbing the NBA

wont they complaining how much the coach for the Aces was getting paid too?

I'm pretty sure Mark Davis just dumps money into the Aces so he can offset his profits with the Raiders. His own personal charity disguised as a Sports Team

Ain't no different than what Magic, Bird and Jordan had to deal with in the NBA 40-45 years ago.

It took those guys growing the game...putting it on the map and making it global. Which is why the league was able to explode in revenue.

Those guys never got compensated fairly for what they brought to the game. But what Pioneer is ever given their just due?

Caitlin has a chance to become a global phenom....she won't get that back in WNBA money but 25 years from now maybe these chicks can see a million dollar contract because of what she did for the game.

Bird, Magic and Jordan couldn't eat but because of their efforts you got bums like Tobias Harris today making a cool 250+ milly in lifetime earnings.

He catching strays.

WOMEN need to buy merchandise, go to the games and watch the games

[wire28]

It’s wild we got coli members making more than a generational superstar athlete

6 cert 6 figures 6 series

 

[BlackAchilles]

If she wanted more money she shoulda hit up Triple H for a tryout

 

[YakSpiller]

The people complaining probably can’t even name the last 3 WNBA champions.

Do people not understand how this works? Watch and go to the games

If you want them paid support the league.

They should also lower the rim to 9’ and let them cook.

 

[Killer Instinct]

70% of the people claiming she's underpaid won't watch a single game or purchase a single ticket to a WNBA game this season.

 

[Soldier]

it was cool when the league was majority sistas there was zero outrage now that Clark is there and will be the face of the league it’s massive outrage she only getting 78K as a rookie lmaooo

 

[Belize King]

When the Fever coming to play the Dream? I might take my babies with me.
