Caitlin Clark’s new WNBA salary went viral, and even President Biden is taking notice.
Clark, selected No. 1 overall by the Indiana Fever on Monday in the 2024 WNBA Draft, is set to make $76,535 her rookie year and $338,056 over the next four seasons, according to Spotrac.
WNBA salaries have been a topic for years — often forcing players to go overseas to play in the WNBA offseason — but Clark’s rise in stardom has brought new interest — and opinions — to the sport.

How many tickets will she sell? Will people buy her stuff ala Michael Jordan, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, etc.
The WNBA team was actually practicing good economics, which Biden at 81 will never understand.
The WNBA team didn’t have any choice in the matter, the league has a rookie pay scale.
““It’s time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons and ensure women are paid what they deserve.””
Meanwhile his party is allowing his “sons” to destroy women’s sports by allowing them to compete in women’s sports simply because they claim they are women...
Mark Dice touched briefly on this in his most recent YouTube video.
The only reason the WNBA exists is due to the NBA directly and indirectly subsidizing the league. “Fair share” of a business that loses money is $0.
Wait I thought that men can play in women’s sports..so its ironic that Joe Biden is pretending to give two sh*ts about Clark’s salary, he wants MEN to play alongside her
Anybody complaining about the “low” salary that Caitlin Clark makes should go out and buy some WNBA tickets - or keep their mouths shut about it.
Did the NBA organize the WNBA to make it immune from equal pay lawsuits? US Soccer spent years in litigation over compensation for the women.
She has already been doing TV commercials.
Her endorsements and extra deals are already likely in the $3 million range.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Not to mention that there are probably hundreds of multimillionaires (and up!) who would love to strike up a relationship with her.
$78,000 per year. Endorsements. About $3 Million.
“The WNBA team didn’t have any choice in the matter, the league has a rookie pay scale.”
Thanks. For picks 1-4 they start at $76,535 and goes up to $97,582 on year 4.
Pick #36 starts at $64,154.

NBA owns 50%.
The lesbians will be upset because they’ll no longer be the only ones at WNBA games.
She should have taken the 5 million from Ice Cube and played in the big 3. She could have played for the WNBA at any time although why she would want to subject herself to that is beyond me. 5 million plus endorsements year one. If she does well those numbers just keep going up.
Maybe she can renegotiate her contract next year when those numbers come in?

She could try for a position on a men’s team where she could make the big bucks.
