Biden showing his economic ignorance again, if she is a big star, she will attract lucrative outside contracts.

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.

Her endorsements and extra deals are already likely in the $3 million range.

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.

She's not being paid for how many goals she scores, she's being paid for how many $10 hot dogs and $20 beers she sells.

Maybe she can renegotiate her contract next year when those numbers come in?

Outside of beach volleyball, there isn’t a women’s sport worth watching for more than 30 seconds, unless you have a personal tie to a player, or team.
The WNBA is just plain painful to watch, it’s pathetic.

She’s a great shooter, but once she’s in the WNBA and the new wears off, nobody will pay any attention to her.

This is the minimum wage controversy in microcosm.

Liberals and feminists are demanding that WNBA players get paid more. Some are demanding equal pay with the guys. Okay, fine. Let’s pay every WNBS player the same league minimum as the NBA. Now, the WNBA doesn’t have a fraction of the NBA’s ticket sales, media exposure or team tchotchke sales, so the teams will quickly run out of cash. Then what? They simply go out of business? “If you can’t afford to pay a living wage, you should not be in business.” So fine, pay them $900 grand a year their first year. It’ll be the last WNBA season you ever see.
