The WNBA only exists because it is subsidized by the NBA and ESPN. It would fold in days without that support. So discussion of pay-parity with NBA players is ridiculous.

Caitlin is already doing commercials. She will be fine.
Good for her. She was fun to watch in the Tournament.
A great talent.

When the average WNBA game sells out to a large arena and get 1 million TV viewers per game, then the players can demand better wages.

She understands what she signed up for. She also will make $millions in endorsement contracs.

I won’t link to it directly because of language, but Bill Burr breaks it down perfectly. About how WOMEN let the WNBA down.

Ms. Clark understands economics and is not a naked Marxist.

She'll be fine.

I would assume that she moves to Indiana. $76,000 is a real good salary in Indiana if you have some smarts and don’t blow it on stupid crap.

Their going to make insane money off of her specifically-

she can’t sell her services to the highest bidder-

yet the pretzel logic/mental gymnastics crowd nods along.

I am overtly familiar that exactly one team makes money and that league shouldn’t exist at all, blah, blah, blah-

The justification for her subsidizing the rest of the league is a joke.

Caitlin Clark has been, at least as far as I can tell, very smart with her public profile in that she isn’t trying to make her moment anything other than being a good basketball player.

To be a draw at the professional level though, she needs competition, otherwise it’s just the Harlem Globetrotters versus the Washington Generals every night, and you can only watch so many of those games before it gets tedious.

The WNBA player who was arrested in Russia, I confess I forget her name, made several times more money playing for a Russian team in the off season than she did playing in the WNBA.

Loved watching her NAIL three pointers from waaaay downtown! Perhaps she could go on tour during the off season and have some fun exhibitions with others who can shoot like she does, male or female. Heck, here’s a great idea. In the off-season, organize basketball games with absolutely no contact (other than trying to block a shot, perhaps). AND, the only shots allowed are from 25 feet or more away from the basket.

Meanwhile, since the wacky woke wokesters cannot define “what is a woman?” what does the W in W.N.B.A. stand for? Hmmmmmmmm?
