Here's The Shocking Amount Caitlin Clark Will Make as #1 Overall WNBA Pick Next Year

Frankly, WNBA players making a single dollar are still over paid. The WNBA loses money. The only reason it even exists is for BS diversity and inclusion feel good reasons. It is a shitty product with zero following,

Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese, etc. will lose their following over time, not because they are not great players, but because the WNBA is a joke.

She should have taken Ice Cubes $5 million. The WNBA is counting on this crop of women's college basketball stars to bring their tv ratings with them. But no one cares about the WNBA. They care about their schools. They may get some to follow Clark, Reese, etc., but it won't be enough to effect any major changes in tv deals. I'd like to see them make more, but the economics are not there.

Wow, I had no idea they got paid that much? Does that Griner dude from Baylor still play in the WNBA or did his criminal episode in Russia cause the WNBA to release him?

no one really wants to watch females disgrace the game of basketball at the professional level

It’s only shocking until you realize the WNBA as a whole loses about $10 million a year every year. She’s lucky they’re able to pay her at all.

It is a business loser, so fortunate they even have a league.

Still way to high... A new employee of a company that literally hemorrhages millions of dollars each year and has to be subsidized by another company just to stay afloat should never complain about compensation

maybe she will pick up some endorsement deals from Birkenstock or Doc Martin shoes, and chain wallet / flannel shirt companies.

Look no one gives a crap about the WNBA. Not a big ticket so salary represents that not hard to see

Most businesses that lose 10 million a year lay off all of their employees instead of having shills act shocked they don't get paid very well.

Not shocking. The league does not make money!

She could make half of that working "fast food" in California.

It is a league subsidized by the NBA to attract more female fans to the game in general. It is nothing but a marketing ploy like billboards and cheerleaders.

Wait , didn’t Clark get a 5 million dollar offer from Ice Cubes league ?

She can always do like most women and do OF if she needs more money.

But can she rap?

and that’s completely subsidized by the NBA.

If they paid players what people think they are worth vs what they actually bring in the league would have folded numerous years ago.

The WNBA loses money every year. It's a welfare program for really tall, athletic women.

Plus personal trainer, gym membership, dietician, health coverage…
